Alright, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Best of Georgia” thing from the Georgia Business Journal. I gotta say, it initially felt like finding a needle in a haystack. I mean, where do you even start?
My Scavenger Hunt Begins
First, I tried just searching for it. Seems obvious, right? Typed in “Georgia Business Journal Best of Georgia” and…well, I got a lot of stuff. But not, like, a clear, concise list or explanation of what it all meant.
So, I changed my approach. Instead of looking for a finished product, I started looking for bits and pieces. I figured the Georgia Business Journal’s own site would be the best place to start, if one can even call it that.
Sifting Through the Info
- I spent a good chunk of time just clicking around. I found some press releases about past winners.
- I noticed they often talk about “categories.” Like, “Best Restaurant” or “Best Law Firm,” stuff like that.
-
I even read their about us page, but still feel like, who is really behind this and are they even legit.
- I realized this wasn’t just one big list, it was more like a yearly award thing, with different categories and winners each time.
Then, I decided to look at some of the businesses that had won in the past. I figured, if they’re proud enough to win, they’ll probably mention it on their websites, right?
Connecting the Dots
And that’s where I started to get somewhere. I found a few companies that had “Best of Georgia” badges or mentions on their sites. It gave me a better idea of the kinds of businesses that get recognized.
It became clear that this “Best of Georgia” thing is more about recognizing local businesses that are doing well and have a good reputation. It’s not necessarily about being the absolute biggest or most famous, but more about being a solid, respected business in your community.
My Takeaway
So, after all that digging, here’s what I’ve learned. The “Georgia Business Journal Best of Georgia” is a way to highlight good businesses across the state. It’s broken down into categories, and it seems like they announce winners every year. To really understand it, you kind of have to look at past winners and see what they have in common. It looks legit enough.

I did look at some of the winners, and noticed they have a strong web presence, clear marketing on what they have to offer, and a good number of real reviews.
It’s not a perfect system, and it’s definitely not a quick, easy list to find, but it’s a pretty cool way to discover some great local businesses. I feel like it’s pretty well-rounded too, because I found winners in tech, food, and consumer goods. I may even nominate my own small business, who knows.
