About Us

We are Why Rate Google. It is our mission to provide a straightforward platform for business owners to openly and frankly discuss their experiences with Google My Business. We find this service to be invaluable on a number of levels.

You already know how important Google My Business can be to the ongoing health of your business. Introduced over a decade ago as Google+ Local, Google My Business quickly became a game-changer. It is still the most widely-used review system on the internet, with a sizable edge over competitors such as Yelp and Facebook. This is particularly true in the context of volume. There are more reviews on Google than anywhere else. While the number of reviews being submitted to Google can be beneficial to the business, this sliver of Google’s larger empire is not without problems. You can find a good example of this in terms of how difficult it can be to dispute or remove a negative review from Google.

Google My Business is a useful tool. Yet troubleshooting problems with the service, or even discussing experiences among other business owners, are both difficult to achieve. This is where we come in.

With Why Rate Google, you have an arena beyond Google in which to discuss your feelings about its impact on your business. To that end, we welcome you to our site, and hope you find it useful in optimizing your business.
