Every business gets a profile
People vote, share, and follow the race here. Owners can claim their profile to take the reins.
This is how a locksmith appears in the competition: their national position, their standing in their own town, their vote count, and the buttons the public uses to back them or share the race.
Owners claim their profile to keep details accurate, post an update, and encourage happy customers to vote — but claiming a profile never changes the ranking. Only votes do.
How we keep it honest
A ranking is only worth something if people trust it. Here's where we stand.
One person, one vote
We take reasonable steps to keep voting fair: one legitimate vote per person, per business.
Votes can't be bought
Businesses cannot pay for votes or pay to sit higher in the table. There is no upgrade that moves you up.
The rank isn't for sale
The order of the leaderboard reflects public votes — nothing else decides who's on top.
Clearly labelled
If we ever introduce sponsored or promoted placements, they will always be marked as such — never disguised as a rank.
