San Diego, CA – 07/01/2009


The San Diego Better Business Bureau has joined other BBBs throughout North America and now uses a revised version of the BBB Reliability Reports™ that feature a rating. Rather than the previous system of either “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory”, the new process generates a more comprehensive letter grade scale (A+ through F). As a result of the new ratings system, Golden State Web Solutions's rating is currently: A+
