Tips for the best Google Reviews
Absolutely! Yes, Google customer reviews linked in your GMB (Google My Business profile) are critical to your local company’s online credibility.
A customer review with an image can “help in a big way!”
For example, I participated in a chartered fishing trip on Lake Erie and had a fabulous day and a large catch! I left the company a review and included pictures from my outing. As a Google user, Google lets me know the impact I’ve made through my image submission. My photo submission was viewed over 5,000 times in just seven months and over 90,000 times since 2022. My review is an important digital asset to this business.
Yes, Google Photos and Reviews matter tremendously!


Customer reviews mentioning your services help you rank for that service
In this search query, I typed “bathroom remodels.” Google used the information from where I was physically searching to show me three businesses from Google Local Business profiles in my area that have the words “bath,” “bathroom,” and remodel/remodeling as part of their customer reviews.
Note, in this Google Maps local search result listing, my business search results are not solely based on the company name and self-chosen provided services the company provides; instead, the highlighted important factor is whether the company’s Google reviews said they provided bathroom remodeling services.
