Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”How to get more reviews” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With 88% of people putting as much trust in reviews as they do personal recommendations, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to spread the good word (Invespcro<\/a>). Here are some tactics to make your Google review sticker more accessible to users.<\/p>\n If the whole point of using “Review us on Google” stickers is to drive more online reviews, it only makes sense that it needs to be easy for customers to find and review your client\u2019s business. It might seem a bit like hand-holding, but the easier you make it for a customer, the more likely they are to leave a review.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re asking for reviews while they\u2019re online, make sure you hyperlink the exact place you want them to go. Your client can even get a short, shareable link directly from their Google Business Profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n While logged in, click “Home” from the left-hand menu, select “Get more reviews,” and copy the URL.<\/p>\n While you\u2019re at it, it\u2019s a good idea to make sure all emails and websites are optimized for mobile since 55% of people will be accessing your request from their phones (BroadbandSearch.net<\/a>). Remember to keep all requests polite, friendly, and grounded in gratitude.<\/p>\n Keep your Google sticker copy vague and let the customers decide what they want to say. If your sticker copy only asks for five-star reviews, users may interpret that as the business only wanting positive reviews, which makes the business come across as disingenuous.<\/p>\n Instead of requesting a five-star rating, just ask customers for their feedback. Not only does this allow and encourage more honest reviews, but it also opens opportunities to get more Google reviews<\/a> with a wider spectrum of comments, feedback, and experiences.<\/p>\n You should always have a reputation management strategy in place to respond to good and bad reviews<\/a>. Likewise, it\u2019s also important to look for common issues your client\u2019s business faces and find a way to resolve them so their reputation improves with customers and prospects.<\/p>\n Potential customers will see you responding and be more likely to still make a purchase. If the customer has a legitimate complaint, take swift action and respond to their review directly. Once their issue has been solved, you can reach out and ask them if they would consider updating their review. Consumers are often more than happy to do so when they feel heard, and their issue has been taken care of.<\/p>\n Ideally, we want to avoid bad reviews<\/a> in the first place. If your client is receiving repeat negative reviews for the same issue, it\u2019s safe to assume it will continue to happen until the problem is solved from within the business. Consider these reviews free market research: the customer is letting you know what\u2019s not working, so you can address it, solve it, and move forward.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Look into reputation management software” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Getting reviews isn\u2019t quite<\/em> as simple as printing off a few “Review us on Google” stickers, but it doesn\u2019t need to be a pain point for your clients either.
