Tips on How to Get Google Reviews

Now that you know how important it is to make sure people leave good reviews on your business page on Google let Locl show you how to get Google reviews.

Tell Them How to Do It

To ensure that people know how to leave a review about your business, you should give them the steps or guidelines such as:

  • Step 1: Open up Google Maps
  • Step 2: Search for your business
  • Step 3: Scroll down to the review section
  • Step 4: Click on the prompt to leave your review

However, you can use other ways to explain this in a more simple, more straightforward way, such as an instructional video.

Add Call to Action (CTA) in Your Footer

In addition to having a designated page for Google reviews or any kind of review in general on your webpage, you should also include the link in the footer of your webpage with a CTA so it can encourage people to do so.

Emphasize to Customers How Quick and Easy the Process Is

Sometimes, your customer might not know or forget how simple and fast it is to leave reviews on your website. So you can encourage them by:

  • Telling them to leave a star rating without writing anything (if possible).
  • Use terminology such as “drop a quick review,” “Give us your thoughts,” “leave a review” instead of “write a review” as it might feel less troublesome.
  • Remind customers if they leave a review, try to make it short and straightforward about one to two sentences.

Use Social Media

While Google My Business is helpful, it only works for users who access the Google page. That’s why you might want to use social media to ask customers on the platform for more reviews. By adding direct links to your review page in your post.

Respond to the Existing Reviews

When you respond to your reviews on Google, you will indirectly tell potential reviewers that you closely listen to customer feedback, making it worth their time writing reviews. Keep in mind that positive and negative reviews will have different ways to respond to them.

  • Negative reviews: Respond to negative feedback quickly and respectfully, and actually fixing the problem will also result in a negative rating turning into a favorable one.
  • Positive reviews: Respond gratefully, timely and specific will help you create a positive vibe, which leads to more positive feedback.

Learning how to get Google reviews isn’t difficult, but getting the best outcomes might take time and effort. Knowing how to use Google reviews to your advantage can make a real difference in spreading your reputation and expanding your business. Remember, the better interaction you have with your customers, the better their reviews will be.
