How To Leave a Google Review

It’s difficult to beat the convenience of being able to view a company’s location, hours of operation, phone number, and reviews in one convenient location. That is most likely why Google reviews are one of the most popular and dependable sources of customer feedback on the internet. We are all familiar with the procedure because we are likely to go through the steps on a weekly, if not daily, basis: search Google, scroll through listings, look at star ratings, and read the top reviews, all before making even the most insignificant of decisions, such as which ice cream shop to visit. Unless they have excellent reviews, you’re more likely to move on and try to find something else that meets your needs. Because of Google reviews, businesses can gain a competitive advantage.

Now, apply the same process to your own company and to your own customers to see what happens. Receiving positive feedback establishes your credibility in the eyes of your customers. Consumers place as much trust in online reviews as they do in personal recommendations from family and friends, according to research. Positive reviews do more than just boost your credibility; they also help you outrank competitors in Google search and Google Maps, allowing more customers to find you and convert into new satisfied customers.
