Iowa’s Top Rated Local® Businesses: 2021

Small businesses make up 99% of businesses in the U.S., and we’re here to celebrate them!

Best known for its corn — Iowa is a wonderful state to live in and visit. Home of John Wayne, Shawn Johnson and the birthplace of sliced bread, the Hawkeye State is also home to a number of truly incredible local businesses — from acupuncturists to window cleaners — that work to serve their communities and make the world a better place.

Top Rated Local® is here to recognize the many local businesses that work to make Iowa such a phenomenal place to live and visit. There are so many amazing businesses that serve the people of Iowa, but only the best of the best have made it on our list of Top Rated Local award winners for 2021. Today, we’re ecstatic to announce our 2021 award winners in Iowa.

To calculate our 2021 winners, we’ve looked at each business’s Rating Score™, which is determined by the total number of verified review sites the business is listed on, the total number of ratings/reviews the business has on those review sites and the business’s average overall star rating. The more review sites a business is listed on, the more reviews or ratings a business has and the higher the average star rating, the higher the Rating Score will be, with the highest being 100.00.

There are a large number of businesses that work hard to serve the people of Iowa and provide them with everything they need to thrive, and this year, we’ve identified 386 total businesses that have made the cut. These one-of-a-kind, local businesses have clearly made an impact on the customers and clients they serve each and every day, as evidenced by their impressive average Rating Score of 96.20 and average star rating of 4.87. For comparison, businesses across Top Rated Local average a 68.67 Rating Score and a 4.20 star rating. These businesses are truly the best of the best.

There are so many stand-out businesses in Iowa that deserve to be recognized for their success, but we’re especially excited to give a shoutout to the number one award-winner in Iowa for 2021 — Trixies. A salon that pledges to leave an impact on their community, Trixies is dedicated to providing salon and spa guests a personalized and five-star experience.
