You should be taken to a new screen that looks like the Google My Business website. It’s very similar to the Google My Business app that you’re already used to using.

From here, you can manage your listing like normal.

Google has just made it a little bit harder to find the app – but your business is still safe and sound. Thanks for watching!

The number & quality of your Google Reviews makes a major difference in how much NEW BUSINESS you will receive from people who find you online and call your establishment to hire you. 

When you know how to ask for a 5 Star Google Review, you’ve got a majorly important skill you need to grow your business.

Where did the Google My Business iPhone app go?

 

6 Steps to Structure your ask for a 5-star Google review aka my “secret script.”

Studies show that people are dramatically more likely to complete your request if you do these things.

 

  1. Use their name – Start with “Hello James” or “Good afternoon Jane”. Leading off with someone’s name reminds them of how familiar and close you are.
  2. Make the ask – “Would you please give me a 5-star Google review?”
  3. Give them a reason“Because I’m trying to get ahead of my local competition” It doesn’t have to be crazy, studies show that even if the reason doesn’t seem that important the person will be much more likely to make give you the review if you give them a reason.
  4. Include a number if you can “I’m trying to get to 10 (or 25) five-star google reviews to get ahead of my local competition” is even better.
  5. Tell them it won’t take much time so they do it right away. “it will only take 2-3 minutes of your time and it will help me a LOT!”
  6. Provide them with the link – Hit them with the link right away! You’ve set them up and they’re ready to give you a five-star Google Review, make sure you make it easy for them and hit them with the review link right now!

Example Script You can Copy, Adjust & Use to get 5 Star Google Reviews

 “Hello *Their Name*, would you be willing to give me a quick 5 star Google review? I’m trying to get to 25 five-star reviews today, so I can get ahead of my local competition. It will only take 2-3 minutes of your time. Here’s the link. “

We have found this is extremely effective, ask in person first (if possible) send a message via text or email, include their name, give them a reason you are asking (use my reason or create your own,) include a number & tell them it won’t take up much of their time and give them the link so they can actually do it.

If you follow this technique on How to ask for a 5 Star Google Review, I guarantee you will have a greater than 90% success rate when you ask your clients & friends for a five star google review.

Andrew Peterson is passionate about projects and endeavors he undertakes, and this makes him most effective in the realm of website design, website development, and social media. After being floored by the effectiveness of his work in developing a website and Facebook/Twitter presence with the Easton Children’s Museum, I recommended he talk with a local non-profit “School on Wheels of Massachusetts” (SOWMA) and for-profit “Shaw’s Center/Campanelli Stadium” to deliver the same. SOWMA and Shaw’s Center were equally impressed with his capabilities, his depth of knowledge, and his unwavering commitment to projects he undertakes.

They helped me with various online needs. I was skeptical as I have used plenty of “other” marketing sites. They deliver. Doubled my reviews within 1 year, cleaned up my sites and truly provided a customer service I was in need of. Andrew will help and handle things you may not be aware of and help your business succeed. Great company. I still work with them and will continue to do in the future.
