Google reviews play a large role in making your business look like a trustworthy source of information to your consumers. Many potential customers will choose whether or not to visit your business after reading reputable reviews online.
You can share a unique URL with customers from your Google My Business dashboard on your computer or the mobile app. Customers can then leave reviews easily via one-click rather than searching your business, finding the review section, and then submitting a review. You are asking for a favour so let’s make it as simple as possible for your customers.
