Areeb Mirza (creator) argues that the old competition to have the most Google reviews is losing value. People increasingly distrust unnaturally many five-star reviews (they suspect inflation) and are deterred by many negative reviews. Mirza advises that while five-star reviews still aid SEO, businesses should not rely on review counts alone and should adopt new ways to showcase services and surface reviews.
It used to be the battle of who has the most reviews like which business has the most reviews no one cares anymore. Like people know you can inflate that if they see too many five stars they start asking questions. If they see too many bad reviews they won't come. Listen still keep track of the five stars like it helps with SEO but don't rely on it to bring in more people. There are new ways now to show your services and highlight reviews.
