How to spot it

You only appear after scrolling

Search for your service and your town yourself. Where do you rank?

Competitors have more and fresher reviews

Google explicitly names reviews as a factor in a business's prominence.

Your profile is incomplete

Missing opening hours, old photos, no posts.

Reviews go unanswered

An active profile looks more trustworthy to customers and to Google.

Example scenario

An example: the salon on a side street

Stylist styling a client's hair in front of a mirror

The starting point

A hair salon with excellent work sits on a side street. Anyone searching Google Maps for a hairdresser nearby first sees three salons with far more reviews and more active profiles.

How it works with SOCIAL PROOF

  1. 01

    The competitor comparison shows how the salon compares with nearby salons on reviews, average rating and recency.

  2. 02

    After every appointment a short request goes out via WhatsApp, and an NFC stand sits at reception.

  3. 03

    Every new review gets a reply, and opening hours and posts are managed directly from the platform.

The profile becomes more active and the number of recent reviews grows. These are exactly the signals a business can influence itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee me a spot in the top three?

No, nobody can honestly promise that. Google ranks by relevance, distance and prominence. Reviews and a well-maintained profile are the factors you can influence yourself, and that is exactly where SOCIAL PROOF helps.

How can I see where I stand today?

The free reputation check shows your current position and your reviews compared with businesses near you. In the platform you track this continuously in the competitor comparison.

Does replying to reviews help?

Yes. Replies show customers and Google an active business. Google explicitly recommends that businesses reply to reviews.

How long until I rank higher?

That cannot be predicted honestly, because it also depends on your competitors. Local ranking is a long-distance run: businesses that keep collecting and answering reviews extend their lead month by month.
