Online reviews have become vital for businesses due to their influence on customer buying behaviours. 60% of customers check app ratings before they install an app. By looking at other people’s opinions, they are able to better understand what the app is really like.


The ratings and reviews of apps play a significant role in building online credibility in today's cutting-edge business environment. Regardless of whether someone reviews online takeaway or ecommerce applications, a good rating will help in the growth of any business. Positive app reviews can reduce acquisition costs and increase organic installs. Reviews of the app or business by other users will influence a buyer's decision. In contrast, the negative reviews weaken the buyer’s decision to purchase from a business.


ReviewTrackers, in a report published in 2018 says 94% of customers avoided a business after reading negative reviews online. Moreover, 80% of customers do not interact with a business having a rating lower than 4.0 stars. Apps can help with customer satisfaction by providing a frictionless customer service, convenience, and personalisation. This is important with helping a business to receive the best reviews possible.


The reasons for a business to use mobile app reviews includes:


Reviews Guide Purchasing Behaviour – Looking to others to affirm the making of a smart decision is what’s known as social proof. Apps that display positive social proof are more likely to be downloaded by customers. According to Apptentive, People value the opinions of others when choosing apps. 70% of people read at least one app review before installing the mobile app they want.


Reviews Boost Conversion Rates - Responding to reviews can improve an app’s appeal and discoverability. When replying to user feedback, it demonstrates that a business is listening. If users feel heard, they’ll be more likely to engage in a dialogue about a product. This can increase a business's number of positive reviews and, in turn, lift conversion rates. 


Reviews Improve Your Product - The best apps integrate user feedback. Customers want an efficient app experience, so any bugs or lagging will damage a business’s ratings. Gathering reviews and integrating the recommended changes will help a business create an app that inspires loyalty. Attention to detail will also help a business to mitigate the risk of future negative reviews. For example, a business should prioritize any repetitive feedback. This indicates an issue common amongst all users, though only a handful chimed in.


A business must create opportunities for leaving feedback and incentivize this process. If a business treats app reviews as a cornerstone of success, reviews, ranking, and download volume will benefit.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch.
