Research
The team studies the submitted website and location, buyer questions, community rules, public factual sources, and claim boundaries.
Top3 is a Utah company led by Russell Thornton. Human contributors may support research and writing, but Russell is the named operator responsible for internal factual review, delivery standards, proof review, and corrections.

Top3 does not ask buyers to trust a black-box score or an anonymous posting network.
The team studies the submitted website and location, buyer questions, community rules, public factual sources, and claim boundaries.
People write and review useful participation. Managed work is not represented as an independent customer experience.
A reviewer checks public URLs, participation labels, screenshots, the exact AI question, visible rank, timestamps, and recheck.
Customers and community members can submit correction or takedown requests. Each request is attached to the run for action.
Businesses are increasingly evaluated inside AI answers before a buyer reaches their website. Top3 focuses on three exact buyer questions, accurate public evidence, and a result the customer can inspect before any service charge.
The initial run costs $0. A card is saved securely, but no subscription exists. The customer submits only the website and location; Top3 takes over the internal review and preparation. If Top3 later delivers a qualifying Top 3 recommendation, rechecks it, and sends the complete proof packet, the customer still chooses whether to continue at $497/month.
