Reviews · Ajax

Asking properly,
in Ajax.

In Ajax the median business has 31 Google reviews and the quiet quarter of the market sits under 6. 144 have none at all — for them the first ten matter more than the next hundred ever will.

Every line above comes from our own survey of Ajax: 1,271 listings, each website opened and checked by hand. Nothing is modelled.

The moment matters more than the wording

The time to ask is when the work has just been finished and the customer is pleased. A week later that moment has gone. We set the ask up so it happens then, by whatever route that customer already uses.

Nothing bought, nothing screened

We do not buy reviews and we do not filter out the customers likely to be unhappy before asking. Both are against Google policy, both are detectable in the pattern, and the listing is usually worth more than the website.

What a realistic target looks like in Ajax

Getting past 31 puts you in the upper half of this market. Getting past 121 puts you in the top quarter. Catching the 7,243 at the top took that business years and is not a first-year target.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many Google reviews do I need in Ajax?

The median across 1,271 Ajax businesses is 31; the top quarter is past 121. Those numbers are not comparable between trades — a count that is exceptional for an accountant is unremarkable for a restaurant.

Does a 5.0 rating look fake?

Above about fifty reviews, a perfect score starts to read as filtered. 579 businesses in Ajax already hold 4.9 or better, so a high rating is table stakes here rather than a differentiator.

Where does your
own site land?

Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
