Google reviews are an important part of improving your online reputation and local SEO. If you find that your competitors have more customer reviews than you do, it means that you are not using the right strategy to get reviews. In some cases, false negative reviews left on your page by a competitor can damage your e-reputation, and it is difficult to remove a Google review, as you need all the evidence to remove the review.

In order to get more Google reviews, you must first have services and products online that deserve a recommendation. In this article we will show you how to get more reviews on your Google page.


Ask satisfied customers directly


The first trick is to ask customers via a post on your social networks or a poster in shop with a QR code for a notice to your customers. This may seem simple to you, but many companies forget this step. You have to take the time and courage to ask your customers to collect Google recommendations. Be aware that buy reviews for Google strictly forbidden, as these reviews may be deleted. It is recommended to ask the customer for a review right after the service. If your products or services have had a positive effect, your customers or patients will be happy to leave a comment or a positive review on your page. However, it is important to explain to them the importance of their reviews for your business. The same goes for a negative review. You should do everything you can to contact the customer and convince them to remove the review and post a positive review instead.

Create a Google review link


The Google review link takes the customer directly to the GMB (Google My Business) review section of your business. This link makes it easy for you to acquire reviews. The aim is to make it as easy as possible for customers who previously had to spend seconds or minutes searching for your Google My Business listing on the web. It takes just one click to access the review section.

There are three tricks to get the famous Google review link:

  • The first trick is the creation of a short Google name. This URL has been set up for Google to increase the number of reviews on the GMB records of companies. To create this link, you need to :

  • Access your Google My Business account,

  • Select the "info" or "home" section,

  • Click on "add a short name",

  • Google will validate your request.

  • The second tip should be used if you are unable to create a short Google My Business profile name. This is to use a tool for linking to your various customer reviews:

  • Access the Pleper tool,

  • Put the URL of your Google Maps entry in "Link to Maps". To do this, go to your entry and click on the map and copy the URL,

  • Create the link and copy it.

  • The third and simplest method is the LocalRanker method which allows you to get a short link name with SMS campaigns. Just go to the Google My Business Audit report in the "reviews" category.


Get reviews with the tablet in shop


There are different loyalty programs in shops where you can ask the customer to give feedback via their email box. The tablet is a great way to collect feedback on your business. There are tablets available in shops with customer satisfaction questionnaires. Note that you need to have a good customer satisfaction questionnaire in order to get feedback from your customers.

Building an acquisition strategy


Before using any of the above methods, you should first establish a strategy with your staff for obtaining reviews naturally. Getting regular reviews will improve your online reputation and local ranking. It is important to get frequent reviews and go far beyond your satisfaction surveys. You can watch the evolution of the frequency of reviews with LocalRanker.

Use posters to ask for opinions


The simplest and most effective solution is the feedback poster. The method is to create a personalised poster to ask customers on site to give feedback on a service. In order for your customers to be able to give their opinion and leave a comment about your services, your customers must have a Google account. Without an account, they will be redirected to a page to create an account.
