Reviews · Newmarket
Asking properly,
in Newmarket.
In Newmarket the median business has 31 Google reviews and the quiet quarter of the market sits under 7. 124 have none at all — for them the first ten matter more than the next hundred ever will.
We did not sample Newmarket — all 1,477 listings were checked, and each fault was counted on the page itself rather than estimated from a tool.
The moment matters more than the wording
The time to ask is when the work has just been finished and the customer is pleased. A week later that moment has gone. We set the ask up so it happens then, by whatever route that customer already uses.
Nothing bought, nothing screened
We do not buy reviews and we do not filter out the customers likely to be unhappy before asking. Both are against Google policy, both are detectable in the pattern, and the listing is usually worth more than the website.
What a realistic target looks like in Newmarket
Getting past 31 puts you in the upper half of this market. Getting past 110 puts you in the top quarter. Catching the 9,879 at the top took that business years and is not a first-year target.

Questions
Straight answers.
How many Google reviews do I need in Newmarket?
The median across 1,477 Newmarket businesses is 31; the top quarter is past 110. Those numbers are not comparable between trades — a count that is exceptional for an accountant is unremarkable for a restaurant.
Does a 5.0 rating look fake?
Above about fifty reviews, a perfect score starts to read as filtered. 727 businesses in Newmarket already hold 4.9 or better, so a high rating is table stakes here rather than a differentiator.
