        "text": "Asking for reviews in the right way and then responding to them thoughtfully helps Alexa trust your business more and recommend you for competitive queries.\n\nAlexa leans on review volume and quality from sources like Google and Yelp.\n\nKey factors:\n- Make review requests part of your standard post-service or checkout process\n- Aim for steady review growth rather than occasional bursts\n- Respond to both positive and negative reviews to show you’re active and engaged\n- Keep your NAP consistent so reviews attach to the correct business profile\n\nFocus on authentic reviews from real customers, and never try to game the system with fake or incentivized feedback.\nHealthy review activity is one of the strongest signals you can send into Alexa’s ecosystem.",
