Responding to Reviews - Google My Business - with templates

Before your business is even showing up in the 3-Pack at the top of page one of Google, you should be working to build up as many 5-star reviews on your Google My Business page as you can.

These raving reviews are a great way to show potential customers that you have excellent customer service and that you can be trusted with their business. This is especially true with industries that are involved in such large financial transactions as buying and selling properties.

Whether you are working through this process on your own or utilizing a program like the one we customize for our clients to help simplify the process, you will need to stay on top of responding to the great reviews that are being left on your Google My Business page.

Responding to positive reviews displays appreciation for your clients and the time they took to leave you a glowing review, which can foster goodwill with your existing clients as well as help convert more traffic in the future. Responding to negative reviews gives you an opportunity to turn the situation around with the unhappy client as well as with potential clients who may read the bad review in the future.

There are a few important things to remember when you are responding to positive reviews that can help you make the most of your responses.

  1. Thank your client for their kind words or 5-star review.
  2. Use your business name and/or a keyword from your SEO strategy.
  3. Add in some additional marketing or promote a future action.
