About Google Reviews
Most of us have heard of Google, but what you may not know is that they offer a business review service â Google Reviews. This free service allows businesses to solicit feedback from customers and make themselves more visible on search results. In this article, we will cover the basics of Google Reviews and how it can help your business in terms of visibility and reputation management.
What are Google Reviews?
Google reviews are customer reviews that are left about a business or service on Google's local directory for businesses. These reviews appear in the search engine query results whenever someone searches for your business by name. This provides potential customers with valuable information about your company before making their decision whether to contact you or visit your store.
How Do You Get Reviewed on Google?
To receive reviews from customers, you must first create a profile for your business on Googleâs local directory. You can do this by searching for âGoogle My Businessâ. Once you create an account and fill out all the relevant information about your company, you should be able to accept customer reviews on any platform such as Yelp, TripAdvisor, Facebook, etc., which link back to your profile page on Google. Additionally, you can place a direct link to your page so that customers can easily leave their review directly on it if they wish to do so.
Benefits of Reviewing on Google
- Increased Visibility: By having positive reviews appear in search query results when people lookup your business online, it greatly increases the likelihood of them choosing you over a competitor since potential customers now have valuable insight into what other people think about you and how satisfied they were with their experience which leads them back to our website in order to learn more/contact us.
- Reputation Management: The process of constantly monitoring and responding (where applicable) ensures that any false claims or negative comments donât go unnoticed while also allowing us time to take corrective action if needed as well as manage our public image proactively rather than reactively. Promptly responding positively commenting positively is essential here as well since it shows potential customers we genuinely care and understand their needs by addressing them explicitly rather than just brushing off any inquiries/complaints they might have regarding our services/products.
Overall, incorporating regular review writing into our marketing strategy is beneficial both for improving visibility online and managing our reputation across platforms which could potentially lead to increased sales over time once word starts spreading thanks to happy customers sharing their experiences!
