Get a Link to Review Your Company on Google, Get More Reviews

Getting more Google reviews is important for your business. It doesn’t have to be hard, and you don’t have to buy expensive tools to make it easy for people to review you. In fact, I think sending a heartfelt message can be just as effective.

If you make the emotional case, and reach out directly – people understand, and are much more likely to take the time to give you a review. Here’s how you get the link to review your company on Google in 3 easy steps.

Step One:

Look up the business in this tool.

Why do Google Reviews matter?

The first thing people look at when they Google your company is what your website looks like, what your reviews are like, and maybe what you’re blogging about and putting out on Social media.

• Ideal customers are looking for what your reviews are like so they can quickly assess if you’re trust-worthy
• At a glance, having a lot of Google reviews just makes it seem like your company has been around a long time.
• Google reviews actually play into the rankings of your site now!

The heartfelt plea:

If you’ve had a great experience, it would mean the world to us if you’d be able to take 2 minutes and leave us a review on Google. As a small business,reviews are extremely important to allow new customers to find us, so you’d have a direct positive effect on the future of our business.

The simple soft sell:

Thank you so much for your business. If you’ve had a good experience, we’d absolutely love a Google review – [Insert Link Here]

If they’ve had a great experience, but are ending the engagement (after kind words):

I truly appreciate the kind words, and hope to continue to improve the service significantly over the next year. If you ever want to re-engage let me know! If you legitimately had a good experience, a positive review on Google is extremely powerful for connecting us with clients – if you take a few minutes to write a sentence or two that would mean the world to me: [Insert link here] Thank you again [Name] for believing in us, and allowing us to work for you and [Company].

Thank you for reading, and good luck on getting more Google Reviews!

To me getting more Google reviews is all about consistency, and feeling the ‘temperature of the room’ around when it’s time to send a follow-up e-mail like this.

I’ve found e-mail is almost more ideal than in person or a phone call because you’re usually catching them when they are in ‘digital’ or ‘computer time’ mode – meaning it’s easier to transition to a task like this if they are already doing things like ‘reading e-mails.’
