How many reviews are you missing?
How many months to catch the competitor who appears ahead of you on Google Maps.
You and your competitor
Without asking, about 1 to 3%. With an automatic request at the right time, 15 to 30%.

10 months

Your rating in one year
4.76 / 5
On Google Maps, review count weighs heavily in local ranking, along with proximity and relevance. The stronger effect is trust: at the same rating, a profile with 9 reviews and one with 87 do not read the same way.
At 25% of your 30 jobs a month, you collect 90 reviews next year. Without automatic requests, at 2%, you would collect 7.
Asking is what changes the rate
Without a request, about one customer in fifty leaves a review. With an automatic request at the right moment, 15 to 30% typically do. That tenfold difference is the whole gap between 9 reviews and 100.
The new-rating assumption
The rating in one year assumes new reviews arrive at 4.8, a realistic average when you ask satisfied customers at the right moment. Change the inputs to see how fast your profile moves.
