Step two is getting those customers to actually and sign up for services.
So how do you get customers to take the next step?
Reviews can be a great way to convince people to call and sign up for your services. Customer reviews will provide trust and insight about your business from an unbias source. As a matter of fact, 75% of customers trust online reviews as much as personal reviews.
For reviews to make an impact and draw in new customers, you need to offer the best service possible and have enough places for people to leave reviews.
The top review platforms include Google My Business, Facebook, Yelp, and lead generators.
