Philadelphia Local Service Provider Statistics
Philadelphia local service provider statistics are the named counts of every business listed in NovaBizBook's Philadelphia directory. Each number on this page is computed live from the directory, so the total always matches the listings currently on the platform.
Which categories have the most Philadelphia providers?
Categories are ranked by their share of the 3,130 listed providers. The exact counts update with the directory.

Partner vs directory providers
Every listing falls into one of two buckets. Partner providers (0) have a booking page and take appointments online directly. Directory providers (3,130) are listed so you can find them, and NovaBizBook reaches them on your behalf through the request flow to confirm an appointment. Both are included in the total and in the category counts above.

How these statistics are produced
Every number is a live count over the listings table, filtered to businesses located in Philadelphia with a public directory listing. The total is the count of all listed providers; the category table groups them by service vertical. Partner and directory counts split the same total, so the two buckets add back to 3,130. Nothing on this page is hand-edited or estimated.
