Diamond Certified utilizes research-grade methodology to stand apart from paid advertising and crowdsourced reviews.

PETALUMA, Calif., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American Ratings Corporation, the creator of Diamond Certified Resource, the source for consumers who love quality local companies, has published a new article on diamondcertified.org titled, "Paid Advertising vs. Earned Certifications: The Diamond Certified Difference." The piece explains how Diamond Certified differs from advertising-funded review platforms by using verified customer surveys, rigorous qualification standards, credentials checks and ongoing performance monitoring.

All organizations that certify local companies rely on one or more funding sources: advertising, donations, company-paid subscriptions or consumer-paid subscriptions. They use these funds to create methodology, conduct operations, verify information, analyze results, deny or award certifications and monitor the performance of each certified company. Some spend even more on customer satisfaction surveys and collection of original research data.

Professional ethics matter most, starting with ratings methodology.

While all certifying organizations require funding, the highly ethical ones don't allow their funding sources to bias the results. In the case of 25-year-old American Ratings Corporation, creator of Diamond Certified Resource, high ethics and accuracy start with its methodology creation, which includes funding customer satisfaction surveys and collection of original research data. Any local company can apply for the certification and pay a small rating fee, whether they pass or fail. The Diamond Certified bar is set high, though. Only companies that achieve a customer satisfaction rating of 90 or higher on a 100-point scale for Highest in Quality and Helpful Expertise and pass all required credentials checks earn Diamond Certified. Companies that fall short of these high standards don't earn Diamond Certified, regardless of how much they'd be willing to pay.

Advertising funds crowdsourced review sites.

This isn't inherently a bad thing, but it does mean these sites must generate mass traffic and monetize company owners' interest to fund their business. To gain a high volume of reviews and a large number of companies, they use review intake methods that allow non-customers to post reviews and company owners to seed and cherry-pick only satisfied customers for review solicitations. Unfortunately, they're plagued by fake and cherry-picked reviews, which has resulted in massive star score inflation. A recent study by SEO Bandwagon concludes that two-thirds of rated Google business profiles hold at least a 4.5 star rating, with plumbers and roofers scoring an average 4.9 stars. Since most local companies have a star rating score that used to be held only by the top rated, consumers are forced to wade through reviews and see if they can purge fake and misleading ones in their minds.

Diamond Certified Resource's professional ethics, ratings methodology and experienced team

Having started their customer satisfaction research in the early 1990s, the founders of Diamond Certified are pioneers in creating certifications for local companies based on customer satisfaction surveys. The Diamond Certified Research Team is also deeply experienced in ratings and research, with most managers having served on the team for more than two decades. Team members are committed to maintaining high ethical standards and producing highly accurate company ratings and research. Founder/CEO Greg Louie describes their core principle as simple but powerful. "No company is awarded Diamond Certified unless it truly earns it," he says. "Also, companies must maintain their Highest in Quality and Helpful Expertise status or we take it from them."

What is Diamond Certified?

Created by American Ratings Corporation in 2001, the Diamond Certified Research Team rates local companies (mostly contractors and service companies) on customer satisfaction, quality and Helpful Expertise®. To earn Diamond Certified, companies must apply and pay a small rating fee, pass or fail. Then the Diamond Certified Research Team puts the company through a rigorous 12-step rating process, which includes in-depth customer satisfaction surveys and credentials verification.

The rating fee does not influence the results. In fact, most companies can't qualify.

The Diamond Certified Research Team does not use any unverified online reviews. It conducts independent, research-grade ratings and research of only verified customers. Here's a simple summary of its rating process:

- A local company applies for Diamond Certified. The Diamond Certified Research Team gathers a customer list of all past customers during the previous year or a random sample of 400 customers for larger companies. Researchers conduct telephone and email surveys of these customers at random and verify that each respondent is an actual customer before proceeding. This process prevents surveying fake or cherry-picked customers.

- During these live telephone interviews, surveyed customers evaluate the company's work quality, whether the company provided Helpful Expertise and whether the client would use the company again. In addition to collecting customers' scores for the company, researchers record verbatim responses to open-ended questions.

- The Diamond Certified Research Team calculates an overall customer satisfaction rating on a 100-point scale for Highest in Quality and Helpful Expertise and verifies the company's credentials. Only companies that achieve a customer satisfaction rating of 90 or higher on a 100-point scale for Highest in Quality and Helpful Expertise and pass all required credentials checks earn Diamond Certified. The team then calculates a Star Equivalent Score for each verified customer rating by weighting a Quality score on a scale of 1 to 10, a YES/NO Loyalty (intent to return) score and a YES/NO Helpful Expertise score.

- The team produces a bound, printed report (25-30 pages) that includes verification of applicable state licenses and confirmation of required general liability and workers' compensation insurance coverage.

