How we picked the best Widnes Freight Forwarding Companies

We started with a dataset of 3 Widnes freight forwarding companies we could find via Google Maps and narrowed it down to the best 2.

To do this we removed any company that:

• Had no website
• Had no reviews
• Had an average review score below 2.0

At this point if we had 17 or fewer forwarders we listed all of them.

For cities where we were left with more than 17 forwarders we made further revisions by either increasing the required review score (e.g. going from a minimum of 2.0 to 4.0) and/or increasing the minimum number of required reviews (e.g. going from at least 1 review to at least 10).

Note we only used review data from Google Maps and not any other third-party websites.
