Have you ever wondered why people pay so much attention to comment sections on social media and other online platforms? No matter how inconsequential it might seem, people are hugely influenced by the opinions of others. Modern consumers express their opinions online, and people listen. 

Reviews are way more important than you might think. According to a survey we conducted on User Generated Content (UGC) recently, 74% of consumers indicated that reviews are an important factor when they want to make purchase decisions.

Companies understand the impact of reviews on their products and services. They know that customers place a lot of value on reviews. Therefore, they are making conscious efforts to collect and display reviews on their websites. But reviews go far beyond a brand’s owned dot com. There are hundreds of review channels out there influencing consumers one way or other about your brand and products.

Imagine the effect that tens and hundreds of reviews can have. Reviews mean more web traffic and an increase in the on-page time of your site.
