Right here is one other research from Pleasure Hawkins and associates. This research says that upvoting critiques are likely to hold the critiques on the native listings up for an extended time frame.

Upvotes are if you thumbs up or just like the critiques already left on a enterprise native itemizing in Google. Here’s a screenshot:

The research confirmed that usually the extra upvotes a overview has, the longer that overview stays on the Google native itemizing. Pleasure stated they “tracked critiques in a number of industries (garden care, a jeweler, a advertising and marketing firm, and a handyman) for six months to 1 yr. In keeping with our research, critiques with a minimum of two upvotes stayed within the prime ten, on common, for nearly 100 extra days than critiques with zero or one upvote.”

Right here is the chart displaying the variety of upvotes on critiques and the way lengthy these critiques lasted:

Pleasure stated, “It does appear worthwhile to encourage clients to upvote critiques that they discovered useful in your itemizing whereas they’re leaving you a overview themselves.”
