50% of shoppers start their product searches at Amazon, compared to only 31% at Google, according to a 2023 report by PowerReviews.
One of the key reasons, according to the report which is based on a survey of 8,153 U.S. consumers, is the prevalence of reviews:
99.5% of shoppers research online before purchasing some of the time. And nearly 87% do so regularly or always.
- 77% of shoppers specifically seek out websites with ratings and reviews.
- Nine in 10 consumers say they consider reviews when making a purchase decision.
- Nearly half (45%) of consumers won’t purchase a product if there are no reviews available for it.
