Don’t Let a Few Stars Stop You: How to Actually Read Google Reviews

from Bookkeeping Made Simple · host Donna Harris

A perfect 5.0 rating isn’t a green light — it’s often a redflag. In this solo episode, Donna Harris gets personal about the real cost of online reviews — including a prospect who canceled a consultation because of negative reviews that weren’t even from real clients. She breaks down what ahealthy review profile actually looks like, how to read negative reviews like a professional, why Google doesn’t verify that reviewers ever hired the business, and what actually matters when you’re evaluating a service provider. If you’ve ever hired or fired a business based on star ratings alone — this episode will change how you look at reviews forever.Resources Mentioned•      Blogpost: Why a Few Negative Reviews Shouldn’t Stop You From Hiring a Business —mysimplebookkeeping.com/from-broke-to-bankable•      Freeconsultation — mysimplebookkeeping.com/contact •      Website:https://mysimplebookkeeping.com•      Phone:801-692-0032•      Books& Backbone Podcast on Spotify
