Online reviews aren’t just about credibility — they directly influence your bottom line.

According to a Harvard Business School study, a one-star increase on Google can lead to a 5–9% boost in revenue. Even a 0.3–0.5 star increase, combined with higher review volume, can result in meaningful growth.

Why Reviews Impact Revenue:

• Visibility: Google and Yelp rank highly rated, frequently reviewed businesses

higher in local results.

• Trust: Social proof builds confidence. A customer is more likely to visit when others

have vouched for your quality.

• Conversion: Positive reviews lead to more bookings, walk-ins, and repeat visits.

Let’s Do the Math:

Say your restaurant earns €50,000/month.

• Boost your average rating from 4.2 to 4.5

• Add 50 new reviews in the next 60 days

Estimated revenue lift: 2–4%, or €1,000–2,000/month

Annual impact: €12,000–€24,000 in added revenue

And that’s without changing anything else.

How to Trigger This Growth:

1. Ask for reviews proactively using tap-to-review tools

2. Train staff to ask politely, at the right moment

3. Make it frictionless – no searching, no QR scanning, just one tap

4. Track results – monitor review count and average rating monthly

Consistent, quality reviews drive compounding growth over time. The earlier you start, the greater the revenue gains.
