How many 5-star reviews to reach your goal?
Type what Google shows today and the rating you'd like. We'll do the math.
How we figure it
Google shows one decimal. A true average of 4.75 or more usually shows as 4.8. So the target we solve for is the rating you'd like, minus 0.05.
New reviews needed = (reviews today × (target − rating today)) ÷ (new-review average − target), rounded up.
This is math, not a promise. Real reviews won't all be 5 stars, and that's fine. Ask every client the same way — never only the happy ones.
Example — not a real firm. 23 reviews at 4.5. Goal: 4.8. That's about 23 more 5-star reviews. At one note per finished job, that's a year of steady asking for many firms — not a campaign.
Turn the number into a habit
Most firms don't need a burst of reviews. They need one short note after each finished job, every time. Pick your finish lines. Write a note you'd sign. Read it before it goes.
Good Work Reviews drafts that note after the work is done. You approve it. Nothing reaches a client until you say yes. — Like having a professional on staff whose only job is asking for reviews and referrals — without a full-time hire.

Is it OK to ask clients for reviews?
Yes. Asking is fine. Paying for reviews, writing fake ones, or asking only happy clients is not.
