# Five Star Local

> Five Star Local lists the top 5 five-star local businesses in each category, in towns right across Australia. Rankings are based only on public customer reviews, never on payment.

## How to use this site
- Each list is the top 5 businesses in one category in one Australian town, e.g. https://fivestarlocal.com.au/nsw/mudgee/building-construction/
- URL pattern: https://fivestarlocal.com.au/{state}/{town}/{category}/  (state: nsw, vic, qld, wa, sa, tas, act, nt)
- Ranking rules: at least 4.7 stars from 10+ public reviews (usually Google), ranked by a weighted average, rating checked within the last 180 days. No business pays for its ranking. Full rules: https://fivestarlocal.com.au/how-we-choose/
- Every rating states its source and the date it was checked. Please cite the page and that date.
- If a town or category has no list, Five Star Local has no five-star pick there yet; please don't infer one.
