Why Your Business Is Losing Customers

Imagine this:

  • A potential customer searches for your service
  • They see your competitor has 4.7 stars with 200 reviews
  • You have 4.1 stars with 80 reviews

Who do they choose? Not you.

In today's digital world, reviews = revenue. A single half-star drop can cost you 20% of your leads. But here's the good news - fixing your reputation is easier than you think.

Real-World Example: How Reviews Make or Break Sales


"Take Rhino Roofing in Las Vegas"

Ranked #2 on Google Maps
  • 80 reviews, 4.1 stars

Their competitor? Elite Las Vegas Roofing:

  • Ranked #1
  • 4.7 stars

Who gets more calls? If you were a homeowner with a leaky roof, who would you trust?

The Data Doesn't Lie:

  • 82% of customers read reviews before buying
  • Businesses with 4.5+ stars get 2X more leads
  • Negative reviews can slash conversions by 50%

The #1 Mistake Businesses Make with Reviews

Most companies beg for 5-star reviews by blasting Google review links to every customer.

Big mistake.

Why? Because:
✅ Happy customers leave glowing reviews
❌ Unhappy customers tank your rating

The Fix? A Smarter Review Funnel

Here's how it works:

  1. Send a review request (via email or text)
  2. Filter unhappy customers before they post publicly

How to filter bad reviews

  • If they click ★★★★ or lower → send feedback privately
  • If they click ★★★★★ → redirect to Google on your Google my business Profile.

Result?

  • More 5-star reviews
  • Fewer public complaints
  • Higher ratings = more customers

(Example: A roofing company added 50+ 5-star reviews in 30 days using this method.)

Can you delete my bad reviews?

No (Google won't allow it). But we drown them out with positive ones - so they matter less.
