Why ratings and review counts differ
Platforms use different collection, moderation, and recommendation systems. Yelp states that its automated recommendation software evaluates reviews using signals related to quality, reliability, usefulness, user activity, possible solicitation, and conflicts of interest. Reviews that Yelp does not currently recommend remain accessible on Yelp but do not affect its displayed star rating or review count.
Because each platform applies different rules and may represent a different entity, ratings should not be combined or compared without identifying the platform, profile subject, and date checked.
