Is your business in the service industry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have zero reviews on Google or 3 stars or below? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you answered ‘yes’, then you are losing sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not enough to be at the top in Google anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have to be at the top AND have numerous positive\nreviews. This is crucial in the service industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing someone does before calling up a contractor,\nlandscaper, electrician, plumber, etc, is look them up on Google and see what\ntheir reviews are. If you have no reviews or an average of three or less you\nwill be skipped, and the prospect will go with a competitor who has better reviews.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s look at some easy ways you can start getting your\nGoogle Reviews now: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One: project completion\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As a service provider, the easiest and most effective way\nyou can get reviews is at the completion of the job. Have the foreman,\ntechnician or whoever deals with your customer, ask for a review right then,\neither just before the customer pays or just after they pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Two: Email Follow up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who did not do a review after completing the job,\nyou must, must send an email request, later that day, with a link to your\nGoogle My Business page. Send another follow up email one week later to those\nwho still haven’t reviewed. The longer you wait the less likely they will be to\nactually write the review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Three: Piggy-back off\nnewsletters <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All your newsletters and promotional emails should have a\nlink at the bottom, which asks the reader to give you a review on Google. While\nthis may not result in many reviews it is very fast to implement, free and runs\non automatic, so you may as well do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Four: Excavate old\nlists<\/strong>\n\nRoll\nup your sleeves and go through the last several years of customer testimonials\n(assuming you’ve been keeping them on file) and make a list. Then call and\nemail them, telling them that you recently saw the awesome testimonial they\nwrote, and you wanted to thank them and ask them if they would be willing to\nwrite that testimonial again, but this time as a Google Review. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is your business in the service industry?
