Business owners sometimes complain about the accuracy of online ratings and reviews. But no matter how the angle swings on this feedback for your business, user ratings and reviews have a significant impact on sales. They are a critical part of whether a buyer decides to make a purchase or not.
According to research, 85% of online consumers trust online reviews on the same level as personal recommendations from friends and family. Likewise, additional research shows a 166% increase in sales conversion when ratings and user-generated content are integrated into the online shopping experience. Not bad, right?
