How do you usually find the right mobile app developers near me or in your area?

Hi everyone, we’re a small team exploring mobile solutions and planning to turn a few of our ideas into real products. While searching for support, we often see suggestions for mobile app developers near me, but it’s not always clear how to judge who’s genuinely reliable. For those who’ve gone through this, what’s your approach do you trust local recommendations, check portfolios first, or focus more on long term collaboration potential?
