Customer reviews can make or break a business. They influence potential customers and improve search rankings, making them one of the most valuable marketing tools available to you.
Why Reviews Matter
Boosts Trust & Credibility: 92% of consumers read online reviews before visiting a business, and many rely on them to make purchasing decisions.
Improves SEO: Google prioritises businesses with frequent, high-quality reviews, helping you rank higher in search results.
Encourages More Bookings & Visits: Positive feedback from past customers reassures new visitors that your business delivers a great experience.
How to Get More Reviews
Ask at the Right Time
The best time to ask for a review is immediately after a positive interaction—whether it’s at checkout, after a tour, or via a follow-up email.
Make It Easy
Simplify the review process by providing direct links to your Let’s Go Victoria listing, Google Business Profile and other relevant platforms.
Offer Incentives
While some platforms have guidelines against incentivised reviews, you can encourage feedback by hosting review-based contests or offering small rewards for participation.
How to Leverage Reviews for Growth
Showcase Positive Reviews
Feature top reviews on your website, social media, and marketing materials. A dedicated “Testimonials” page or section can further build trust with potential customers.
Respond to All Reviews
Engage with both positive and negative reviews. A professional and polite response to criticism shows that you value customer experiences and are committed to improvement.
Summary
Harnessing the power of reviews can elevate your business’s credibility and visibility. Prioritise customer feedback, respond proactively, and use reviews to build lasting trust.
