“To find the best answering services for small businesses, we considered over 25 of the leading services in the space and narrowed it down to 15, which we then evaluated across five key categories and 27 different metrics. Our ratings consider factors such as transparent pricing, features, service quality and inclusions, and access to customer support and ratings. All ratings are determined solely by our editorial team.”
