Questions
How is the Google rating calculated?
Google shows the average of all star ratings on your profile, rounded to one decimal. So a business with 80 five-star and 20 four-star reviews shows 4.8★.
How many 5-star reviews do I need to go from 4.2 to 4.5?
It depends on how many reviews you have now. With 100 reviews at 4.2★ you need about 60 new 5-star reviews to show 4.5★. Enter your own numbers above to see your figure.
How much does one 1-star review hurt?
The fewer reviews you have, the more one bad review moves your rating. The calculator shows the effect of one new 1-star review on your current rating.
Can I remove bad reviews?
Only reviews that break Google's rules can be reported for removal. The safe way to improve a rating is to ask every happy customer for a genuine review and reply politely to every review.
