I’m considering starting a small business. One of the first things I’m analyzing is getting lots of 5 star reviews to give legitimacy.

I see a lot of companies in my area with 20 or so reviews. Some just a few. The biggest might have 500

Does google only show a % of the reviews or something? I imagine I could get 20 reviews incredibly easily

    Not many businesses have a process in place to get good reviews and majority of the ones that do are pushy, thus damaging word of mouth.

    I think the way to go about it is to simply do a great job and have a small print out that has a QR code to your google review page. You can simply say to the client “if you’d like to leave a review, i’d greatly appreciate it”.

    Also, customers don’t generally know about the importance of 5 stars so on your print out you could have something that mentions how appreciated 5 stars are or something like that.

    Give your customer the choice and make it easy for them.
