Leaving A Google Review

There are a number of ways to find information about a company, including the Google reviews section. They’ve been found to be one of the most popular and reliable forms of feedback from past customers.

When it comes to decisions relating to pretty much anything… We all know that we go through the same steps (browse Google, read listings, check ratings and reviews, etc.) before making a decision. This is applicable in literally ANY situation you can think of. If they don’t have great reviews you’re likely to move on and find someone better. It’s the power of Google reviews!

Taking the time to get positive reviews for your business shows your customers that you care about them. It also helps send a signal of credibility to potential customers, up to 84% of those who trust online reviews trust them as much as personal recommendations from their friends or family.
