Google Review ROI • GoldReviews.ca

How much are your Google reviews quietly donating to competitors?

Use your own numbers to see a conservative estimate of what staying stuck on Google is likely costing you every month. No data is stored — everything runs in your browser.

Step 1: Plug in your numbers

Rough estimates are fine. We’ll keep everything conservative.

Helps you think in terms of your real market, but not used to store anything.

From Google / online. Rough estimate is fine — many local businesses see anywhere from 20 to 200+ a month.

Just your best guess. This helps us estimate how much “drag” low reviews are creating.

Typical bill for one visit / appointment / order.

Rough average. We’ll convert this to a simple lifetime value estimate.

These are conservative estimates — not guarantees or “bro math”.

Step 2: What staying stuck is likely costing you

Based on your inputs and typical patterns we see across local businesses.

Local visibility lift

How much more you could show up on Google Maps and in local searches.

Estimated monthly donation to competitors

Lifetime revenue from customers likely choosing higher-rated competitors instead of you each month.

Rough payback on a $5,000 review system

Approximate time to recover a $5,000 investment at these numbers.

Cost of waiting 6 months

What staying in the same position for the next 6 months is likely to cost in lifetime value.

Conservative math behind these estimates

  • We map your current rating to a baseline conversion rate and compare it to a realistic target rating (usually 4.5–4.8★).
  • We estimate your average customer lifetime value from per-visit spend × typical visits per year over a simple repeat window.
  • We factor in review count, review pace, and how many of your new reviews are 4★ and below to estimate how much friction your reputation is creating.
  • We translate the improvement into extra customers per month and the value of those customers over a 3-year window.
Estimated conversion & volume improvement

These are directional numbers to help you think clearly about reputation — not a guarantee or formal forecast.

What this result actually means

Based on the estimates you entered, this shows how much customer lifetime value your current Google rating, review pace, and low-star reviews are likely pushing to competitors each month, and roughly how fast a stronger review system could pay for itself.
