The Power of Customer Reviews for Businesses

Google Business Reviews

“Prominence is also based on information that Google has about a business, from across the web, like links, articles, and directories. Google review count and review score factor into local search ranking. More reviews and positive ratings can improve your business’ local ranking. Your position in web results is also a factor, so search engine optimization (SEO) best practices apply.”
“Tip: There’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google. We do our best to keep the search algorithm details confidential, to make the ranking system as fair as possible for everyone” Google.

Responding to Negative Reviews:
A Crucial Business Strategy

Over half of consumers have posted negative reviews online, yet 58% report no response from businesses. This is concerning given that 82% of consumers expect a response. Key expectations from Australian consumers include:
  • Offer a Refund: Desired by 90% of respondents.
  • Correct the Issue: Emphasized by 88%.
  • Human Touch: 85% prefer personal rather than corporate responses.
  • Accountability: Important to 85%.
  • Provide Explanations: Sought after by 81%.
