Reviews are not the only factor
- Google ranks by relevance, distance and prominence. Reviews feed prominence.
- A business with fewer reviews can still beat bigger rivals with the right category, complete details and regular activity.
- Only genuine reviews count long term. Buying reviews or filtering who can leave one breaks Google policy and can get a profile suspended.
