local business&#8217;s success. Positive customer reactions can help to establish trust with potential buyers and spur them on to a purchase. At the same time, negative reviews offer the chance to gain insight from missteps and refine the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of customer reviews must be balanced. Not only do they provide honest feedback about your business, but they also have a direct impact on your company&#8217;s reputation and online presence. A survey conducted by BrightLocal found that 84% of people trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations when making purchasing decisions. That means that glowing reviews are just as important for small businesses as larger ones if you want to stand out in today&#8217;s competitive market.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_9d6bb9-df\"><strong>5 Ways to Get Reviews for Your Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ways to get reviews for your business:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_a84191-22.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_a84191-22 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:716px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_a84191-22.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_a84191-22 .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_a84191-22 figure{max-width:716px;}.kb-image_a84191-22 .image-is-svg, .kb-image_a84191-22 .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_a84191-22 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_a84191-22 img.kb-img, .kb-image_a84191-22 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:28px;border-top-right-radius:28px;border-bottom-right-radius:28px;border-bottom-left-radius:28px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);filter:drop-shadow(0px 0px 14px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2));}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_a84191-22\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/optilocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Get-Reviews-for-Your-Business.png\" alt=\"Get Reviews for Your Business\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-40592\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optilocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Get-Reviews-for-Your-Business.png 1024w, https:\/\/optilocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Get-Reviews-for-Your-Business-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/optilocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Get-Reviews-for-Your-Business-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/optilocal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Get-Reviews-for-Your-Business-650x488.png 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. <strong>Claim Listings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Claiming and optimizing your business listings is a crucial step in local marketing. This lets you control customers&#8217; information about your business, such as an address, phone number, website link, and more. It also provides an opportunity for customers to leave reviews. Ensure all your listings are up-to-date with accurate information across different platforms such as Google My Business, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other directories like Yellow Pages or Foursquare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. <strong>Sending an Email or SMS Message<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email and SMS messages are great tools to use when requesting reviews.

Unlike an email or SMS message, which can easily be ignored, handing out cards makes it harder for people to disregard the request since they have something tangible in their hands. This increases the chances of getting more reviews and feedback from customers.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:22px;color:#fcb900;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_e54133-aa kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_2d103f-d0\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Benefits<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages of using physical cards over digital methods are numerous; firstly, it&#8217;s much more personal as you are directly interacting with your customer by giving them something tangible, and secondly, it&#8217;s easier to grab someone&#8217;s attention when they have something real in front of them rather than just an email or text message notification. Additionally, having a physical card lets you include eye-catching graphics and other design elements to make your brand stand out even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating your review request handouts, you should keep some key things in mind, such as writing compelling copy that encourages people to leave reviews on specific websites or listings and including details about how easy it is for them to do so (for example, providing links). You can also use these cards to increase exposure for your business&#8217;s social media channels by adding logos and handles onto the backside of each one &#8211; this way, customers will know where else they can find you online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. <strong>Requesting Reviews at Checkout Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking customers to leave reviews before they leave your place of business is a great way to get immediate feedback about their experience with you and your services. This type of request should be done discreetly and politely so as not to disrupt the customer&#8217;s checkout process or make them uncomfortable. You can do this by providing a simple form for them to fill out on paper or digitally via a tablet or smartphone that has been preloaded with review forms and instructions on submitting it once they have completed their purchase. Additionally, if you use any loyalty program, offering rewards points for leaving reviews can be an effective incentive for customers who may otherwise not take the time to provide feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:22px;color:#fcb900;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_356ebc-b3 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_8c7450-aa\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Automating the Process with POS Systems<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have a point-of-sale (POS) system in your business, asking customers for reviews could easily become part of your normal checkout process without much effort. Many modern POS systems now include features such as automated rating requests and short text boxes where customers can provide quick feedback about their experience during checkout time without filling out additional forms or answering lengthy surveys afterward. This makes it easier for businesses and customers since there is no need for extra paperwork or manual data entry after the sale.

With this option, all customer responses will be collected in real-time so businesses will get valuable feedback even when people forget or don&#8217;t have enough time left over after making purchases to complete post-checkout surveys later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When responding to reviews, it is important to maintain a professional yet friendly demeanor. Utilize polite language and thank the reviewer sincerely, even if their feedback is negative. Offer potential solutions or steps towards resolution whenever possible. Remember to include relevant keywords throughout your replies to improve SEO rankings and ensure potential customers can find pertinent content quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. <strong>Respond to Reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to reviews is an important part of managing your online presence and reputation, showing that you care about customer feedback and take it seriously. Studies have shown that 45 percent of consumers are more likely to visit a business after reading a response from the company on its review page or website. Not only does responding show customers that you value their opinion, but it also helps build trust with potential customers considering your services in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Develop a Review Response Plan<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before responding to reviews, ensure you have a plan in place so that all responses are consistent across different platforms and channels. This plan should include topics such as the tone of your responses, how specific issues will be addressed, or providing contact information for different resolutions if necessary. It&#8217;s also helpful to develop standard templates for common situations to tailor each response quickly without compromising quality or accuracy when addressing customer concerns or inquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Responding To Reviews<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When crafting responses for reviews, some tips can help ensure they remain professional yet friendly at all times:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:22px;color:#fcb900;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:10px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_9fa894-bc kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_4d0166-4b\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">First, always use polite language; no matter how negative the review might seem, avoid being confrontational.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ce529d-e6\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_chevronsRight kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"13 17 18 12 13 7\"\/><polyline points=\"6 17 11 12 6 7\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Secondly, thank them sincerely (even if they had something negative).
