How is Google Review's star rating score calculated?

Google calculates the average star rating by adding all the star ratings received and then dividing it by the total number of reviews. It's an arithmetic mean, so all ratings carry equal weight. 

The final score is then rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, if you receive a 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star review, the average rating would be (5+4+3)/3 = 4.

What are the benefits of Google reviews?

Google reviews can provide several benefits to businesses. They can increase online visibility in search rankings, enhance trust and credibility, offer insight into customer satisfaction, and boost click-through rates. 

By showcasing user-generated content, reviews act as social proof that can influence purchasing decisions. To learn more about the benefits, read our detailed guide.

How many Google reviews do I need to get 5 stars?

To have an overall 5-star rating on Google reviews, the majority of your reviews need to be 5 stars. The exact number depends on the distribution of your other ratings. 

However, even a single rating below 5 stars could potentially drop the overall average below 5.

How to turn a 1-star review into a 5-star review?

While you can't directly change a 1-star review into a 5-star review, you can respond to negative reviews professionally, addressing the concerns raised. 

If you're able to resolve the issue, you can then request the reviewer to consider updating their review based on their improved experience. To learn more, please read our detailed guide on How to Respond to Google Reviews (Positive and Negative).

How can I delete a negative review on Google?

As a business owner, you can't directly delete a negative Google review. 

However, if the review violates Google's review policies, you can flag it for removal. 

If it doesn't violate the policy, the best response is to professionally address the reviewer's concerns, which shows prospective customers your commitment to their satisfaction. 

Learn more about deleting Google reviews as quickly as possible.

How do I calculate Google reviews?

Google reviews are calculated by averaging the star ratings given by users. Each review can range from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) stars. 

You can calculate the average by adding all the star ratings received and dividing by the total number of reviews.

How do I get a 5.0 review on Google?

To achieve a 5.0-star rating on Google, your business needs to consistently provide excellent customer service and exceed customer expectations, prompting them to give you a 5-star rating. Encourage satisfied customers to leave a review. 

Remember, even a single review with less than 5 stars can bring down the overall average. Learn more about the best ways to get 5-star reviews on Google.