- Companies that meet all of Diamond Certified's high standards are awarded the prestigious Diamond Certified, and their complete ratings and research report is posted to their Diamond Certified Company Report at www.diamondcertified.org.

- The Diamond Certified Research Team then monitors each Diamond Certified company's performance and produces ongoing ratings and research. Each Diamond Certified Company Report is the most accurate and deeply researched report available anywhere on that company. It includes ratings, verbatim survey responses, researched articles, a capabilities table, charts, videos, photos, and expert profiles and advice.

"Companies that maintain their Diamond Certified status also agree to additional levels of oversight," says Director of Ratings David Pak. "For example, they must participate in ongoing verified customer surveys and research interviews, which are published on their Diamond Certified Company Report at diamondcertified.org."

"We also track voluntary customer feedback between survey periods," adds Greg Louie. "A company may face suspension or termination if that feedback reveals a concerning pattern of business practices, even if its overall survey score remains high."

Consumers who work with a Diamond Certified company also receive mediation support and are backed by the Diamond Certified Performance Guarantee for up to $1,000.

The Diamond Certified Difference

Diamond Certified gives consumers a researched basis for choosing a quality local company: verified customer surveys, rigorous qualification standards, credentials verification, in-depth company-specific research, and ongoing performance ratings and monitoring. Companies can't buy their way into Diamond Certified. They must earn it and keep earning it to retain it.

For consumers, that means greater confidence when choosing a high-quality local company. The ratings and research behind each Diamond Certified company are available for free at www.diamondcertified.org, so consumers can examine the ratings, read customers' verbatim responses, explore the in-depth research and make an informed choice.

It's easy to find top rated companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Other Areas on Diamond Certified Resource.

Music in the streets adds to the fall atmosphere, while on Saturday from 11 a.m -2 p.m, visitors can also learn the iconic moves to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" during free, special dance instruction sessions led by D3 Stepper, creating a playful celebration for anyone who wants to join in the famous zombie moves. Bring the kids to trick-or-treat in participating stores.

"Boo in the Bottoms is when we kick off Halloween Kansas City-style," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, Queen of Haunts and spokesperson for the district. "Come down during the day and get into some good trouble. Hunt for vintage treasures, learn the 'Thriller' dance or watch the dancers, and get your picture with our haunt characters before they go to work. Then Friday night, things take a darker turn. Beast and Edge of Hell open their doors for the season, and after that, you're on your own. With only 13 October nights to get your haunt fix, maybe 13 isn't unlucky after all. It's time to stir the cauldron, make some memories, and find out why generations of Kansas Citians keep coming back to get scared."

The same streets where shoppers searched for treasures become the gateway to two of Kansas City's legendary haunted attractions, turning the district from vintage to vampires, from treats to terrors, and from shopping destination to Halloween headquarters.

KALAMAZOO, Mich., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Drive for Life Foundation celebrated 44 years of giving in a big way by raising $1.5 million for charity during its Drive for Life Foundation Gala on Thursday, September 24th at the Radisson Plaza Hotel at Kalamazoo Center.

The event brought together business leaders, sponsors, community members and special guests for an evening dedicated to supporting the American Cancer Society and local charitable organizations that provide critical resources and services throughout the community.

"The success of this year's Gala belongs to the entire community," said Aaron Zeigler, president of Zeigler Auto Group and a presenting sponsor of the Drive for Life Foundation Gala.

"We are grateful to every sponsor, donor, volunteer and guest who helped make it possible. For 44 years, this event has demonstrated the generosity of West Michigan, and tonight was another powerful example of that spirit."

The evening featured MSU football coach Pat Fitzgerald as the special guest speaker and Portage native and Zeigler-sponsored NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar as a celebrity guest.

Fitzgerald, a former standout linebacker at Northwestern and two-time consensus All-American, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008. Before becoming head football coach for the MSU Spartans, Fitzgerald spent 17 seasons as Northwestern's head coach, compiling 110 victories, the most in school history. He led the Wildcats to 10 bowl appearances, two Big Ten West Division titles and five AP Top 25 finishes.

Hocevar, who was born and raised in Portage, began racing at age seven and went on to compete full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series beginning in 2024. He earned his first Cup Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway in April 2026.

Guests at the Gala enjoyed a social cocktail hour, silent auction, live auction and other activities throughout the evening, all supporting the Foundation's charitable mission.

The 44th Annual Drive for Life Foundation Gala was presented by Zeigler Auto Group, Greenleaf Trust, Brown & Brown Dealer Services, Cox Automotive and Huntington National Bank, with additional support from sponsors and community partners.

About the Drive for Life Foundation Gala

For more than four decades, the Drive for Life Gala has brought together business leaders, sponsors and community members for an extraordinary night of giving.

The event debuted in 1982 with a starting ticket price of just $1, raising less than $20,000 for the American Cancer Society. Today, the Drive for Life Gala benefits the American Cancer Society and other local charities, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
