We’ve talked A LOT lately about Facebook. Let’s take a break and revisit another popular topic: how to get reviews on your Google listing.
This is a #1 sure fire way to increase traffic to your website.
There are two big secrets to getting reviews….
- You have to ask.
- You have to know when to ask.
No one is going to just give you a review…unless they are mad….but we don’t want those reviews.
What Sort of Works
A mass email to all your clients from the past 2 years will create limited results of only 1 or 2 reviews, which isn’t bad, but long-term you want to create an ongoing solution to continue getting fresh new reviews. Remember: Know. Like. Trust.
What REALLY Works
Think about when your client has the potential to be happiest with you….
Plumbers: a service call that went well? Send an email the same day asking them for a review
Chiropractors: a visit that left someone feeling much better? Same day email asking for a review
Lawyers: a long-term client came in for an estate meeting and left feeling at peace? Email them the. same. day.
Like most things in business – slow and consistent yields the best results. Put a system in place to reach out to clients after a successful interaction with your business for a review.
We have done this at Mavidea, and it works…ever since adding this small step to ask at the right time, and individually – our reviews frequency has increased.
