A larger existing review count reduces each new rating's effect on the average. Review the actual feedback, protect customer privacy, and respond with verified facts.
This tool calculates rating averages only. It does not estimate lost leads or revenue. Displayed starting ratings may be rounded; exact underlying rating totals can differ. Customers choose their own ratings without incentives or pressure.
What this assumed
- Only weighted rating averages are calculated. Lead and revenue effects cannot be determined from ratings alone.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
