Do Google Business Reviews EVEN Matter? Optimizing Google Business Page
Google reviews are critically important for businesses in America. According to a survey, 82% of consumers read online reviews, with 52% of 18-54 year olds saying they always do. Additionally, 93% of consumers use online reviews to make purchasing decisions, and 68% form an opinion after reading between one and six online reviews. A Harvard Business School study found that a one-star increase in rating led to a 5-9% increase in restaurant revenues. To optimize your Google business profile, ensure you have relevant business categories, load your description with keywords, add your website, mark the areas you want to be found in, fill out your business hours, and respond to reviews using keywords. It's important to have a Q&A section and photos taken at the location of your business to improve your ranking on Google. Always fill out all available information and use keywords to maximize your presence.
