How We Choose

Businesses That Fit

We look for businesses in Oxnard that offer the service a category covers. Working contact details, a business website, real photos and enough information for a useful profile are part of the selection.

Ratings and Review Counts

Google ratings and review counts help determine the order within each category. The score gives more weight to a strong rating supported by many reviews than the same rating from only a handful. We use the same calculation across the directory: (review count × rating + 430) ÷ (review count + 100). Ties go to the business with more reviews.

What Customers Enjoy

Feedback from the past year helps us describe the dishes, service and details that customers appreciate. We look for repeated experiences and keep the descriptions specific to each business.
