How many 5 star reviews does it take to offset a 1 star review on Google?
The ratio revealed – Here’s the ratio: It takes roughly 40 positive customer experiences to undo the damage of a single negative review. The ratio is derived from a combination of human behavior, math, and logic. Here’s how I discovered it:
A customer who has a negative experience is highly likely to share that experience by leaving a bad review, A customer who has a positive experience, on the other hand, is unlikely to leave a good review. In my experience, only one in 10 happy customers leaves a good review. Your company or product rating (typically out of five stars) reflects an overall average of good and bad reviews. So if your goal is to maintain an overall rating of four stars, you’ll need four five-star reviews to make up for every one-star review. Assuming that only one of every 10 happy customers leaves a positive five-star review, and knowing that it takes four five-star reviews to make up for each one-star review, you can figure it takes 40 positive customer experiences to make up for a single bad review.
All of this makes for a good-to-bad review ratio that is virtually impossible to ignore. I’ve witnessed this firsthand with my company, and it increases the importance of getting great reviews by providing great customer experiences.
