How we ranked the top Osage 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 Osage, IA.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Osage:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 6 companies that offer moving services in the Osage area.

From these 6 companies, we analyzed a total of 860 reviews dating all the way back to February 2013.

We also reviewed a total of 2 state and federal moving licenses from these 6 companies and 30 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~0 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

This gave us a total of 2,908 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 288 Osage 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(like Horizon Movers and Climate Control Storage) vs older more established companies (like Action Moving & Storage, Inc.).
