Is It Hard to Get Reviews?
Nope! It is just a fill-in-the-blank template that you can send out regardless of the industry you are in.
Your Google Business Profile gives you the perfect solution for giving people a link to your review!
What you need to do to get reviews:
Target the people who were just customers. Whether they stayed at your property, if you are a vacation rental, just visited your restaurant/bar, or whether you are a dentist or a hairdresser – send it out when they leave your office!
How Do I Send Them The Link To Review?
Google makes it extremely easy to send links for reviews. From your Google Business Profile (just google your business name) and click the ask for reviews button. It will give you different options for your review request, pick which one works for you and then share!
If you collected their email address (which you should be collecting email addresses for your email campaigns, with their consent, of course), Heck, even if you need to text the link. Just copy and paste it into the message that we are going to provide below!
Why Are Reviews Important?
Getting reviews is important not just to boost your local SEO but also to reassure your future customers that you are a legitimate business that has the goods or services that they need. The more positive reviews you have, the more Google sees you as important.
What Do I Tell Them In The Email?
It all starts with a good tagline. Something that will make them want to open the email. Once you get your subject line, you need to create the rest of your message/email. In a nutshell, you just need to thank them for coming to your business, ask them to do a huge favor that should only take a minute or two, and then boom! You’re in business. You will be getting reviews in no time!
