Why Is My Google Rating Not Changing After New Reviews?

Once you have a lot of reviews, each new one barely moves the average, that is just the maths. Going from 4.3 to 4.4 with 300 reviews takes dozens of fresh fives.

Other causes: the review is still processing, it was filtered as suspicious, or a low review arrived at the same time and cancelled the gain. Check your total count is actually rising.

If the number feels stuck, the fix is a steadier flow of genuine reviews, not waiting on one or two.
