AU · Google vs Yelp divergence

Google loves them. Melbourne is less sure.

The 10 widest gaps, largest first. Minimum 100 Google and 20 Yelp reviews.

Google and Yelp ratings converted to the 0–100 scale. Δ is Google minus Yelp — the higher the number, the wider the gap between public enthusiasm and local assessment. One entry per name, so a chain's branches don't crowd the list.
