What Is Review Recency?

What Is Review Recency?

How recently a business has received new reviews. Search engines and consumers both weight recent reviews more heavily than older ones. A business with 200 reviews that are all over a year old may be outranked by a competitor with 50 reviews from the last three months. Maintaining a steady flow of fresh reviews is critical for both search rankings and consumer trust.
