When Tushar started Chotu Tapriwala, it wasn’t just about tea. He wanted to build something that felt like home, a place where people connect over chai.

But what really stood out? The role Google reviews played in growing his small business.

“We saw your reviews on Google, and that’s why we came.”

That one line says it all. Reviews create trust before a customer even walks in. Today, they have over 2,000 reviews, and it’s not just a vanity number.

Tushar reads every review. He replies. He adapts. That’s how their menu expanded, their service improved, and their brand grew.

They didn’t just build a tea shop: they built a community, both offline and online.

This story is a perfect reminder for every small business: if you’re not treating reviews as a growth tool, you’re falling behind.

Because yes, India runs on chai.

But modern chaiwalas? They run on reviews.

Clicks don’t pay the bills. Trust does.

You can run great looking ads on Instagram or Facebook. Sharp visuals. Killer copy. Perfect targeting.

But if people don’t trust you, they won’t convert.

Here’s a quick example.

You’re scrolling Instagram and see a Rs.2000 sneaker ad from a random page. Would you buy it? Probably not.

You’ll wonder:

Is this brand legit?

Will I get what I pay for?

What if it’s a scam?

That’s exactly how your potential customers feel.

We worked with a coaching brand spending Rs.50,000 per month on Facebook ads. They were getting plenty of clicks, but very few conversions.

Here’s what changed:

We added short retargeting videos with helpful tips. Shared real client case studies. Used WhatsApp to answer leads’ questions in real time.

Within two months, more consults were booked. Cost per lead dropped. More deals closed.

Why? Because people started to trust them.

If your ads aren’t converting, ask yourself. Would I trust my own brand if I saw it for the first time?

Trust isn’t built in one click. It’s built in every follow up, every post, every small detail.

Attention is cheap. Trust is rare. And it’s the only thing that converts.

Why Some Businesses Should Stop Posting on Instagram

You’re told, “You have to be on Instagram.”

So you post. Every week. Maybe daily.

A few likes, a couple of comments… then silence.

Here’s the truth no one tells you: Instagram might be the wrong channel for your business.

We've advised ecommerce, D2C, B2B, and coaching clients to pause Instagram—and in most cases, it helped them grow faster.

Why?

Because Instagram is no longer a content-first platform.

If you're not running ads or chasing viral trends, your reach is capped.

Even worse, your audience might not even be potential buyers.

Likes don’t equal leads.

We helped one D2C brand triple ROAS by quitting Instagram and focusing on Meta ads and landing pages.

We helped a coach close their biggest deal in Q2 by ditching Reels and investing in long-form LinkedIn content.

Ask yourself:

Is Instagram bringing in sales—or just engagement?

Where is your audience spending time with intent?

Are you posting for growth or just to stay busy?

Sometimes, the smartest move is to stop posting.

In marketing, subtraction often beats addition.

A business owner recently told me:

“We want to run Instagram ads to get more followers.”
I hear this all the time.

And sure, it sounds logical:

More followers = more credibility = more sales… right?

Wrong.

Here’s the truth:

Chasing followers isn’t a real strategy.

You could spend ₹5,000, gain 3,000 followers, and still see:

Zero engagement

Zero sales

Zero ROI

Because followers ≠ customers.

The Follower Trap: Vanity vs. Value

Social media tricks us into thinking more = better.

More likes, more shares, more followers…

But here’s what actually matters:

Who’s visiting your website?

Who’s signing up?

Who’s buying?

Your bank account doesn’t care about follower counts.
It cares about action.

500 Leads > 50,000 Ghost Followers

Would you rather have:

→ 500 real people who engage and buy
→ Or 50,000 silent followers who do nothing?

Easy choice.

Quality > quantity. Every time.

So Where Should Your Ad Budget Go?

Lead Gen – Drive people to your offer or landing page.

Value Content – Share helpful tips, client wins, and insights.

Retargeting – Show ads to people who actually engaged with you.

Track Real Results – Focus on signups, calls, and sales—not just likes.

Before You Boost Another Post, Ask Yourself:

What do I want from this ad—vanity or value?

What happens after someone follows me?

Do I have a plan to turn attention into action?

If not, stop. Rethink.

Because it’s not about attention. It’s about action.

You can have:

50,000 followers and no sales

Or 500 followers and a full pipeline

The difference is strategy.

Next time someone says,

“We just need more followers,”

ask: Why?

Let’s stop chasing numbers.
Let’s start building real growth.

As a local SEO expert, I always stress the importance of Google reviews for building trust and improving search visibility. But one of the biggest challenges that businesses face is getting customers to actually leave a review.

Most walk-in customers don’t want to type in a long link manually, and handing them a printed URL rarely works and is not a sensible option.

Well, Google just made it easier! You can now generate a custom QR code for your Google Business Profile review link. Simply print and display it at your store’s reception, on product packaging, your website, or even social media! Customers can scan it in seconds and leave a review effortlessly.

Do NOT underestimate the power of reviews.

More reviews = Higher rankings + More trust + More sales! 💰📈

Started working with a Boutique client which had a local store. They did not have a number, zero calls, few clients, and zero visibility.

December 6 Calls / January 14 calls / Feb 17 calls
