How does Starworks rank hardware stores nationally?
To rank hardware stores across Australia, Starworks combines each business's Google star rating, its review volume, and whether customers can reach it by website and phone. Volume is weighted because it shows how much evidence stands behind a rating, so a 4.9-star hardware store with 200 reviews ranks above a 5-star one with 5 reviews. Placement cannot be bought. For scale, the median rating across the 498 highest-rated hardware stores in Australia is 5.0 stars from a median of 20 reviews.
Where can I find the best hardware stores in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for hardware stores in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my hardware store business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the hardware store category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of hardware stores in Australia lists the top 50 of the 498 highest-rated hardware stores; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
