Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Who says these are “The Local Best”?
YOU DID! Okay, maybe you personally didn’t, but a bunch of other people from Sioux Falls did. Here’s how it works:
- We conducted a highly controlled survey (more about the survey…)
- Over 2,100 Sioux Falls residents voted (more about the response…)
- The results were tallied and winners posted (more about qualification…)
Q. Why is this such a BIG DEAL?
Ever asked a friend, neighbor, co-worker or even a stranger for their advice on where to go? Ever flipped page after page of a phone book, wondering who you could trust? Ever get tired of making your decisions based on a mere guess? Now imagine if you had time to ask over two thousand people where to go every time you needed to make a decision. Sound impossible? Think again. That’s exactly what we’ve done for you. The Local Best helps you make better decisions in less time … that’s why this is such a big deal.
Q. I notice you have some polls on your website. Is this how you selected "The Local Best"?
No. We offer various "fun" polls on our website throughout the year that do little to guard against "ballot-box stuffing", "random selection" or other common voting issues. These fun polls may consist of voting for favorite sports players or events, but only places that were selected through our highly-controlled annual survey end up being categorized in The Local Best directory.
