What is the difference between “Google Reviews” and “Customer Reviews”? 
Although the name and concept is similar, there is a key difference. It is that in the reviews of Google results, anyone can leave their opinion for any type of business. So they can be written by both a real customer and one that is not.
On the other hand, the new format of Customer Reviews is the new system where the opinions published by customer are verified and it is verified that the person has made a legitimate purchase on the website of the company. Therefore, this type of reviews or opinions will only be available for businesses that have an online store.
In addition, the new customer reviews program allows businesses to customize with more options the appearance and information of your company. It will also enable better account management tools and provide more information about vendors.
