So, Google is posting reviews in their local search. Any qualifying criteria, or minimum number of reveiws to achieve this?

I've only got 9 but people with 10+ seem to have their reviews featured on Google.

About time really tbh seeing as the only way to get Google reviews is if you have a Gmail account.

We have over 70 freeindex reviews but google isn't showing them on our google places listing. I've read some inbfo on this and the general consensus is that reviews won't show until google gets round to trawling the sites where tyhe revies are placed. Is there anything i can do to speed things up, maybe place something on our google places account???
