REVIEWS - DO PEOPLE USE THEM?
Here are some quick stats.
72% of consumers trust online reviews as much as recommendations from friends and family.
90% of purchasing decisions are reversible based off negative reviews.
Google and other review portals have become the way you get recommendations on businesses. People WANT to know if they should do business with you based on the opinions of more than your parents or a friend. Everyone has different tastes and reasons for choosing a company. One persons individual opinion is usually taken into consideration, but now if you knew the opinion of dozens, potentially hundreds, wouldnt that make you feel more confident with your purchase?
Think about how you purchase items online in your own life. Take purchasing things on Amazon, for instance, you base your decisions on ease of delivery and quality of the product. The quality of the product is clearly described by the collection of product reviews. Choosing a contractor is no different. Customers look for social media and business portal reviews to qualify your company.

REVIEWS - HOW DO I GET THEM?
There are many tactics you can use to get reviews. Some marketers will suggest financial incentives such as gift cards, those certainly are options. Our internal studies have found timing is the best tactic when gathering reviews. The best time to get a positive review from a customer is while you are finishing up the job. While you're cleaning up or completing your final inspection with the customer, ask the customer for a review while you finalize paperwork in front of them.Sounds great, but how?
Make it easy for your customers to choose their preferred review portal ON your website. If they do not have a social media user profile, we have a general comment form they can use. Timing.
