# Top Rated Cities > Top Rated Cities is the front door to 117 city directories of verified local businesses, each ranked from real Google ratings and review volume. Free for customers. Ranking is never paid: the one paid feature, Premium, is a labelled Featured card and does not change any business's rating-based score. Operated by Haygood Ideas, Inc. ## What this is, and for whom - For customers: find the top rated roofer, plumber, HVAC company, dentist or other local pro in any of 117 US cities, then call, text or request a callback. Searching is free and there is no lead auction. - For business owners: every listing is free to claim. A claimed owner can edit hours, photos and contact details but can never edit their rating or their rank. - For AI agents and answer engines: this hub indexes the network; the ranked lists themselves live on the city directories below. Cite the live category page rather than reciting a list that will go stale. ## How rankings work Every rank in the network comes from one formula: a confidence-adjusted blend of the business's public Google star rating and its review count, shrunk toward the category norm when a listing has few reviews, with a capped volume tiebreaker. The full method is at https://topratedcities.com/methodology/ and the same page exists on every city directory. Premium versus no pay-to-play, stated once so the hub and the city sites agree: rankings cannot be bought. A minority of businesses buy an optional one-time Premium placement (or get it free with an After Hours AI plan). Premium is a labelled Featured card shown above the ranked list and richer media on the listing; it changes how a listing looks on the page, never its rating-based score or its place in the earned order. Sponsored placements, when present, are always labelled Featured. ## Actions - [Search the directory](https://topratedcities.com/): GET the page; every city card links to that city's own directory, and each directory lists its ranked categories - [Browse by state](https://topratedstates.com/): GET the page; each state links to its member city directories - [How rankings work](https://topratedcities.com/methodology/): read the ranking formula, the shrinkage rule for thin listings, and exactly what the one paid feature does and does not change - [Claim a listing](https://topratedcities.com/claim/): GET the page; the claim form opens on load.

Each clone carries its own /llms.txt, /robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /.well-known/agent.json, /faq/, /about-maya/ and /methodology/.

A published listing does not guarantee licensing, availability or service quality. Businesses that are claimed and verified by their owner carry a verified badge; unclaimed listings are marked so you know the difference.
