Looking for a place to stay during your vacation? Are you considering buying a product you’re somewhat unfamiliar with? As a consumer, you’ve no doubt relied on reviews before purchasing a product. Therefore, it’s likely that you understand the importance of reviews as it relates to generating more sales, building consumer relations and increasing web traffic.

If you’ve explored the possibilities of local SEO, then you’re probably aware of Google My Business, a prime opportunity for local business owners to land themselves on the front page of one of the billions of Google searches made each day. High rankings can do a lot to increase the likelihood of a Top 3 listing (the Google My Business listings that appear on the front page of a local Google search). However, Google My Business is only one example of how positive ratings and reviews can boost your SEO campaign. Many local searches will yield popular review sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor as their top results, so a presence on these sites will do wonders to increase interest in your company’s services.
