Top Local Melbourne: Melbourne's Best-Rated Local Businesses, Ranked

What we do

We do the legwork of finding Melbourne's best-rated businesses

Finding a good tradie, cleaner or agency in Melbourne usually means an evening of open tabs: search results, star ratings, half-finished websites and no way to tell who is actually worth calling. We do that sorting for you. For each of our 20 categories we go through the businesses that serve Melbourne, check each one, and publish the ten that come out on top.

Every business is measured the same way, with one score that weighs how highly customers rate it against how many customers have rated it. Nobody can pay to move up the list.

Good to know

Questions people ask about Top Local Melbourne

Is Top Local Melbourne free to use?

Yes. Browsing every ranking is free and needs no account.

How do you decide who is in the top 10?

We collect the public star rating and review count of each Melbourne business in a category, leave out those without a working website, a real presence in Australia or enough reviews, and rank the rest with one score. The ten highest are listed.

Can a business pay to rank higher?

No. The order is the score and nothing else. A category may carry one promotional listing above the ranking; it is always labelled Featured and it does not change anyone’s position.

Why is the score not the same as the Google rating?

A perfect rating from thirty customers tells you less than a slightly lower one held across a thousand. Our score takes both into account, so it usually sits a little under the star rating. Each entry links to the business’s reviews on Google Maps so you can read them yourself.

How often are the rankings updated?

Each ranking shows the date it was last recalculated. Scores move as businesses gain reviews, so positions can change from one update to the next.
