# Online reviews blog

Online reviews blog: Google reviews and customer comments carry weight in a buyer's decision before they ever dial your number or walk through your door. This section of the blog gathers our articles on online reputation, starting with what Google's policy and Canadian law actually allow when it comes to asking for a review. It is written for owners and managers of small businesses across Greater Montreal and Quebec, restaurants, clinics, salons, merchants and home service providers, who want to understand what drives their reputation before they act, with explanations grounded in real situations rather than generic advice. For hands-on help, our reputation management service picks up the day-to-day follow-through when you would rather delegate it. Unsure about a term in a post? Our glossary explains digital marketing terms in plain language, without the jargon.
