A simple skip from a 3 star to a 3.5-star rating means 19% more customers for a restaurant. In truth, that stat holds true for services as well. That's only half a star - what impact might an extra full star bring your business?
Let's Find Out!
As you likely know, Yelp is a review site where customers can leave a review for businesses and rate them from 1 to 5 stars. It's often the first result when someone searches for a local service provider or restaurant, and a good star rating can mean the difference between profit and bankruptcy.
UC Berkley found that a half-star rating increase on Yelp from 3.0 to 3.5 stars results in 19% more customers for restaurants.
A business needs 4.5 to 5 stars to be considered 'above average' and attract the majority of potential sales.
79% of customers say they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
54.7% of consumers read at least four reviews before doing business.
9 out of 10 consumers will search for reviews when making a buying decision.
You work hard to get as many positive 5-star reviews as you can to boost your ratings. However, lately, Yelp has been deleting positive reviews from thousands of profiles. And there's nothing you can do about it!
Many of the positive, 5-star reviews that a business receives end up in a 'not recommended' section of their profile:
These reviews are not counted in your overall rating, driving it lower and lower over time.
There was even a class action lawsuit by struggling business owners to stop Yelp from doing this:
Unfortunately... Yelp won and continues to delete good reviews to this day.
You see, there are many unscrupulous companies out there that sell 5-star reviews for businesses to artificially inflate their star rating.

These companies will flood a business with fake 5-star reviews, using automated bots to write them for a small fee.
Yelp started filtering out 22% of all reviews that their algorithm determines is a 'fake review.' The problem is that many real reviews are getting caught in that filter.
And here's the worst part: This filter is far more likely to block good reviews than negative reviews.
This makes sense from Yelp's perspective... Most people buying fake reviews are buying good, 5-star reviews, and so it's far more likely a good review is fake than a negative review.
So with 22% of legitimate 5-star reviews getting filtered out and all the negative reviews going through... Business's star ratings have been slowly creeping lower week after week.

Many business owners have taken to the internet to find a solution, to find a way to stop Yelp from deleting reviews and unlocking the ones that are currently locked:
No one has found a legal, viable, and practical solution... Until now...
Unlocking these 5-star reviews gives an immediate boost to any business's rating, often increasing it by 2 or more stars overnight:
There are two ways to find out...
This company continues to prey on local businesses.
Their algorithm blocks reviews, forcing business owners to pay for premium services to try to keep their rating afloat.
Helping a business unlock its hidden reviews can boost any Yelp rating by 2 stars or more, practically overnight.
