Top Takeaways:   

Google reviews have evolved from a nice-to-have to one of the main factors customers consider in their decision-making process. In today’s competitive environment, businesses with the most reviews and the highest ratings attract the most clients. 

While both surveys and online reviews offer customer feedback, reviews deliver additional value because they are public and influence a brand's reputation. Surveys provide private insights to the business, but reviews contribute directly to marketing by enhancing trust and credibility online. 

Online reviews are especially valuable for local businesses whose reputation is their brand. Positive reviews can be the deciding factor when customers compare options in search results.
