Frequently Asked Questions
How do you rank the best cities for Financial planner businesses?
We use a weighted opportunity score based on market demand, local competition quality, and the share of businesses lacking a website.
Why does percentage without website matter?
A high percentage of businesses without websites often indicates a weaker digital market, which can be an opportunity for a better-run operator.
