As we enter 2023, Google reviews have become an increasingly crucial factor in the success of businesses. With Google Maps being a primary source of information for many customers, having positive reviews can make or break a company's reputation. 

Do you want to run a successful business? You need to know how to acquire customers. What will make them come to you on their own? Positive Google Maps reviews. Who gives reviews on platforms owned by Google? Buyers.

Put yourself in your customer’s shoes for a moment. You want to buy goods or use a specific service. Open your web browser and do some quick research. Find a company that can meet your needs. Go to the website, read the detailed information. Before you buy a product or reach for the phone to set up an appointment, you want to make sure you’re dealing with a reliable contractor. What do you do?

Feedback management is important for many reasons. First and foremost, it helps increase your rating, which for buyers is an indicator of your trustworthiness. Companies with five star ratings are considered trustworthy from the very beginning. A rating below 4 stars, on the other hand, can cause some anxiety among potential buyers.

You put a lot of effort into your business. You invest your own money in it. You live off the income you manage to generate. Many times the survival of your employees also depends on your success. It’s no wonder that negative reviews sometimes keep you up at night. But keep in mind that with conscious action you can turn most of them into a competitive advantage.

If you already have Google My Business, reviews are going to work as a perpetual motion machine. Huge amount of stars in the ranking attract new potential customers, who are able to generate further positive reviews. If clients see negative comments on your Google Business Card it is almost certain they’ll start considering the quality of your services.
