WHAT ARE REVIEWS DOING TO YOUR BUSINESS?
Online reviews can significantly impact a company's reputation, customer trust, and ultimately its success. Consumers often rely on reviews to make informed decisions about products or services. Positive reviews can boost a business's credibility and attract new customers, while negative reviews can have the opposite effect...
Google is a significant platform for reviews, with 79% of consumers trusting online reviews as much as personal recommendations from friends and family.
Consumer Trust: According to a brightLocal survey, 93% of consumers read online reviews to determine the quality of a business.

92% of consumers hesitate to make a purchase if there are no customer reviews.

Responding to Reviews: Businesses that respond to at least 25% of their online reviews experience 35% more revenue, according to a Harvard Business Review study.
Negative Reviews: 86% of consumers will hesitate to purchase from a business that has negative online reviews.
However, 40% of consumers believe that negative reviews make a business more trustworthy, as long as the company responds appropriately.
Businesses with more than 100 reviews on Google receive 3.3 times more clicks to their website than those with fewer reviews
