Across 52 Sectors, Scores Span 38.5 Points From Top to Bottom

In today's catalogue snapshot, the average company score across 52 ranked sectors spans 38.5 points, from a high of 71.4 in Photography to a low of 32.9 in the lowest-scoring sector.

The top of the table

Photography leads the 52 ranked sectors in today's catalogue snapshot with an average score of 71.4, based on 90 companies. Pest Control & Disinfection follows closely at 71.1, and Funeral & Memorial at 70.9.

The top six sectors are tightly bunched: Home Services averages 70.4, Accessories 68.9, and Kids & Family 68.7. The gap between the first and sixth sector is small compared with the full 38.5-point spread across all 52 sectors.

Sample sizes vary widely

The company counts behind these averages differ a great deal. Home Services is scored from 1,986 companies, Kids & Family from 161, Funeral & Memorial from 96, Photography from 90, Accessories from 68, and Pest Control & Disinfection from 52. Every sector in this snapshot includes at least 50 companies, which is the minimum set for a sector to be ranked.

A sector average built from 1,986 companies and one built from 52 companies are not the same kind of number, even when the scores sit close together. The sample size listed with each sector matters when comparing averages.

Where this sits against the platform

The platform-wide average score, across all ranked companies in today's snapshot, is 63.2. Every sector shown in the top six sits above that figure. The platform's overall reply rate is 38.2%, and 15.8% of companies on the platform carry a high churn-risk tier.

What this means

A sector average tells you where the bar sits, not how any one company inside it is doing. A company in a lower-scoring sector can still outscore the sector average by a wide margin, and the reverse is true in high-scoring sectors.

For a business reader comparing performance, it matters to check both the sector average and the sample size behind it before drawing conclusions about how competitive a market is.

How we measured

Scores come from CustomerEye's rule-based 0-100 scoring system applied to public review data, reflected in today's catalogue snapshot. Sector averages are calculated across all ranked companies in each sector, with a minimum of 50 companies required for a sector to appear in the ranking. This snapshot does not track movement over time and does not indicate why any sector or company scores as it does.

This analysis was drafted with AI from CustomerEye's own data and checked automatically against that data before publishing.
