Emergency lists move 10 points of the CR Score from reputation to availability: 25% and 20%. Availability credits 24/7 hours, same-day service, weekend hours and weekly open hours. 24/7 plumbers are listed first, then same-day, then the rest; ranks follow that order. Paid placement never changes a rank.
Paid placement never changes a rank or score. Featured businesses are paid, labelled, limited to 3 and shown above the ranking, outside it.
