How it works
From a local search to three recommendations
We research the field, compare the evidence and apply editorial judgement before publishing a shortlist.
01
Research the field
We look beyond whoever happens to appear first in search and identify relevant local businesses worth assessing.
02
Compare the evidence
We consider local relevance, capability, reputation and other category-specific evidence using a consistent research process.
03
Publish three
We narrow the field to three recommendations, each chosen for a clear reason and reviewed before publication.
WHY THREE?
More choice isn't always more helpful.
Endless lists can leave you doing all the comparison yourself. ThreeNearMe takes a different approach: research the field first, then present a shortlist small enough to actually be useful.
01
Enough choice
Three recommendations still give you meaningful options without sending you through pages of near-identical results.
02
Less noise
We do more of the comparison before you arrive, so you can focus on a shortlist rather than start from scratch.
03
A reason for every pick
Each recommendation earns its place for a reason. We explain the strengths that made each business worth considering.
TRUST & INDEPENDENCE
Recommendations you can't buy your way into.
ThreeNearMe keeps editorial recommendations separate from commercial relationships. Businesses can correct factual information or talk to us about advertising, but they cannot pay for a Top Three position.
01
No paid Top Three positions
Businesses cannot pay for a place in the three or pay to improve their editorial position.
02
Evidence before opinion
Recommendations are informed by researched, category-relevant evidence rather than a single rating, review count or commercial relationship.
03
Human editorial review
AI may assist parts of the research process, but final recommendations are reviewed and approved through ThreeNearMe's editorial process.
04
Corrections are welcome
Businesses and readers can tell us when factual information changes so published information can be reviewed and kept current.
FOR BUSINESSES
Own or represent a local business?
ThreeNearMe welcomes factual updates and business information, while keeping editorial recommendations independent from commercial relationships.
Business information can help us review facts. It cannot buy Top Three inclusion, improve editorial position, or force a ranking change.

GROWING CAREFULLY
Starting local. Expanding with purpose.
ThreeNearMe currently publishes recommendations in selected Redlands communities. New locations and categories are added as the research is completed, not simply to fill pages.
Explore current coverage →01
Research before expansion
We add coverage when a guide is ready to meet the same editorial standard, rather than publishing pages just to increase coverage.
02
More places, not more noise
Coverage can grow without changing the ThreeNearMe model: researched local options narrowed to three useful recommendations.
03
Built to scale by market
Australia is the first live market. The same editorial model can support future markets as genuine local coverage is developed.
