🔴 The Problem

Most businesses underestimate how powerful reviews really are.
You might have great work, but if no one can see proof—you’ll lose to someone with better reviews.

In today’s world, trust = reviews.


🟣 Why Google Reviews Matter

  • 90% of customers read reviews before contacting a business.

  • More reviews = higher ranking in Google’s local map pack.

  • It’s free, powerful, and builds instant credibility.
