Our discussion about reviews continues! If you missed our last two blogs, we covered how to pick the right client and how to ask the right questions, we highly recommend reading. All the information in this series goes hand in hand!
Why are Google reviews so important?
- The more reviews, the more leads
- Positive reviews = more purchases
- Higher rankings on Google
- “Free” advertising

Here at The WanderWeb we are all about increasing your online presence and upping your SEO game. Google plays a huge role in that. That being said, she (she being Google), can be a picky beast sometimes. There are a few things you have to get in order, before you can obtain any Google reviews:
- You must follow Google’s Terms of Service before you can solicit reviews
- Your business must be a “Place” on Google
- Your Google My Business profile must be verified
Once you’ve completed those steps, you can begin requesting reviews from your customers/ clients!
Our best advice is to MAKE IT EASY. The harder it is for people to leave your business a review, the less likely they are to do it. Create a quick Google review link shortcut that will lead people right to your Google Business page. You can also add a section on your website where people can leave reviews. At The WanderWeb we do both, but also have an email format that we send out to clients:
Thank you again for choosing the WanderWeb and trusting us to help you grow your business.
And please don’t hesitate to reach out in the future if you need us again!
