Every guide above scores businesses on three composite axes — the same proprietary diagnostic Gravity Growth runs on its own clients. The score is the score. No featured spots for sale. No paid placements. No bias toward businesses we work with. If a business ranks #1, it's because they earned the #1 score.
01
Real customer feedback (not just star averages), word-of-mouth signal, named-author press, longevity in market, named customer photos.
02
Schema markup, FAQ coverage, structured data, AI engine citation frequency, entity recognition signals across the open web.
03
Response time, booking ease, post-purchase follow-through, problem resolution rate, public reputation under pressure.
Heat Map score is earned, not bought. But if you want to know where your business currently scores and what it would take to move up — we'll show you. Free, no sales pressure.
