Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the moving companies category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the moving companies category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.
Use this list to shortlist two or three moving companies, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.
Licensing in South Carolina runs through the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR): the Residential Builders Commission for home work and the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial work. Before hiring anyone in Charleston, ask for the license or registration number and verify it in LLR's public licensee lookup; residential specialty trades (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) register with the Residential Builders Commission, so ask which one they hold. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.
