Frequently asked questions
How did you rank the best cat groomers in St. John's?
Each groomer in our St. John's directory was scored against an objective rubric covering five signals: average rating weighted by review volume (a 4.9-star groomer with 800 reviews outranks a 5.0-star groomer with 4 reviews), verification status, cat-specialist features like cat-only premises or one-on-one appointments, breed-specialty depth, and listing completeness (description + photo). Paid sponsorship is explicitly excluded from the ranking.
How often is the ranking refreshed?
Daily — when a groomer adds reviews, gets verified, or expands their service set, their score moves automatically. The page itself revalidates daily, so the order you see reflects this week's data.
Are these groomers paying to be listed here?
No. The ranking on this page is editorial — no groomer pays to appear, and paid sponsorship is excluded from the score. Cat Grooming Directory does offer paid listing tiers for groomers, but those affect the badge shown on a listing card, never the ranking position on this page or anywhere else.
What if I don't see my favourite St. John's groomer here?
The top 8 are the highest-scoring of 5 active listings in St. John's. Your favourite groomer might be on the full city directory at /canada/newfoundland-and-labrador/st-johns — or they might not be listed yet. The fastest path is for the groomer to claim or create their Cat Grooming Directory listing.
