The comparison your customers make in three seconds

Nobody researches one business. They search the category, see three or four options in the map results, and the stars do the first round of elimination. A half-star gap decides that round before anyone reads a word.

If you are behind, the fix is volume of honest 5-star reviews: the request templates and your direct review link make asking painless. If you are ahead, protect the lead: businesses that reply to reviews are seen as more trustworthy by 88% of consumers, and our response grader shows how your reply habit looks from the outside.

Frequently asked questions

Why compare ratings with a competitor?

Because your customers already do. When someone searches your category, Google shows you and your competitors in the same map pack, ratings side by side. The comparison happens whether you look at it or not.

How is 'reviews needed to pass them' calculated?

Straight averages: we work out how many new 5-star reviews would lift your displayed (rounded) rating above their current one, assuming their rating stays put and you collect no new negative reviews.

My competitor has fewer reviews but a higher rating. Who wins?

Consumers weigh both. A 4.9 from 12 reviews reads as less trustworthy than a 4.6 from 400. Recency matters too: 73% of consumers only pay attention to reviews from the last month.

What if we have the same rating?

Then the tiebreakers decide: review count, how recent your reviews are, and whether the owner replies. A profile where every review gets a thoughtful answer reads as a business that cares, and that is often the deciding factor.
