Why it matters here

Review count is the single strongest signal most customers use to choose between two businesses they don't know. Recency matters nearly as much — a wall of five-star reviews from 2019 reads as a business that stopped trying.

Someone's hungry, nearby, and scrolling. They're looking at your photos, today's hours, and whether the menu loads. Anything missing and they're at the next place on the list.

This one is compared on the same rubric for every trade. We haven't written restaurants-specific benchmarks for it yet.
