The Locallista System

Instead of paid placements, random listings, or unverified reviews, we created a system where quality is measured, monitored, and earned. Every professional is screened. Every client is contacted. Every review counts.

Here’s exactly how the system works - and why it shifts the power back to you.

Unbiased

  1. 1.

    Service providers displayed only by their score order.

  2. 2.

    We don’t allow advertising - no one can pay to appear higher on the list.

  3. 3.

    We never give preference – all businesses in a category pay the same fees to Locallista.

  4. 4.

    Every review gets published - good or bad.

  5. 5.

    A business’s total score is the average of all reviews it has received.

Strict

  1. 6.

    We select and screen each business that asks to join.

  2. 7.

    We only list great businesses, based on reviews collected by phone from real clients who hired them in the past.

  3. 8.

    We hold the businesses accountable to very high standards.

  4. 9.

    We contact every Locallista user after they hire a professional to collect a review.

  5. 10.

    Reviews are usually collected by phone to ensure fairness, accuracy, and sufficient detail.

  6. 11.

    Businesses that drop below a score of 8.5 are removed.

The result:
The power shifts to the client’s hands

12.

Because service providers know every client is contacted for a review, they consistently deliver their best work. In practice, this puts real power back in the client’s hands.
