Services · Google reviews
Before someone calls a business they've never used, they read what other people said. Reviews are the closest thing to word of mouth online, and they affect both whether customers choose you and whether Google shows you. The businesses with steady, recent reviews aren't lucky. They ask, every time.
01
In BrightLocal's 2026 survey, 85% of consumers said they're more likely to use a business after reading positive reviews, and 31% will only use businesses rated 4.5 stars or higher.
02
74% of consumers look for reviews written in the last three months. A great rating from years ago doesn't reassure today's customer.
03
Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking, and replying shows you value your customers' feedback.

of consumers are more likely to use a business that replies to all of its reviews, and half are put off by generic, templated replies. Replying personally is one of the easiest wins in local marketing.Source: BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026 (1,002 US adults, Feb 2026)

They influence whether customers trust you enough to call, and Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking.
No. Buying reviews or offering rewards for them breaks Google's policies, and the FTC prohibits fake and incentivized reviews. It can get reviews removed or your profile penalized. We only use honest, policy-safe methods.
No. Selectively asking only customers you expect to leave positive reviews, sometimes called review gating, goes against Google's policies. Ask everyone, and respond well to the occasional bad one.
Only if it breaks Google's policies, such as spam, fake reviews or off-topic content. Otherwise, the best response is a calm, professional reply and a steady stream of new reviews.
There's no magic number. What matters is a strong rating, a steady flow of recent reviews and doing better than the businesses you compete with in your area.
