Why Reviews Are Your Agency’s Next Growth Engine

Online Reputation Is Everything—But Most Agencies Are Missing the Mark. What if reviews weren’t just another metric, but your agency’s secret revenue stream?

The Hidden Gap in Your Agency Offering

Most agencies nail SEO, paid media, and content—but when it comes to reputation management? It’s still an afterthought.

99% of consumers say they read reviews before choosing a local business
73% won’t even consider a brand below 4 stars
60% prefer reviews to be recent—not older than 6 months

Outdated tactics. Legally risky practices. Responses that sound like bots.

Your clients deserve better—and so does your bottom line.

The Review Game Has Changed

The FTC is cracking down on shady practices like review gating and undisclosed incentives. Meanwhile, AI-written replies that miss the mark? They’re eroding trust faster than you can say “ChatGPT.”

Compliance isn’t optional anymore
Speed, transparency, and a human touch are non-negotiable

This guide breaks it all down—with actionable strategies for agencies who want to do it right.
