It’s no secret that having high ratings on review sites such as Google is critical to attracting new customers. However, what isn’t as clear is at what rating customers will be deterred from exploring your company as an option for service.
To find out, we asked the following of 5,818 homeowners:
Based on a Google rating system of 1–5 stars (1 being lowest, 5 being highest), which of the following applies to you? I would only use and trust a home services company with a Google rating of ___ or higher.
If your home services business has a Google rating below 4 stars, 68% or approximately 2 out of 3 consumers will not consider using your company.
Recommendation
Quickly address and respond to poor reviews and work diligently to correct issues as soon as possible. If you can correct and or resolve the issue with the homeowner who has left a negative review, make sure you immediately ask them if they wouldn’t mind going back to update their review based on the new outcome. Your future business could depend on it.
