Online reviews play a big role when it comes to consumer choices. Before your potential customers visit your store in-person or buy your product online, they look for other customer reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc.
90% of companies who utilize review displaying widgets use filters to only display positive feedback to potential customers.
The most commonly used filter by these companies are the ones that only show 4 and 5 star reviews.
In this blog post, we would like to showcase how easily you can use Trustindex to display the positive feedback you get to your customers.
