Reviews and photos feed the visibility score above, but they aren't the ranking on their own — a highly-rated shop can still be hard to find.

Why you can trust this
Every ranking here comes from live Google Maps searches, run the same way I run them for paying clients: the phrase people actually type searched from Steamboat Springs itself, and the results recorded again every week — not a guess, and not a one-off look.

How this was measured
Rank and “leads” = where Google Maps actually placed a shop when we searched that phrase from Steamboat Springs. The visibility score turns that position into 0–100: first is 100, top three 80, top six 55, top ten 30, anything below that 10. We keep the first 20 results of each search.
Direction = that score now versus the oldest week we hold, up to thirteen weeks back. Ratings, reviews and photos are shown as context — they influence where Google places a shop, but they are not the ranking.
Sources: Google Maps results and business listings via DataForSEO — one live search per phrase per city, refreshed weekly.
