π€¬π€¬π€¬ Today we received a message offering to sell us Google reviews, Facebook reviews, followers and likes. I screenshotted it so you could see. To be honest, it made us quite angry.
As a small independent fish and chip business, we work hard for every customer who walks through our door. Every review we receive has been earned through real food, real service and real experiences.
Research shows that around 90% of consumers read online reviews before deciding where to spend their money, and many trust those reviews almost as much as recommendations from friends and family.
That's exactly why fake reviews matter.
Customers rely on reviews to make informed choices. When people are buying and selling reviews, everybody loses.
We'll never pay for reviews.
The 5-star reviews make our day. The less positive reviews help us get better. Both are valuable because they're genuine.
So, to everyone who has taken the time to leave us an honest review, thank you. Whether you've praised our fish, commented on our chips or suggested something we could do better, your feedback means more to us than any review money could buy. It's earned, one customer at a time.
