Reviews are a crucial factor in SEO, especially for local businesses and service providers. Positive reviews significantly enhance your local SEO and can directly influence your visibility in search results. While SEO is multifaceted and also depends on factors like website optimization and market competitiveness, a positive rating with numerous reviews often plays a major role in boosting your online presence.
For LocaRatings to maximize its impact, your business ideally should have a steady flow of jobs or a history of past clients to send review requests to. The more actively you engage with your clients for reviews, the more likely you are to create a snowball effect: more reviews can lead to more clients, which in turn leads to even more reviews and further growth. This cycle is pivotal in building a strong online reputation and enhancing your market presence.

HIPAA compliance requires infrastructure changes, extensive recurring audits and a BAA (Business Associate Agreement) with each one of the partners. It is an expensive and complex process.
It does not take much to commit a violation. If the customer leaves a review on Google on their own, it is their own business. Soliciting reviews through a platform such as LocaRatings involves sending PHI through a 3rd party software (not the covered entity) that needs to be compliant. Even sending a name through the platform (when making the review solicitation) would be a violation.
Please do not use the platform in any way that might violate HIPPA.
