Local business reviews published online have the same power as word-of-mouth advertising, Local Viewpoints found out.

As many as an incredible 92% of people trust recommendations from people they know, and even 72% of consumers trust online reviews just as much! Now that‘s the good news.

The bad news is, according to Local Viewpoints, that 57% of consumers will avoid a local business with negative online reviews, claiming further that 90% of ecommerce shoppers use online reviews to make buying decisions.
