How matching works
- You open a work order. Service, metro, urgency, and a plain description of the job.
- The board ranks the metro. Listings and paying members in your state are scored by the published formula; businesses in your city rank ahead of the wider state.
- You get up to three matches. Names, ratings, and badges up front. Unclaimed listings are labelled Unclaimed; a Verified badge means a license and insurance check passed. Your job is sent only to paying member businesses among your matches: a member that receives it may reply to you directly, and if no paying member matches, no reply may come.
- You hire directly. No fee to you, no contract with us. The agreement is between you and the business.

Highest ranked on the board
Top listings directory-wide under the published formula. Unclaimed listings score zero on verification, so this list runs on review strength; a verified member can outrank it. That trade-off is deliberate and explained on the rankings page.
