In 2021, that trend accelerated, further cementing online reviews as an essential part of any business\u2019 online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a full understanding of the latest review trends, Birdeye analyzed the review data of global businesses over 2021 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/resources\/guides\/the-2022-state-of-online-reviews\/\">2022 state of online reviews report<\/a>. In this article, we will walk through three of the most significant online review trends from this report that you need to know to stay ahead of your competition in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021\">1. Massive increase in online reviews in 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 saw the most significant increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/online-reviews\/\">online reviews<\/a> to date, with a massive 10% increase compared to single-digit years in the past. For this reason, 2021 can truly be called \u201cthe year of reviews.\u201d A jump in online reviews this significant is an indication of the consumers&#8217; need to be heard by businesses in a marketplace that is increasingly getting digitally transformed and becoming more and more contactless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021.png\" alt=\"Bar graph showing 10% increase in online reviews from the 2022 State of online reviews report from Birdeye\" class=\"wp-image-36524\" style=\"width:900px;height:471px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021.png 1200w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Massive-increase-in-online-reviews-in-2021-375x195.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business\">What does this insight mean for your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the course of the pandemic, everything shifted to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalcommerce360.com\/internet-retailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">digital-first marketplace<\/a>. As a result, customers found it easier and more convenient to do all of their research, interact with the business, ask questions and purchase online. This led consumers to be significantly more reliant on online reviews to make their decisions and voice their opinions of the products and services they purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These review trends simply mean more reviews mean increased visibility and an improved <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/online-reputation-management\/\">online reputation management<\/a>. That means if your competition is getting more reviews than you, they\u2019re outranking you and getting more customer attention. In order to compete, you have to capitalize on <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-generation\/\">getting more reviews<\/a> by sending review requests to your customers on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-more-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively\">2. More businesses are requesting reviews proactively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this study, businesses across all industries sent 15% more review requests in 2021 compared to the previous year. With 35% of consumers leaving reviews when asked at least half of the time, and 12% leaving reviews <em>every time<\/em> when asked, this simply means one thing: the more requests you send, the more reviews you\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively.png\" alt=\"Bar graph showing the review trends of Birdeye's 2022 state of online reviews\" class=\"wp-image-36529\" style=\"width:900px;height:471px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively.png 1200w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/More-businesses-are-requesting-reviews-proactively-375x195.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business-0\">What does this insight mean for your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Online reviews are critical to rank higher on search engines and reach more potential customers. Therefore, you need to make review requests an essential part of your marketing strategy. Not only that, you need to request reviews from every customer you have the opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Automating review requests is a scalable way to grow your online reviews. Automating review requests can allow you to reach each and every customer and ask them for a review at any critical transaction moment like a purchase or closing of a service ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/online-reputation-management\/\">reputation management platform<\/a> like Birdeye can not only help you automate your requests, it can also give your customers the option to leave a review on their most preferred channels with links to review sites in your requests and request methods like text, email, and even social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before\">3. Businesses are responding to reviews more than ever before<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a massive spike in the number of online reviews, businesses have been more cognizant of when and how to respond to their <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/review-management\/\">customer reviews<\/a> than in any previous year. In fact, our review trends show that 41% of reviews were responded to in 2021 compared to just 28% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before.png\" alt=\"Bar graph of responses from businesses to customer reviews from Birdeye's 2022 state of online reviews\" class=\"wp-image-36531\" style=\"width:900px;height:471px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before.png 1200w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Businesses-are-responding-to-reviews-more-than-ever-before-375x195.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business-1\">What does this insight mean for your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers often respond positively to businesses that make them feel valued and heard. Whether thanking a customer for a positive review or correcting an issue after a negative review, a personalized review response can be an effective way to interact with customers. The study revealed that 63% of reviews were responded to manually by businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_.png\" alt=\"Pie graph showing automatic vs manual review responses from Birdeye's 2022 state of online reviews\" class=\"wp-image-36533\" style=\"width:900px;height:471px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_.png 1200w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/What-does-this-insight-mean-for-your-business_-375x195.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-want-more-read-the-full-report\">Want more?
