What is a better Google rating actually worth?
Every local business owner has a gut feeling that a higher Google rating brings in more customers — but "more customers" is hard to act on without a number attached. This review ROI calculator turns your average job value and current monthly customer count into an estimated extra-customers-per-month and yearly-revenue-uplift figure, so you can weigh the cost of chasing more reviews against a concrete, if approximate, payoff.
Where the uplift assumption comes from
The calculator's core assumption is simple and stated up front: by default, each +0.5-star improvement in your average Google rating is modeled as roughly an 8% increase in inbound customers, applied linearly (so a full +1.0-star jump is modeled as ~16% more customers). This is a deliberately round, conservative planning figure in line with the general direction of published local-SEO and consumer-trust research — most consumers say they filter out businesses below a certain star threshold, and rating improvements are consistently associated with more calls, clicks, and bookings. It is not a precise, universally true percentage: your actual uplift depends on your industry, local competition, price point, and how visible your listing already is.
That's why the 8% figure lives in an "Advanced" panel you can open and edit directly — plug in your own estimate, or a number from your own before/after data, and every result on the page recalculates instantly. We'd rather show you an honest, adjustable assumption than a black-box number that looks precise but isn't.
How to use the estimate
Treat the output as a directional planning number, not a guarantee: it's most useful for comparing scenarios ("is closing a 0.3-star gap worth investing in a review-request process?") rather than for forecasting exact revenue. Everything is calculated live in your browser as you adjust the sliders — nothing is sent to a server, and no login is required.
If the numbers make the case for chasing more reviews, the fastest way to move your rating is to make sure every customer is actually asked. BizGo's Review Engine sends a compliant WhatsApp review request to every customer automatically — see the box above to get started.
