More and More Consumers Read Reviews Before Making a Purchase…
Having a strategy to actively solicit feedback and reviews is the smart thing to do – it will make a huge difference in your business.
Think about this scenario:
Is Your Advertising Campaign Sending Prospects To Your Competitor?
Let me paint you a picture here. Here’s how most people THINK it works…
Prospective client…
…Sees your ad
…Calls/goes/logs into your business
…Buys your product or service
NOPE.
That’s what advertisers WANT to believe…
They are wrong!
Here’s what REALLY happens:
Prospective client…
…Sees your ad
…Thinks “That looks interesting; l-e-t m-e g-o-o-g-l-e t-h-a-t r-e-a-l q-u-i-c-k…
…Oh no – these guys have a bad reputation. They only have 2 Google reviews; one with 5 stars, but it’s 3 years old, and a 1-star review from 6 months ago.
…Let’s check out this other company.”
See what happened there?
Your competitor got the lead. FROM YOUR ADVERTISING!
You KNOW this is how it works. I mean – if YOU were looking for an Italian restaurant for instance – who would you choose? The one with a 2 star rating, or the one with 5?
Don’t let this happen to YOU.
