📝Why Google Reviews Aren’t Enough Anymore (Especially in the Age of AI)
If you’ve been focusing only on Google reviews for your business—you’re doing a great job. But now it’s time to take it one step further.
With tools like ChatGPT now suggesting local businesses based on online data, your visibility depends on more than just Google.
Here’s the thing:
ChatGPT doesn’t pull data from Google Business Profiles.
Instead, it relies on:
- Yelp
- BBB
- Trustpilot
- TripAdvisor
- And other niche directories depending on your industry
So if you’re not asking for reviews on those platforms too, you might be invisible where it matters next.
What to do:
- Create a simple process to request reviews on multiple sites
- Rotate platforms: Google > Facebook > Yelp > BBB
- Use automation tools like Birdeye to streamline the process
- Add review links to your email signature, receipts, or follow-ups
Bottom line: Reviews are still gold—but spreading them out multiplies your visibility in 2025 and beyond.
