5 Apps To Grow Product Reviews on Your Shopify Store

"A person’s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

This quote is from Dale Carnegie. He wrote it in 1936 in his classic book: How to Win Friends and Influence People. In one chapter, he emphasises that "the average person is more interested in their own name than in all the other names in the world put together." Using names is powerful.

Product Reviews to boost sales

If you want to sell more, you have to display names, therefore reviews of customers close to your products. The visitors who leave positive reviews will most likely come back, check their reviews just to have a look at their names (ego), and potentially buy again.

New visitors will see that Peter, Jack, Susan and Jenny bought from you already. So why not them? Remember, it's easier to jump into a crowded pool than into an empty one.

Product reviews, and when you have lots of them, drive sales.

Product Reviews to improve SEO ranking

They also drive traffic. When your customers leave product reviews, they also generate extra content on your page. This extra content will be indexed by search engines and your SEO ranking will improve.

It is also a tool for you because the language your customers use when they leave a review is similar to the language potential new users type on Google. Product reviews might be a good chance to improve your ranking for long tail searches.
