About Nearest Rated
Nearest Rated lists businesses suburb by suburb in the south-east, ordered by the number of Google reviews: the busiest, best-known plumber in Thornbury, the most reviewed cafe in Marrickville.
A business is placed in a suburb only when its own published address names it. Many reviews show a business is busy and well known, not that it is right for you. Lists are refreshed on the first of each month.
Nearest Rated ranks the businesses of each suburb in New South Wales, the ACT and Victoria by how many Google reviews they have, among those rated 4.0 or better.
Nearest Rated is run by the Nearest Rated team and has been publishing since October 2026. It lists 13,773 businesses in 1,402 lists, with figures as of October 2026.
Ratings, review counts and opening hours come from Google Business Profiles. The year a business started, and the jobs it does, come from its own website.
