Did You Know?

Did you know that 94% of new customers use search engines to find local businesses…

...and that 70% of households use the internet as their go-to source when purchasing local products & services?

Search ResultsSearch Results

People don’t have time to visit every search result, right?

Many won’t ever visit a company’s website before making the decision to call.

So What Do They Do Instead?So What Do They Do Instead?

‣ They simply scan the reviews on each listing. They want to see what Other People are saying

‣ They’re looking for what’s known as a Social Signal. Social Signals are your current customers talking about your business and sharing their experience openly online

It’s Obvious That you Need to Be at the Top of the Search Engines when people look for you.

Problem is, Getting to the Top isn’t Easy these Days, and it’s Not Cheap Either.

It’s Time To Stop Chasing Search Results...

Getting To The Top

We’ve seen local business owners pay as much as $1,000 to $1,500 per month for SEO services.

And the problem is, this whole process can take weeks–even months–to see results, if at all.

The Problem with SEO

But here’s the real problem, and what most marketing companies are not telling you:

Being at the top is still not enough to guarantee leads and sales for your business.

‣ You’re Still Competing With the Other 10

‣ no reason for a customer to choose you over your competitor

70% of customers trust a business with a minimum of 6 to 10 reviews.

Approximately 72% of consumers surveyed said that they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, even those by anonymous posters!

Build Trust & CredibilityBuild Trust & Credibility

Ratings give searchers an instant snapshot of your business reputation based on real customer experiences.

When they see a company with positive reviews, it’s an instant trust & credibility booster making your phone ring.

This is great news for companies with positive reviews by their listings… and bad news for those who don’t.

Search Engine LoveSearch Engine Love

Why do the Search Engines care about how many reviews you have?

Simple. They want to deliver the best results for users.... So who do you think they’re going to favor… … a company with no reviews?… or a company with dozens of glowing ones?

More Reviews = More MoneyMore Reviews = More Money

★ A 1/2 star or even just a .2% differential in the overall ratings could mean life or death...

★ Because bad reviews cost you real money.

★ A recent Harvard Business School study found that a one star rating decrease can reduce revenues by nearly 10%, so it literally pays you to stay on top of all the reviews that are posted about your business.

Your goal is to get the best reviews you can.

...and then get as many reviews as you can

‣ Paying to be at the top is great, but it can be risky, time consuming, expensive and by itself, still doesn’t guarantee more leads and sales for you.

‣ Customers use online reviews in choosing a business.

‣ Businesses are rewarded by having the most positive reviews.
