So, how many 5-star ratings do you need to reach your target?

200? 500?

Whatever that number is, that’s your next goal to build a strong online presence for your business.

You need to look into every aspect of your business before launching this campaign.

First, you need to see if there is any issue in the products or services you are offering. If it’s an ecommerce business, you need to see if your customers are receiving the products in a damaged state. In that case you need to fix your delivery process, or change the delivery partners.

Once you fix your product related issues, you need to set up a review and ratings collection process that is foolproof.

According to helpscout.com, only 36% customers share their reviews, but more than 85% read online reviews before going ahead with a purchase. Yes, the numbers feel a bit one-sided.

This is why getting reviews is one of the most challenging aspects of building online reputation.

For getting most reviews and ratings from your customers you need to make it easy for your customers to give reviews.

Ways to Collect Google Reviews Easily

Telling your customers face-to-face to leave a Google review (with a warm smile on your face) is great, but not always effective.
Most customers either forget or skip it, especially if they weren’t entirely happy, and, even if they smiled back.

That’s where other channels come in, to help you collect reviews more effectively.

Here are different ways to collect reviews,

Review Request Link

This works best for online businesses where you have collected a contact number from your customer. You can create a link to your Google Business page and send it across through Whatsapp or SMS to your customers requesting a review. If you can personalize it, it will work the best!

QR Code

You can either place a QR code at your offline store, display it on your website, product packaging bags, event banners, brochures, or any physical marketing material you are sharing with your customer. Scanning a QR code and sharing a review is friction-free for customers.

Third Party Tools

Different tools are available on subscription basis that can automate the process of review collection and follow-ups for you. Some popular tools are Hubspot, Mailchimp, Sendinblue, Square POS, and Fresha. They share the review links and follow up at regular time intervals that you have set.

Offer Incentives

Offer incentives to your customers like a discount on their next purchase, or an entry in a lucky draw, for an honest review. This is commonly done by new brands who are looking for a loyal customer base who can make repeat purchases.

Telecalling

One of the most traditional methods that still works for small businesses. You can directly call your customers after a few days of their purchase and try to know their experience. Ask them open-ended questions trying to know their pulse. You can share the review request link over the call.
We recommend using a combination of these ways to collect Google reviews in the best way.

Tips To Make Review Process Easy

Keep Minimum Steps

Having a complicated review submission process is one of the major reasons why only a small part of customers share their reviews. Keep the process simple, limiting it to 1-2 steps.

Don’t ask too early

Asking a review too early can make you sound pushy, and can lead to losing credibility. Wait for some time till your customer has actually used your product. This will help you get better reviews and improve your product quality as well.
