ProfileForBusiness Glossary
What is Google reviews?
Google reviews are customer ratings and comments visible on a business listing. They influence local rankings and the decision to make first contact.
Why it matters
Review count and freshness are among the strongest local SEO signals. For customers they are social proof: a business without reviews looks inactive.
How to use it
- Ask for a review right after a successful job.
- Make it easy with a direct review link.
- Never buy reviews or write them yourself.
- Aim for a steady flow, not a one-off push.
