What customers in Zürich see before they call you
Before someone in Zürich calls a business they have not used before, they look at Google: the map, the stars, the latest reviews. This is what the businesses Google showed first had when we checked on 13 November 2026.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Range of reviews |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restaurants | 4,907 | 4.6 | 122 – 14,954 |
| Dentists | 573 | 4.8 | 237 – 1,165 |
| Hair salons | 269 | 4.9 | 106 – 399 |
| Car repair garages | 89 | 4.7 | 54 – 405 |
If your numbers are far below the middle value for your trade, that is usually the first thing to fix. The method and the full data are in our review benchmark.
