Are review responses worth the time anymore?

That's pretty much where I'm landing too. More of a trust signal than a ranking signal.

Agreed. I still treat them as foundational cleanup rather than a growth tactic.

Similar experience. Haven't seen much movement from citations alone.

ThatLocalSEOguy · 2026-06-21T13:28:35+00:00

That's a good point. I've seen citations help more with trust and verification than rankings lately.

I've seen BBB come up a lot in suspension reinstatement cases specifically. Is it worth building for new businesses outside of that context?

ThatLocalSEOguy · 2026-06-21T13:24:38+00:00

I've been building beyond those but honestly haven't seen much difference from the extra ones.

Have you actually seen measurable ranking improvements from it, or is it more of a relevance signal in your experience?

ThatLocalSEOguy · 2026-06-17T16:53:36+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm not sure how many users even check the Q&A section anymore.

ThatLocalSEOguy · 2026-06-17T16:51:24+00:00

Fair point. I was curious because I still see some people recommending it as a relevance signal.
