Reading the scorecard

Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from hundreds of people carries more weight than the same rating from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
