How I put the guides together

How Terris Recommends works

Every shortlist follows the same process, from a plumber list to an aesthetic clinic list. Only the weight on each factor changes with the trade.

  1. 1

    Real Singapore businesses

    I only list businesses that actually trade here, with an address or service area, a track record and the licences their trade needs.

  2. 2

    My own research

    I compare licensing, specialisation, published prices and real customer reviews side by side, rather than repeating what each business says about itself.

  3. 3

    Ordered for the job

    Each list is ordered for the need the guide covers, with my reason for every pick in its entry.

  4. 4

    Kept current

    I update guides as prices, reviews and businesses change, and every guide shows the date of its last update.

What I hold every guide to

Editorial standards

  • Researched, not copied. Every shortlist comes from my own research, not a recycled directory listing.
  • Real, operating businesses. Every business on a list trades in Singapore, with a presence and a track record I can check.
  • Real reviews only. I never invent reviews, ratings or credentials for any business.
  • Prices are indicative ranges. Singapore rates move, so use my figures as a guide and confirm the latest quote with each business.
  • Check before you commit. Look at licensing, credentials and reviews yourself before you book anyone.

About the author

Terris Web designer in Singapore

I've built websites and run marketing for Singapore businesses full-time since 2018, across 290+ projects. That work has me talking to business owners every week, reading their reviews and seeing which providers actually deliver. Terris Recommends is where I turn that legwork into plain shortlists.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is Terris Recommends?

Terris Recommends is my series of shortlists of the best local businesses and services in Singapore. I build websites and run marketing for Singapore businesses full time, and I research and write each guide myself, comparing real businesses on licensing, prices and reviews so you can shortlist one faster.

How does Terris choose and rank the businesses?

I start with businesses that actually operate in Singapore, then compare their licensing, track record, specialisation, prices and the pattern in their reviews. Each list is ordered for the specific job the guide covers.

How much do these local services cost in Singapore?

It depends on the service and the business, so every guide carries indicative Singapore price ranges. Prices move, so treat my figures as a starting point and confirm the current quote with the business before you commit.

How often are the guides updated?

I go back to each guide when prices, businesses or reviews change, and every guide shows the date I last updated it. The update log lists every guide by the date it was last reviewed.

What types of local businesses does Terris Recommends cover?

The guides cover 28+ categories of local service, including aesthetic and dental clinics, home services such as plumbing and aircon servicing, beauty and grooming, tuition and enrichment, maid and confinement care, legal and business services, real estate, pets and events.

Are all the businesses based in Singapore?

Yes. Every business in Terris Recommends operates in Singapore and serves the local market, so the shortlists, prices and licensing notes apply to people and businesses in Singapore.

Put your business on one of these guides

I research every business myself before it goes on a guide. Tell me about yours and I'll take a proper look.
