How Do Google Reviews Impact Local Businesses?

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about the real impact of Google Reviews on local businesses. As a small business owner, I’ve been encouraging customers to leave reviews, but I’m wondering how much weight these reviews carry in attracting new customers. Do positive reviews genuinely help with SEO, or is it more about social proof? 

Also, how do negative reviews affect business reputation in the long term? On a side note, I’ve heard people discussing how to purchase Google reviews, and I’m wondering if that’s an ethical practice or if it’s something to avoid. I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips for managing reviews effectively. 

Looking forward to learning from your insights!
