How to Get More Google Reviews for Your Small Business

Why Google Reviews Matter

Nearly 90% of customers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Google reviews affect your ranking in Maps and local search — and they build instant trust with new clients.

1. Just Ask (Every Time!)

After a successful project or happy sale, ask for a review. Most people will say yes if you make it easy.

2. Make It Easy

• Text or email a direct link to your Google review page.
• Use a QR code on receipts, business cards, or at your checkout.

3. Respond to Every Review

Thank each reviewer publicly. It shows you care — and future customers will notice!

4. Display Reviews on Your Website

Add a testimonials section with real Google reviews to your site (with stars, screenshots, or quotes).

5. Incentivize Staff (Not Clients)

Never “buy” reviews, but reward your team for getting happy clients to leave them. Consistency is key.

Extra: Handle Bad Reviews Like a Pro

• Always reply politely and offer to resolve issues offline.
• Don’t argue — show you care about fixing problems.
