Hold a review rating at or above target, with a review in the last 90 days
Your online reputation is public proof of the business's quality — and buyers check it. A strong, steady stream of positive reviews reassures them the customer base is happy and loyal, independent of you.
Do this
- Keep a steady flow of new positive reviews coming in.
- Maintain a strong average rating across the main platforms.
- Respond to reviews consistently and professionally.
- Make review-gathering a system, not a one-time push.
Reputation Maintenance Checklist
- Strong average rating on Google and key sites
- Steady flow of new reviews (not all old)
- Every review responded to
- A repeatable system for requesting reviews
- Reputation tied to the business, not just you
