Google Reviews are very essential as they serve as your social proof of your business. Reviews help you build a strong backbone for your business reputation online. And with good reviews, people are more likely to trust in your business. Plus, reviews help you rank better in search engine results.

Aside from making sure that you satisfy and meet your customers’ needs, what are the ways you can entice your customers to leave you a review in Google?

Here are 3 quick and easy ways to do it!

Be visible

Make yourself visible to your customers by listing your business in Google My Business. With Google My Business, customers can easily find you via Google Maps, Google+ and of course in Google Searches.

When you are visible to your customers, they are more likely to do business with you and leave you a review on Google.

Furthermore, promote your Google My Business in all your social media platforms as well. Or better yet create a post, inviting all followers to check your Google listing.

Be Vocal

Don’t be shy to ask your past and current customers for reviews. Let them know that you value their opinion and feedback about your services or products.

You can do this by sending them an email or as soon as they purchase or avail of your services. And don’t forget to make it clear to them where they can leave their reviews to.

Moreover, don’t forget to create engagement when you have received responses and reviews. Acknowledge all of their opinions whether positive or negative.

Be creative

There are many ways you can ask your customers for feedback and one of them is to incentivize your reviews.

Give your customers a compelling reason to leave a review on your listing. It could be by giving them discounts or coupons once they leave a review.

Virtually, it could be anything that you can do to incentivize your reviews. There is no limit. Just make sure that your incentive is compelling enough so your customers will take action.

Whatever actions you want to take, after all, good reviews still boil down to customers’ satisfaction. Because no matter how you promote or incentivize your reviews, if they believe that you don’t deserve a positive review, they will never give it to you.
