How many five-star reviews does it take to move your Google rating? Put in your numbers. It's simple maths, and nothing you type leaves this page.
Google shows ratings with one decimal and doesn't publish how it rounds, so these numbers are close, not exact. We treat the rating you enter as your exact average and assume every new review is five stars.
Why the number gets bigger
The higher your average, the more one bad review costs. To fully cancel out a 1-star review takes 3 five-stars at a 4.0 average, 7 at 4.5 and 19 at 4.8. The rating Google shows has one decimal, so it can move at a slightly different point than the average underneath. That's why a steady flow of reviews matters more than a good month.
Questions
Do I need to sign up?
No. It's free and works right here on the page.
Where do I find my rating and number of reviews?
Search your business on Google Maps. Both numbers are next to your name.
Can I delete a bad review instead?
Only Google can remove a review, and only if it breaks Google's rules. For most businesses, the practical fix is more honest reviews from real customers.
Is this exact?
Close, not exact. Google shows one decimal, so your real average could be slightly higher or lower than the rating you see.
