why your reputation drives revenue

Reviews influence two things at once: whether customers choose you, and whether Google ranks you. The vast majority of people read reviews before buying, and a strong, recent set of positive reviews is often the deciding factor between you and a competitor.

At the same time, review quantity, rating, and recency are direct factors in local search and Map Pack rankings. A better reputation literally makes you more visible and more chosen, so investing in it compounds across your entire marketing.
