The magic review number for better rankings

How many reviews do you need to start ranking locally? According to a recent study, 10 reviews should provide a ranking boost for local results.

The same study claims that more than 10 reviews “does not seem to significantly improve results,” but if you have a relatively new local store, 10 legitimate reviews can kickstart your climb.

Why Reviews Are Important 🔑

WHY REVIEWS?

Reviews matter. Pretty much EVERYONE (90% of people according to recent studies) checks the reviews before they work with a business (including me.) It makes businesses look more legit. It builds TRUST — hello, the 1st thing you learn about in marketing class — and they BOOST YOUR SEO so that you actually exist in the online sphere. BOOM.

WHEN A BUSINESS DOESN’T HAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF REVIEWS…

No one knows who they are...

No one TRUSTS that they are a real or reputable business.

And let's face it, no one wants to work with a business that they don't trust.

Survey says... 72% of customers say that positive reviews make them trust a local business more.

BAD REVIEWS ARE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

I’m serious, Harvard Business School just did a study on this — not only did they find that customer reviews directly correlate to whether a business will earn or lose money... but they also found that people trust bad reviews more than good ones.

That's why FOLLOW UP SPARK redirects negative reviews to be dealt with privately so they don't tarnish their public image. You'll literally be a hero.
