Introduction: The Expensive Problem Most Edmonton Businesses Overlook
Whether you run a restaurant on Whyte Ave, a salon in Sherwood Park, a clinic in St. Albert, or a retail store in West Edmonton, Google reviews influence your reputation, your visibility, and your revenue. Yet most Edmonton business owners don’t realize how much money they lose simply because they aren’t collecting enough customer reviews.
You might have exceptional service. You might have loyal customers. But without consistent reviews, Google doesn’t reward your business—and potential customers don’t see the proof of value you provide.
That’s why Digitize Stands exists. Digitize Stands is a simple, contactless tap-or-scan solution created right here in Edmonton, designed to help businesses collect reviews instantly. Before we explore how Digitize Stands solves the problem, we need to look at the true hidden cost of not collecting reviews.
You Rank Lower on Google Maps (and Lose Local Customers)
WGoogle Reviews are one of the strongest ranking factors for local businesses. If your review count is low or inconsistent, Google assumes your business might not be active—or might not deliver strong experiences.
This directly affects your:
- Google Maps ranking
- Visibility in “near me” searches
- Discoverability in Edmonton neighbourhoods
- Website traffic
- In-store foot traffic
If you’re not collecting reviews consistently, you slide downward while competitors rise.
Digitize Stands solves this instantly. When customers can tap or scan Digitize Stands and leave a review in seconds, you build steady, continuous review activity—the exact signal Google uses to boost your rankings.

You Get Fewer Calls, Bookings, and Walk-Ins
DiLet’s say someone in Terwillegar is searching for a new dentist. They see:
- Clinic A: 4.8 stars • 215 reviews
- Clinic B: 4.8 stars • 22 reviews
Even with identical star ratings, Clinic A feels more trustworthy. More reviews = more credibility.
If your business doesn’t have enough reviews, customers will skip past you, even if your services are superior.
Digitize Stands helps fix this by capturing reviews when customers are already happy. Because Digitize Stands takes only seconds, the number of people who follow through increases dramatically—leading to more inquiries, more walk-ins, and more trust.
You Miss Out on Free Word-of-Mouth Marketing
Reviews are the digital version of “Hey, you should go here!”
But if customers aren’t leaving reviews, you’re losing:
- Social proof
- Brand awareness
- Organic referrals
- Free promotional visibility
Digitize Stands empowers you to collect dozens, even hundreds, of these micro-recommendations without asking customers to do anything difficult. The easier it is, the more likely it happens.
Negative Reviews Become More Damaging
Here’s a harsh truth:
If you don’t collect reviews consistently, the occasional negative review becomes a big deal.
A single 1-star review hurts more when you only have 15 reviews—but barely impacts a business with 300.
Digitize Stands helps dilute negativity by encouraging satisfied customers to share their positive experiences immediately. The more steady reviews you collect, the less impact negative feedback has on your overall score.
Competitors Look Stronger Online (Even if They’re Not)
In Edmonton’s competitive market—especially in commercial hubs like Windermere, Ellerslie, and Downtown—your competitors are actively collecting reviews.
And customers will choose the business that appears:
- More established
- More trusted
- More reviewed
- More active
Digitize Stands ensures you don’t fall behind. By placing Digitize Stands at your front counter, tables, waiting area, or checkout station, you instantly start building a review presence that makes you look like the leader in your industry.
The Revenue Loss Adds Up (Fast)
Even losing one customer a week due to a weak review profile can mean:
- $100/week = $5,200 per year
- $500/week = $26,000 per year
- $2,000/week = $104,000 per year
And many Edmonton businesses lose much more without realizing it.
Digitize Stands delivers reviews so quickly and consistently that this revenue leak stops almost immediately.
Customers Don’t Know You Want Reviews—Unless You Make It Obvious
Customers are willing to support you, but only if the process is simple, visible, and immediate. Most Edmonton businesses fail to capture reviews because they rely on:
- Hints
- Hopes
- Reminders
- Follow-up messages
Digitize Stands solves this by giving your customers a clear visual cue and an instant action. People see Digitize Stands, tap or scan, and they’re taken directly to your review page. No searching, no extra clicks.
Staff Feel Awkward Asking for Reviews (Digitize Stands Removes the Pressure)
Your team might feel uncomfortable saying, “Can you leave us a review?” Digitize Stands makes the ask non-verbal and natural.
Staff can simply say:
“Feel free to tap Digitize Stands if you’d like to leave feedback.”
It’s soft, polite, and incredibly effective.
