What is Product reviews?

Evaluations of a product by users or experts, a key trust signal for buyers and search engines.

Google's reviews system rewards in-depth reviews that show first-hand use, compare alternatives, and explain trade-offs, over thin summaries.

On review sites and directories, the number, recency, and detail of reviews all influence buyers.

Why it matters when you launch

Ask your earliest users for honest reviews on the platforms where your buyers research. A handful of detailed reviews beats many one-liners.
