✅ Notes for your Santa Ana page
- Because some Santa Ana/Orange County firms aggregate review volumes across the region, include a clearly visible note: “Review counts are for the Santa Ana/OC region and may vary by specific branch.”
- Highlight HomeShield’s large review volume (~1,200+) — strong trust anchor.
- For firms with somewhat less visible review counts (#4 & #5), emphasise their specialised strength (termite-only, quick local service) rather than just volume.
- Under the ranking table include a standard disclaimer: “Ratings and review counts as of Nov 2025; branch-level listings may vary.”
