Customer reviews are important for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, they are highly influential over consumer’s purchasing behaviors and overall brand sentiment. According to recent research from Bright Local, 86% of customers seek out customer reviews before they will buy from a new business. Furthermore, the vast majority of customers claimed that they trusted online reviews just as much as they would a personal recommendation.
Of course, most businesses know that having a lot of good reviews can boost sales by strengthening consumer confidence in their business. However, positive, authentic reviews can do a whole lot more than just build trust with customers who are checking out your product/service pages. They are also an essential ingredient to an effective SEO strategy.
