FAQs
There isn’t a magic number, but steady recent reviews and a 4.5+ average usually build confidence.
- Aim for recency: a few new reviews each month looks healthier than a big burst once a year.
- Quality over volume: detailed reviews that mention the service and outcome help more than one-word praise.
- Balance: invite feedback across your main services, not just one.
- We set a 90-day review-velocity target based on your job volume, then report average rating and recency in Google Business Profile (GBP).

- Add-ons: survey/Net Promoter Score (NPS), listings sync, photo management, or outreach for press and features.

- Lift rating by increasing positive review velocity and reducing unanswered negatives.
- Improve visibility by publishing helpful content and completing profiles so more positive results appear on page one.
- Reality check: removal is limited by platform rules, so we focus on earning and highlighting genuine positives.
- We set baselines for average rating, review velocity, and response time, then compare at 30/60/90 days.
We can flag and appeal reviews that violate policy, but Google decides. Legitimate negative experiences usually cannot be removed.
- Removable if they violate rules like spam, hate, off-topic, conflicts of interest, or explicit language.
- If not removable, respond professionally, offer a resolution path, and counterweight with new, verified reviews.
- We document each flag or appeal and keep you informed of the outcome.
- We cite Google’s review policy when we appeal, and share the platform’s decision. Google policy
Document, flag under policy, reply briefly, then outpace with genuine reviews.
- Collect evidence: screenshots, dates, and why it violates policy (off-topic, conflicts of interest, spam).
- File the report: submit a policy-based flag and, when eligible, an appeal. We track status and keep you updated.
- Public reply: a short, calm note inviting the reviewer to contact you directly. Do not escalate.
- Counterweight: request fresh reviews from verified customers via Customer Relationship Management (CRM) email or SMS flows.
Start with Google Business Profile (GBP), then pick 1–2 industry sites your buyers actually check.
- Common winners: Yelp for many local services, Healthgrades for healthcare, Avvo for legal, Houzz for home services, G2/Capterra for software.
- Prioritize where prospects research and where profiles rank on page one for your keywords.
- In month one we identify the top two non-Google sites by referral traffic in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and by search presence, then fully complete those profiles.
- Keep the list short so you can monitor and respond reliably.
Increase recent positives, fix root causes, and show progress publicly.
- Ask at the right moment: trigger review requests right after successful jobs so happy customers recall details.
- Fix the pattern: if negatives mention the same issue, adjust the process and say so in your replies.
- Invite updates: when you resolve a complaint, politely ask the customer to consider revising their review.
- We set a 90-day improvement plan with targets for recent reviews and average rating, then report progress in Google Search Console (GSC) and Google Business Profile (GBP).
