Best-rated products on category page

Customer reviews play a great role in the customer journey. You can use them for your advantage with recommendations. If properly used, they can significantly increase the conversion rate and revenue. This is because customers are more likely to use the services of a company which presents an offer that best suits their needs and preferences, and they pay as much attention to good online reviews.
