Do online reviews affect what AI says about my business?
Yes. Reviews are the evidence assistants weigh when deciding who to name and, just as important, how to describe you. A business with steady recent reviews gets named with confidence. One with a thin or stale review base gets skipped or hedged.
It goes beyond the star count. Assistants read what reviewers say. Fast, clean, fixed it right shows up in how the AI frames you. So the words your customers use become your description.
Recency matters because the assistant wants current evidence. A strong 2023 review base with silence since reads as a business that may have changed.
The move is the same one that wins the map pack: ask every happy customer, right after the job, and reply like a human. One habit now feeds two scoreboards.
