Reviews are a big deal

Reviews are what is influencing consumers in powerful ways. Reviews are more impactful then ads because they lower perceived risk, appear unbiased and make people feel more confident about their choice, because no one wants to be wrong.

“… because people trust online reviews so much, leads borne of online reviews tend to be easy to convert for the same reasons that referrals from past clients are easy to convert: because those leads arrive with a high level of confidence on the part of the consumer.”
