Why 'we already have Google reviews' isn't enough
8 April 2026 · 3 min read
Reviews are lagging, not leading
A Google review arrives after the experience, from the fraction who bother. It tells you the score long after you could change it.
You don't own the relationship
A Google reviewer is Google's contact, not yours. You can't email them a thank-you, a birthday wish or an offer.
On-premise feedback is your own data
Feedback captured on your tablet builds your customer list, your loyalty balances and your staff insight — none of which lives on a public listing.
Use both, in order
Catch the truth privately, fix it, then route the happy customers to Google. Your public rating rises because your private feedback loop works.
