Also, Several of Longmont Business Marketing’s customers have stated that new customers told them that they chose their business in large part due to positive Google reviews.
This doesn’t mean you should go out and get people with Google accounts to falsify Google reviews, but it’s a good marketing strategy to ask your customers to submit reviews on your business. This is especially a good thing if your customers are happy with your products and services.
So how does a business owner go about getting Google reviews from their customers? Ask them to do it at the time of service, and perhaps offer an incentive to do it. You could give them a discount or a coupon for providing their honest opinion.
