The 5-Star Trap: Why Small Businesses Fail Online (and How AI Is Quietly Saving Them)”
Let’s be honest — in 2025, your Google rating is your real business card.
It doesn’t matter how good your food tastes, how skilled your team is, or how loyal your customers are…
If your rating drops below 4 stars, new customers will scroll right past you.
🚨 The Harsh Reality
Studies show that 93% of consumers check reviews before buying — and most won’t trust a business under 4 stars.
What’s worse? Many small businesses don’t even know they’ve received a bad review until it’s too late.
By then, that negative comment has already scared off dozens of potential customers.
