Hit 500 reviews on Google Maps and one local business blew up overnight

Was just logging my 500th business visit review last Tuesday and noticed a taco truck in Fresno went from 12 to 89 reviews in a week after I posted a photo of their shrimp burrito, so has anyone else seen a single post actually change a place's foot traffic?

Honestly I bet that taco truck already had a line around the block and the reviews just caught up. A single photo isnt gonna flip foot traffic in a week unless the algorithm randomly boosted them or someone local posted it in a Fresno food group. Ive seen places with 200 reviews stay dead and spots with 10 reviews stay packed. Correlation isnt causation, you know? Like my cousin swears his one Yelp review saved a barbershop but turns out the owner just started running $5 cuts on Tuesdays.
