Creating a Review Link for Your Google My Business Page

As you may know from some of our previous posts, Google reviews are needed to help turn traffic into leads.

Think about how you make decisions when you are searching for services in your area. When you see those three businesses in the three-pack, who are you most likely to contact? The business with a couple reviews, or the business with 30, 40 or more 5-star reviews?

As a Digital Marketing and SEO Company, it is our job to get our clients to the top of Google’s Page 1, but we know that there is more to converting leads then just showing up in front of tons of traffic. For this reason, we incorporate a customizable review system into our SEO program to help our clients get tons of 5-star reviews for their Google My Business pages.

As a part of this review process, we create a custom Review Link for our clients, to help their clients quickly and easily leave them a glowing review.

If you would like to create your own custom Review Link to work on building up the reviews on your Google My Business page, simply follow the instructions below:

1. Navigate to https://developers.google.com/places/place-id in your web browser
2. Begin typing your Business Name into the search bar on the map under the title “Find the ID of a particular place”
3. Find and select your business from the list of businesses that show up in the drop-down menu
4. Copy the Place ID – located under your Business Name
5. Paste that Place ID at the end of this URL – https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=

Your finished product should look something like this – https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJ9XBucRubK4gRt9PIfcOHoyI

This custom review link will take your clients directly to your Google My Business page, and even opens a review box automatically. This takes all the guesswork out of the review process, and allows your clients to leave you a review without the stress of following a link, only to search for where to leave you a review!
