Review Volume

How your business stacks up in terms of review volume can give you clear direction of the next steps that need to be taken. Leading your competitors in review quantity? Continue asking customers for reviews but make sure you take the time to listen and understand their needs. Work on increasing the average rating and keep the reviews coming!

Lagging behind competitors review totals? Consider ways to increase your review requests being sent and optimize for performance. For instance try sending requests with SMS rather than just email. Make sure to ask ALL customers to leave a review. Automate as much of the process as possible by leaning into an integration or use the Client Staff Form to get customers added the platform.

Relative Ratings

Ratings are important conversion opportunities for consumers looking at your business versus competitors. The key is to be in the ballpark. Data shows that a perfect 5.0 star rating isn't believable. And less than 4.0 won't even get you considered. Deliver a great customer experience and your star rating should be in the ideal range of 4.0-4.7 .

Don't forget to respond to negative reviews. By providing a reasonable and customer-focused response can sometimes lead to a customer changing their negative rating to positive.

Relative Recency

Recency is the number of days since your last review. If consumers see others generating new reviews, while your most recent review is from 3 years ago you will lose out on potential business. It's best to consistently ask customers to leave reviews over time and not all at once a couple times per year. Studies show that businesses without a review in the last 3 months are less likely to convert customers.
