Local reviews are important.

93% of consumers use online reviews to impact their purchasing decisions suggested by a recent survey by Podium. Reviews remain very influential when it comes to making decisions for B2B and B2C; consumers read these reviews before they make their purchasing decisions whether that's products or experiences. The study suggests that 68% of consumers are willing to pay up to 15% more for the same product or service if they are assured they will have a better experience.
