Impact of online customer reviews on reputation and consumers

Currently, 9 out of 10 customers systematically read online reviews before purchasing. This trend is completely redefining the digital reputation of businesses. In a saturated market, the quality of your customer reviews makes all the difference.

Impact of reviews on online awareness and reputation

A hesitant customer who discovers a collection of positive reviews on your page will make up their mind immediately. The statistics speak for themselves: 93% of consumers consult reviews before making a purchase. Take the example of this restaurant which, after accumulating 80 5-star reviews on Google , increased its bookings by 1.5 times. Furthermore, 92% of Internet users require a minimum rating of 4/5 stars to trust you.

Reviews also influence your online rankings. A local business rose to the top of Google search results thanks to 150 verified reviews, increasing its traffic by 35%. Every recommendation is free advertising: this craftsman who shared 15 reviews on social media saw his quote requests jump by 45%.
