Why do you need an average rating badge on your Shopify store?

According to Bright Local, 57% of consumers will only use a business with an average rating of 4 or more stars.

Not only that, but 72% of customers won’t take any action until they read reviews about your business.

People that stop by your Shopify store don't feel like they can trust you or your products if you don't have any reviews!

Reviews provide valuable information

Having average ratings on your Shopify store benefits you and your shoppers in so many ways:

  • Showing your average rating gives your shoppers quick information to make purchase decisions.
  • Average ratings provide you with feedback on popular and unpopular products that you can use to make changes.

Average rating badges help with SEO
