How can you get people to your site based on your reputation? How can get you get your 5 star ratings up everywhere?
Having worked with several reputation business management companies, I realized that the system that they built to manage the testimonials, ratings, email contact lists, point of contact lists, etc. were something that everyone can do on their own, if they know what they are doing. Of course, the business reputation management systems will make it easier and will heighten scalability of the services that you provide, if you are very organized and neat and determined, you can do-it-yourself.
An easy way you can get started right now to get the testimonials and rankings better for your business is to contact us directly and either choose a package that suits your business needs, or you can simply contact other people. Whether it be on social media/friends and family/email contact lists, etc. to ask them,
“Hey, ___________, I’m just getting started with my business and I would appreciate it if you could go onto the testimonials section and (point them to like Google Business or Yelp, what have you) and then just ask them to please give them a rating or a simple note in the testimonials section, or just pick 5 stars!”
The better the rating the better your company looks so, after a while, when the artificial rating suggestions run its course, it’s up to your actual business to really add value to the industry and when that happens, your customers will notice and thus propel your business into a higher stratosphere. In other words, if your business really is that good, then people will start to notice. It is only a matter of time for several ratings to occur so that a higher number of 5-star ratings, will in fact, increase your sales or leads. Higher sales and leads mean what? That is right, you guessed it. More money for your business or increasing “the bottom line”. More means better in this case, but quality testimonials are important a well.
This information that you have just received took me many years to figure out, through trial and error. Choosing companies who sometimes were and were thinking on behalf of my best interest. This is the trick of the trade. You will go through many obstacles and experiences, some good some bad. You may lose money, or you might get lucky like you are right now reading this valuable information for free. For the most part, that is what this is all about, you have the freedom to contact as many people as you like, there are no restrictions on who you can contact to ask them a simple question.
Let’s look at it this way. If a total stranger emailed you and asked you if you could click on their link which goes to their Google Business profile and asked you to give them a rating by sending them to the actual 5-star rating page for ease of use, then most likely of you are a nice guy or gal will give them a good rating, even if they are total strangers, right? Would you? Yes, or no? If you answered yes, then you are like most people willing to help their fellow man or woman or whatever.
In the end, it will be all about perception, and a 5-star rating, in my opinion is better than a 1-star rating. Rinse and repeat and sooner than you know it, you will have a large base of customers or potential clients/leads that will support or at least seem to support your entire business. That makes everyone feel good and feeling good is what you get with a good rating. Have you ever taken an Uber and then the Uber Driver says “Please kind sir/madame, could you please give me a good rating? Thank you very much.” It is the same concept but used online.
