Does Anyone Look At Your Google Reviews

3 of 7

Why Google Reviews Matter

• They raise the profile of your business online. People are more likely to visit your website or your business if they see good reviews.

• They are beneficial for search engine optimisation. If Google sees that you have lots of good reviews, your website will be ranked higher in search engine results.

• The star rating based on your average rating appears under your company name in your Google Business Profile. If you have 4 or 5 stars, this will result in more people clicking on your business listing.

• They allow you to receive essential feedback on your company. Respond to any negative reviews promptly, politely and with empathy.

• You need a lot of positive reviews to lessen the impact on your google ranking of a single negative review

• Good reviews improve brand trust. People trust Google, so they trust reviews found on your Google Business Profile.
