Google reviews
How to get Google reviews for your business. - Here are 10 steps / tips.
It's simple, but it definitely isn't easy and my experience is that it is a very slow burn.
Step 1: You need to build your Google Business profile
Step 2: Build up a client base
Step 3: Deliver excellent service
Step 4: Ask your clients to post a review (when you are confident that it will be a glowing one!)
Step 5: Respond to your reviews
Step 6: Advertise / promote your positive reviews on social channels
Step 7: You can invite clients and colleagues to post review by sending a direct link - example in the comments below
Step 8: Add the review link to your website
Step 9: Invest in review generation tools
Step 10: Regularly update your Google Business profile
A client of mine recently received a positive review about one the employees, and so I duly posted about it on their social channels and the response was great, so Step 5 really is worth doing.
Google clearly think that the system works, but my experience is that its much easier to get testimonials that can be posted on your website and to build a LinkedIn Company page (also not that easy) and to promote awareness of your business, goods and service through that.
