HOW TO GET MORE REVIEWS: ASK If you have a service based business, have a spot on your website that asks for feedback. In both, always email your customers and ask if they would like to leave feedback in a follow up email. DON T DELETE NEGATIVE REVIEWS People trust reviews more when they see some negative reviews mixed in. If all they see is positive reviews, it can cause concern about censorship. BE VISIBILE ON REVIEW SITES Sites such as Yelp, Google+, Angie s List, Trip Advisor etc. exist solely to collect and give reviews. Make sure your business is listed on these sites and be sure to monitor the activity. Ask your customers to review you on these platforms. 7
ASK FOR REVIEWS OFFLINE Put a sign up in your store and ask people to review you on Yelp! Teach your staff to ask customers for reviews online and offer incentives for reviews. Send emails to your loyal base SPREAD THE WORD ON SOCIAL MEDIA Each week, post one positive review on your social channels. Don t edit them though even if there are spelling or grammatical errors you should always post testimonials exactly how they were given. This is an excellent way to spread positive news about your business! SOCIAL MEDIA CLIMATE & STATISTICS 8
