How we ranked the top Michigan movers
Why you should trust us
We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Michigan.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Michigan:
Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 409 companies that offer moving services in the Michigan area.
From these 409 companies, we analyzed a total of 49,564 reviews dating all the way back to October 2007.
We also reviewed a total of 3 state and federal moving licenses from these 409 companies and 1,358 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~49,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 122,197 data points to compute individual company scores.
Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 17,845 Detroit moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.
Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
