- VerificationWhether the listing has been independently confirmed by Cat Grooming Directory to actually offer cat grooming.
- Cat-specialist signalsCat-only premises, one-on-one appointments, quiet environment, CFMG certification, Fear Free training, experience with difficult or senior cats.

Sponsored / paid listings are explicitly excluded from the score calculation. Cat Grooming Directory does sell paid listing tiers, but those affect the badge displayed on a listing card, never the ranking on this page.
