Method

How this page is made

Every business of the index's kind with a website of its own is scanned the same way, about once a month, and every scan is kept. This page takes the latest scan of each site before October 2026 ended, so a site fixed in the following month shows up in the following month's page, not here. A past month does not change. The assistant tables use the latest answer per business and question before the month ended. Methodology · the live index · all cities.
