Most Reviewed: where review volume concentrates

What the Most Reviewed row is

Most Reviewed is the fourth and last franchisee row on the Reputation board, and it is the only one of the four that ranks by volume instead of by score. Below Threshold, Declining Trend, and Top Performers all sort on the composite reputation number, worst or best first. Most Reviewed ignores the composite entirely as a sort key: it ranks franchisees by how many Google and Yelp reviews they have accumulated in total, highest first. A franchisee can sit at the top of this row with a mediocre composite, or be missing from it entirely with a great one, because the two questions, "how good is this office's public standing" and "how much evidence backs that standing up," are answered by different numbers.

Verinode reads this the same way it reads every other reputation number: from each franchisee's own connected Google Business Profile and Yelp listing, rolled up nightly into the network summary. HQ never opens the review text, a reviewer's identity, or anything from a franchisee's private business records to build this row. What lands here is the aggregate: a review count, a rating, a composite score, all figures a franchisee's own connected platforms already publish.

Where to find it

Open Reputation from the HQ sidebar at hq.verinode.ai/reputation. In the sidebar, Reputation sits in the Revenue group, alongside Accounts and Sales & Marketing.

Most Reviewed is the last row on the page:

1. Hero: network reputation
2. Network Review Response (appears once enough offices have registered review-response milestones)
3. Below Threshold
4. Declining Trend
5. Top Performers
6. Most Reviewed

A Download board slide button sits fixed in the top-right corner of the page. Most Reviewed is a natural row to include in that export whenever you want to show which offices have the deepest, most tested public track record, alongside the quality proof points in Top Performers.

What lands in the row

Every franchisee with reputation data is sorted by combined review count, Google plus Yelp added together, highest total first. The row shows up to eight tiles, and any franchisee whose combined count is zero is left off, so an office with a connected profile but no reviews yet on either platform does not clutter the row with a "0 reviews" tile. There is no composite-score floor and no minimum review count to qualify beyond that zero cutoff: unlike Top Performers, which requires a composite of 85 or higher and at least 10 combined reviews before a franchisee is eligible, Most Reviewed is purely a volume ranking. A franchisee with a large review count and a mediocre or even below-threshold composite score still earns its place at the top.

Because a small network can have fewer than eight franchisees with any review activity at all, the row can render with fewer than eight tiles even when the network has more members than that: the ranking only ever shows franchisees who have accumulated at least one review somewhere.

What each tile shows

Every tile in the row carries the same four pieces of information:

• Label: the combined review count, followed by "reviews," for example "212 reviews." This is Google review count plus Yelp review count added together, not either platform on its own.
• Headline: the franchisee's name.
• Sub-line: a rating line combining whatever platforms the franchisee has data for, for example "Google 4.6 (180). Yelp 4.4 (32)." A franchisee with a BBB rating on file also gets a trailing "BBB A+." If the franchisee only has one platform connected, the line shows just that one, for example "Google 4.7 (212)."
• Meta line: the composite score, rounded to the nearest whole number, followed by "composite," for example "79 composite." When no composite has been computed for that franchisee, this line is left blank rather than showing a placeholder.

Clicking any tile opens the same franchisee reputation detail slider used across all four rows on this page: the franchisee's composite to one decimal place against the network's peer comparison, a separate BBB panel, four peer-compared tiles for Google rating, Google review count, Yelp rating, and Yelp review count, and a scope switcher between Group, Regional, and National comparison. See Reputation: network review health at a glance for the full walkthrough of that slider, including how the Group comparison unlocks and why Regional and National aren't seeded yet for reputation metrics.

The segmented preview, explained

Where Below Threshold and Top Performers show a gauge marking the composite against the 70 and 85 thresholds, Most Reviewed shows a different visual: a two-color proportion bar splitting the franchisee's total review count between its two segments, Google's share and Yelp's share. The bar carries the platform's neutral copper accent rather than a red or green tone, because this row is not making a good-or-bad judgment the way the gauge does elsewhere on the page. The bar is a glanceable read on where a franchisee's volume is concentrated, a franchisee whose bar is almost entirely one color is drawing its whole public track record from a single platform, while a more even split means both listings are contributing meaningfully to the total already printed in the tile's label.

Why volume matters as its own lens, distinct from rating

The composite score that drives Below Threshold, Declining Trend, and Top Performers is a plain average of whatever platform ratings a franchisee has on file, each converted to a 0-100 scale. It does not discount for a thin sample: a franchisee with a single five-star Google review and a franchisee with hundreds of reviews averaging the same score would carry an identical composite, even though one of those numbers is far more durable evidence of how that office actually treats customers over time than the other. Rating tells you how customers who left a review felt. Volume tells you how many customers that read is actually built on, and how much confidence to put behind it.

This is exactly why Top Performers layers on its own combined-review floor of at least 10 reviews before a franchisee can qualify, so that a lucky handful of five-star reviews on a brand-new listing can't stand in for a genuine track record. Most Reviewed is the board's separate, standalone check on that same idea, decoupled from any score threshold: it surfaces which offices have built up the deepest evidence base regardless of where their composite currently sits. A high composite paired with a high review count is a durable signal worth trusting and worth pulling into a board update. A high composite paired with a thin review count is fragile, and could move sharply the next time a handful of new reviews land. A franchisee can appear in both Most Reviewed and Top Performers at once, that combination, strong volume and strong score together, is the clearest sign of a genuinely well-run office rather than a new listing on a hot streak.

Sizing and framing, compared to the other rows

Most Reviewed tiles render at the platform's standard size and framing, the same calm, informational weight as Top Performers, not the larger, attention-drawing "action" framing used on Below Threshold and Declining Trend. That distinction is deliberate: Below Threshold and Declining Trend are worklists, offices that need a conversation. Most Reviewed, like Top Performers, is a reference row, here to answer a "how much evidence is behind this" question rather than to flag something that needs fixing.

Empty state

Until at least one franchisee in the network has a review on either platform, the row reads, verbatim:

Review counts will appear as franchisees accumulate Google / Yelp activity.

This is the expected state for a network that has not yet connected review platforms, or one where connected profiles genuinely have no reviews on file yet. It is not an error, and there is no manual refresh to force it: a franchisee moves into the row the first night its combined review count clears zero during the nightly rollup.

How to use this row

1. 1Scan left to right. The leftmost tile has the deepest combined review history in your network right now.
2. 2Read the label as evidence strength, not a quality score. A large number here means a lot of customers have weighed in, not that they all weighed in favorably, check the rating line and the meta composite for that.
3. 3Look at the segmented bar to see whether a franchisee's volume is concentrated on one platform or spread across both. A franchisee leaning entirely on one listing has a narrower public footprint than the total review count alone suggests.
4. 4Cross-check a heavily reviewed franchisee against Top Performers, Below Threshold, and Declining Trend before deciding what its volume means. High volume plus a strong, stable composite is the strongest proof point on the whole board. High volume plus a slipping composite deserves more attention than a low-volume slip, precisely because more customers are behind the signal.
5. 5Pull a franchisee that is strong on both volume and composite into a board slide or a network training conversation as the model for building a durable public reputation, not just a good month.
