When was the last time you checked Google Reviews before choosing a business? Most of your customers do the same. Reviews aren’t just about reputation - they’re a proven ranking factor in Google Maps and search. That means the more reviews you have (and the more recent they are), the easier it is for new customers to find you.
Why Reviews matter:
-
Boosts local ranking. Google uses review count and rating as part of its “prominence” signal when deciding which businesses appear in the local pack and Maps.
-
Builds instant trust. Over 95% of people read reviews before contacting a business, and a higher star rating can directly increase sales.
-
Influences revenue. Studies show that even a 1-star increase in ratings can boost revenue by 5–9%.
The challenge:
Even happy customers don’t always leave reviews. Most people need a little reminder or an easy way to do it.
How to get more reviews (and make it easy):
-
Send an email request. Email is the number-one channel people prefer for review requests. We’ve created a plug-and-play email template you can send to your customers.
-
Use QR codes. Place a QR code in your shop, on receipts, or in follow-up messages. A single scan takes your customer directly to your Google review page.
-
Pingcards. Our Google Review Cards, Plates, and Stands make it simple: customers just tap then leave their review in seconds.
Pro tip: Respond to every review - good or bad. Customers notice, and Google does too.
