Methodology: scored October 01, 2026 on public listings. The rubric — every point a verifiable fact: working website 30 · own domain 10 · https 5 · social channels 10 each (up to 3) · phone 10 · address 5 · hours 5 · email 5 (max 100). Positions are ordinal 1..N; equal scores order by a published cascade (channel count → own domain → hours → email → https → name). Presence facts only — we publish no engagement or follower data. Independents only; chains excluded. Listed in error, or want your business removed or re-checked? Email xavier@mclarenvisuals.studio and it happens same-day. Past editions.
