Staying on top of what they’re saying, why they’re saying it and who they’re saying it to can be a full-time job. One place where this is especially important? Google My Business.

A reputation score represents the value your business is getting from a review profile. The score is from 1 to 10. For example, if your Google score is 5 your business is not getting the potential value of that profile. 8 or higher would be better. The score is calculated based on a study of over 200,000 business’s reviews and revenue.

And, no, the testimonials on your website, or even your Facebook page, won’t provide the same benefits as Google reviews. It is much more difficult to fake Google reviews than to post phony testimonials on your own website. Greater credibility increases the value in the eyes of consumers.
