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

    You are correct. To put is simply many business just simply don’t ask for them, and if you don’t ask it’s highly unlikely the client will bother.

    I run a physical therapy practice, every time a client emails me with good news or it’s their last session I have an email template I send them politely asking for the review with a link.

    I’m not convinced it massively helps with SEO but definitely improves click rates!

    For your first 20 you can get friends to leave reviews to get the ball rolling.
