2020 changed a lot-including the way you do business. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made in-person word-of-mouth a thing of the past, while increasing the importance of your business’s online presence. Against this backdrop, it’s more important than ever that you have positive reviews on Google and other major review sites, such as TripAdvisor and Yelp., so Google Reviews Are the New Word of Mouth
In this guide, we’ll tell you how Review Cards can help you succeed in this new business environment. Specifically, we’ll show you how the site works to garner positive reviews for your business. Keep reading to find out how you can raise your bottom dollar!
With COVID-19 forcing quarantines and other lockdown measures, people have turned to new places to get their information. Word-to-mouth is no longer spread by soccer mums at their child’s big game, at the hair salon, or around the break room at work. Instead, users are turning to other avenues to find out which businesses are worth their hard-earned money.
Invariably, these avenues all involve the Internet. Today, Google and other sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor stand as the most popular review sites for both local and national businesses. Google business listings have surged, and reviews on the site are now more important than ever. Studies show that 84% of consumers trust Google reviews as much as they would a recommendation from a friend, making this the current go-to avenue for referrals for your business. In fact, Google reviews are so trusted that, in many cases, they urge a consumer to buy a product or service without that consumer ever visiting the company website. That’s some powerful word-of-mouth that can totally change the status of your business-if you know how to harness it.
As a business owner, you’ll want to tap into this increasingly powerful resource to grow your own business in this changing age. Coming up, we’ll take a specific look at how Review Cards work and the specific benefits they can provide for your business.
Given this, let’s take a look at how Review Cards works. Our service works to make personalized review cards for the many online review sites (Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp Facebook) that you can give to your consumers for speedy reviews!
Review Cards will contain a custom QR code and short link that sends the customer directly to your desired review page. Once the customer visits, they’ll be able to leave you a positive review within seconds! This means that obtaining those increasingly important positive reviews is easier than ever.
Here’s what Review Cards works to eliminate: time-wasting follow-ups. How many times have you had to send out a follow-up email or make one hundred phone calls just to remind someone to review your business? With Review Cards, you’ll be able to rid your business of these time-wasting practices to instead garner more reviews in a timely manner. That’s because the cards not only allow consumers to review your business within seconds, but they also serve as constant reminders to review. Unlike a temporary phone call or an email that gets buried in the inbox, these cards act as physical reminders for consumers to review the product or service they experienced.
What’s more, because Review Cards does all the design and technical work for you, you never have to worry about any aspect of creation. Instead, you can simply enjoy the benefits that these game-changing cards bring your way!
So what does all this mean for your business? In a word, success. Having said this, let’s take a look at some specific benefits Review Cards can bring you!
Let’s start with the obvious. Review Cards are proven to bring businesses more reviews-and it’s not hard to see why. Though most customers who promise reviews are well-meaning, it’s all too easy to forget, especially when the burden of work falls on you. Review Cards removes this hassle and gives your consumers a quick, burden-free way of giving your business a positive review.
Naturally, this translates to increased reviews of your business on major online business listings. What’s more, because the people who will follow through on Review Cards are generally those who are keen on your product, you can enjoy higher ratings on Google and other platforms that will help encourage more consumers to try out your business.
It’s this simple: having higher ratings means more traffic. By using Review Cards, you’ll be able to generate interest in your business that will ultimately lead to more traffic to your website. Traditionally, word-of-mouth has been one of the best ways to generate leads for your business. Now that digital marketing has reached its heyday, you can capitalize on its digital version (Google reviews) to increase your business presence and the amount of traffic you bring to your website.
Importantly, increased traffic will lead to more sales. As more and more individuals come to your website, you’ll experience an uptick in conversions as your traffic leads to sales. Customers will be motivated by the positive reviews of others to try out your product or service for themselves-even if they lack the personal recommendation of a trusted friend.
2020 has proved to be an inflection point for businesses across the globe. With traditional word-of-mouth falling by the wayside in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, online reviews have become the standard for business recommendations. In order for your business to succeed under the new paradigm, you’ll need as many online reviews as possible.
That’s where we come in. With Review Cards, you can encourage reviews for your website to increase your rating, traffic, and sales. Our creative and streamlined designs help engage customers and redirect them to your chosen review portal within seconds.
