How we rank
Our rankings score each studio on published, weighted criteria (see each ranking page). We only score facts a business publishes on its own website or that we can verify in person, and we record the date we checked. We do rank our own studios, and we say so on every ranking page.
Corrections
If you run a studio listed here and something is inaccurate or out of date, contact us with a source and we’ll update it — usually within a week.
Editorial standards
