Our blog has a message that is both a celebration of success and a critical observation.

As you know, in today’s digital landscape, a business’s online reputation is its most valuable asset. The data is clear: 93% of consumers read online reviews before making a purchase, and nearly 75% say that positive Google reviews make them trust a business more. It  follows that any increase in your 5 star ratings will lead to a significant boost in revenue.

We’ve seen this firsthand. Over the past months, we’ve helped some of our clients implement our Google Review Acquisition system, and the results have been nothing short of transformative. Here’s a first hand look at how an increased number of reviews has helped their businesses grow.

Client A: Ben’s Electric Solutions Team “The rising star”

Since activating our automated review gathering system, Ben’s Electric Solutions Team has seen their number of reviews increase from just 4 to 113. The graph below shows a direct correlation between this growth and a 35 % increase in revenue over the last 12 months.

Client B: Dreamlife Mattress Outlet Comox BC, "The Mighty Powerhouse"

For Trish at Dreamlife Mattress Outlet, reviews were the missing piece in her online reputation. Her website was great, she ran a great business, her customers praised her, but the number of  reviews on her business listing were lacking.  After implementing our Google Review Acquisition System, her Google reviews went from just 3 reviews to 159 bonafide 5 star reviews.

Client C: Ebenezer Roofing: "The Service Champion"

Ebenezer Roofing’s business relies heavily on price, followed by trust and credibility. By actively collecting reviews, their average star rating is now a near-perfect 4.9, and they appear in the first page of the search results. The graph below illustrates how they were able to get reviews and grow their business in an incredibly competitive market.

On the other side of the coin, we've observed a difficult trend.

We have other clients who, for various reasons, have not yet prioritized their Google Review strategy.  They often share one thing in common: a low volume of recent, positive reviews. When potential customers search for them, they are presented with an outdated or lackluster online reputation, causing them to choose a competitor who has invested in this critical area.

This isn’t about shaming or judging; it’s about showing you the hard truth in black and white. Your online reputation is not something you can leave to chance. Our system is designed to automate this process, turning your satisfied customers into powerful advocates for your business.

Are you ready to stop leaving money on the table?

Chances are that your business would benefit from an automated review acquisition program, and it’s one of our least expensive service offerings. Let’s schedule a brief 15-minute call to show you how our system can deliver similar results for your business.

Gary Pitcher

Web Developer

Gary has forgotten more about technology than most of us will ever know. He’s worked in dozens of industries in a wide variety of roles and solves difficult problems recreationally. By the time you’ve formulated your question, Gary already has an answer, which would be annoying except he’s so darned nice about it.

Adrian Proctor

Web Developer

When you put Adrian behind a keyboard, magic happens. On stage, that means he’s making music. At work, he’s bringing website designs to life. Adrian is probably the quietest member of the Unrivald Digital team, but when he speaks, we all listen because we know he’s got something important to say.

Shaheen Bhimani

Director

Shaheen is the guy you want in your corner when you’ve got a complex problem to solve in the next 15 minutes. He’s part MacGyver, part Tony Stark and part while still being the nicest guy in the room, hands down. His soft-spoken, down-to-earth vibe and ability to deliver makes him a client favourite.

Founder

Whether leading a meeting, riding his motorcycle, or running in the Banff Jasper Relay (for which he was Race Director for many years), Blair connects with the world around him. He inspires his team to work hard while never forgetting the value of the relationships he builds with clients.
