Benefits of Adding Google Reviews to Your BigCommerce Store

When you add Google reviews to your BigCommerce store, you make it easier for your potential customers to trust your business. It increases credibility and boosts your brand identity too. Let’s take a look at how adding Google reviews to your BigCommerce store can be useful:

Enhanced User Experience

A huge, but underscored benefit of adding reviews to your BigCommerce website is that you can provide potential customers with additional information about your product. You can show off different use cases (experiences from different types of customers) without even having to put any additional effort into explaining it. This can be a great way to bring in customers who might not be fully confident about your product and its capabilities.

Social Proof

Reviews are the most powerful forms of social proof. Social proof is the concept that a person (potential customer) will be more likely to engage with or buy from your store if they see similar like-minded people (your past customers) doing it. The best way to show the validation of these past customers is by showing off the reviews they left behind on your website.

Brand Identity

When you add reviews from loyal customers to your website, you are building your brand’s identity. The service/product you provide, the way you interact with your customers, and even the way you respond to reviews left behind by past customers—all of these actions promote a positive brand image. This boosts your company’s reputation and even encourages users to engage with your company.

Conclusion

Testimonials and reviews are the foundation of building a business that succeeds. Collecting reviews is an essential part of running a successful marketing campaign. Reviews can make or break your campaigns. Manually displaying these collected reviews can become easy with a tool like Feedspace. Feedspace’s advanced AI capabilities can help you generate review request forms in seconds.
