For agencies managing local SEO, one truth remains constant: Google rewards momentum.
It’s not just how many reviews a business has — it’s how often they get them.
That’s called review velocity, and it’s one of the most underrated ranking factors in local search optimization.
What Is Review Velocity?
Review velocity measures how frequently new reviews appear over time.
A business with 200 reviews from two years ago will rank lower than a business that earns 20 fresh reviews every month.
Why? Google’s algorithm interprets recency and consistency as trust signals.
Why Agencies Struggle With Review Management
Most agencies encourage clients to “get more reviews” but lack an automated system to make it happen.
Clients forget to ask, or ask inconsistently.
That breaks the velocity curve and erodes ranking gains.
LaunchSMS Gives Agencies the Edge
LaunchSMS fixes that problem by automating review requests the moment a job closes.
For agencies, that means:
✅ Consistent Review Flow — every client keeps fresh activity on Google.
✅ Custom Templates per Brand — maintain voice and tone per client.
✅ Agency Dashboard — view review stats across all accounts in one place.
The SEO Impact of Velocity
A BrightLocal study found:
-
Businesses gaining 10+ new reviews per month appear in Google’s top 3 local pack 58% more often.
-
Review frequency correlates directly with higher map visibility and click-through rates.
That means agencies can prove measurable ROI — not just traffic or clicks, but tangible movement in local rankings.
A Retention Strategy That Sells Itself
When agencies show clients monthly review growth charts, they turn abstract SEO into visible, relatable wins.
That builds confidence — and renewals.
