What are Google Reviews?

Google Reviews are online reviews people write about the experiences they had with the places they visited. Google reviews are linked to Google Maps, Google Search & Google business listings. Anyone can leave feedback, add images & share their experiences with others through Google Reviews. When you write many reviews, you have the ability to become a local guide. 

If you are a business owner, Google Reviews are critical to you. When potential customers look for your business, you should have reviews on Google. About 86% of customers read online reviews before they hope to make a deal with a business.

A person can give a negative review or a positive review for a business. Business owners should continuously pay attention to Google Reviews to identify their loopholes & faults.

The first step to writing a Google review is to log in to your Google account. Open a webpage & click the Sign In button on the top-right corner. Then you have to enter your User name & password. Keep in mind that if you are not signed in, Google will ask you to sign in before writing the review.

Google Reviews has two parts: Star ratings & written reviews. When you want to leave a Google review, first you should give a star rating to that business. Many people 1st look at the star rating of a review. 

Star rating should match your opinion of the business. There are 5 stars so 1 star means you don’t like the place & 5 stars mean you love the place.
