Best for roofing
Roofing is unusually exposed to storm-chaser scams, fly-by-night contractors who appear after a storm, collect deposits and disappear, which both hurts legitimate local roofers' credibility by association and makes review authenticity matter more here than in any other vertical in this network. Review software that verifies a real completed job before soliciting a review, and that surfaces licensing/insurance proof alongside reviews, directly counters this, the single most differentiated angle of the 10 verticals.
