Why this matters: Google's algorithm heavily weights review engagement. Companies that respond to reviews see up to 35% higher click-through rates from search results. You have missed opportunities awaiting responses—this is low-hanging fruit.

What to do:
  • Respond to ALL existing reviews within the next 7 days (personalized, not generic)
  • Thank positive reviewers by name and mention specific services they used
  • Address any negative reviews professionally—offer to make it right
  • Set up daily review monitoring and commit to 24-hour response time
  • Include relevant keywords naturally in responses (e.g., "air duct cleaning in Desert Cities")
📈 Accelerate Review Generation

Why this matters: At 220 reviews, you're at only 75% of the leader average (295). Reviews are the #1 local ranking factor. Each new review improves your visibility and conversion rate.

  • Train technicians to verbally ask for reviews before leaving job sites
  • Create printed review request cards with QR codes for your Google profile
  • Follow up with past satisfied customers (ask for reviews from your best jobs)
