How we pick
The bar
- A Texas record matched to the business: the licence from the state body that issues it, or, where Texas licenses nothing, the Texas Comptroller record plus the company's own completed work.
- At least 4.5 stars from at least 10 Google reviews, read by the business's Maps place ID on the check date.
- An address inside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, named city by city.
- We leave out any business connected to our publisher's client work or sales outreach, and the numbered order comes only from our published method.
What we read
For each business we read its Texas record from the body that issues it, its Google listing and up to 200 of its newest Google reviews, and its own site: the work, cases or projects it documents and what it says it focuses on. For each category we also record which businesses ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode name in Dallas-Fort Worth, and how they describe them.
Our call
We make a call on every list: No. 1 is our first call for most people, and each pick after it is our next. Our call weighs each rating by the number of reviews behind it, so a perfect score from a few customers does not beat a strong score from hundreds: 4.9 stars from 500 Google reviews ranks above 5.0 from 20.
