Why Window Fitters need Google reviews

According to BrightLocal's 2024 Local Consumer Review Survey, 97% of consumers read online reviews before hiring a local tradesperson. For window fitters, this means that nearly every potential customer is checking Google before making a call. 71% of consumers use Google specifically to find and compare local businesses, making it the most important platform for window fitters to build their reputation.

68% of consumers require a business to have a rating of 4 stars or higher before they will consider using it. Only 10% of customers leave a Google review without being asked — but 83% will leave one when sent a direct link. This is the gap that TapReview fills for window fitters.

45% of consumers now use AI tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity for local business recommendations. These AI systems source information primarily from Google Business Profiles and Google reviews. Reviews on Checkatrade, Trustpilot, or Facebook are largely invisible to AI recommendation engines.
