Brand Reputation

TrustRank is ProCloser.ai's composite scoring system built from three real, sourced signals, weighted equally: verified Google Business Profile review data, the firm's market position within its category (AUM, deal volume, revenue, or managed properties, each measured against the highest value in that same category), and domain authority. It does not include AI search mention frequency or Clutch-sourced data, neither of which ProCloser measures for this directory listing.
