The “trend line” over the last four years clearly shows how much more regularly people are reading reviews, clearly highlighting the need for local businesses to attract more reviews and actively manage their online reputation.
The steady decline of consumers in the “No” column also allows us to forecast the way consumer attitudes are likely to continue changing in the future.
