Evaluating an organization is not as simple as checking out their BBB rating. Weve found companies with an A+ BBB rating, though at the same time being under a state and federal government investigation. So it is necessary to consider several variables.

If we examine the BBB by itself, we not only look at a providers score. We check out the number of issues. the time span that those grievances occurred, the type of criticisms, and whether the grievances were resolved.

One gold company we reviewed has an A+ BBB rating, but 56 complaints. At the same time another A+ rated agency has absolutely no complaints. The reason the original company sustained an A+ rating is most likely a result of the fact that all of the 56 complaints were solved. But at the same time, it is pretty clear which firm you d be better off working with. Though it is nice that the initial company dealt with their problems, it is not especially comforting to know that so many people needed to go to the BBB in order to get their issues dealt with. This could possibly indicate major customer service troubles. Perhaps they are merely concerned with grievances that are made public? Again, that is not a really good sign.

the BBB is not the sole source of our own evaluations and endorsements. We also depend on Trustlink. But Trustlink isnt perfect either. Several folks may feel free from danger by finding a firm has a 5 star rating with Trustlink. in our analysis, we found that one company obtained a 5 star standing based upon 300 customer reviews, whilst another firm had a 5 star rating built upon only 1 review. Even though both agencies maintain the highest rating Trustlink has to offer, there is still quite a difference.

Furthermore, our team turned to reviews from the Business Consumer Alliance (BCA). Yet again, this review body is not perfect either. The top score offered at the BCA is AAA. One agency has an AAA with 67 dissatisfactions and a pending lawsuit from the Santa Monica City Attorneys Office. Another firm has a B ranking without any testimonials. another has an A+ rating with absolutely no criticisms. Once again, it means we need to search deeper into the problems. Have they been cleared up?

Not only do we research these Third party review websites. and find the company with the best total rating on every one of them. We take into consideration the amount of years in business. After all, if an agency started last month and has no grievances, it doesnt necessarily mean they are terrific. When a provider has been around 10 years may have 1 or 2 problems, they may be a more favorable option.

Further sources include RipOffReport.com, Yelp, and Complaint Board. Although all of these enter into our recommendations, we cannot always fit every one of them into our review chart above. In that case we address these sites in more detail on our actual assessment page of each provider, which is also accessible in the outline.

Lastly, we research any prior or potential investigations, lawsuits and fines that the companies have dealt with.

As you can see, we go to great lengths to determine who qualifies, and who does not quite cut it. However, in the end, our evaluations and info are simply meant to be a guideline. Nothing can compare to your own analysis, and inevitably your own experience and gut feeling you get when you contact any one of these agencies directly.
