You finish a job, the customer is happy and they thank you for doing such a great job.
It's the perfect opportunity to ask for a Google review.
But then you're onto the next job, the phone rings or something else needs your attention. And another opportunity passes.
You already know how valuable Google reviews are. They help potential customers feel more confident about choosing your business, especially when they're comparing you with someone they've never used before.
The challenge is remembering to ask.
That's why I like building these little steps into the way a business already operates.
If you're marking a job as complete, sending an invoice or recording a payment, you've already got a natural point in the process to ask for a review.
Have your message written, your Google review link ready and a clear point in the process when it gets sent. One less thing to remember.
When I work with small business owners, these are exactly the kinds of opportunities I look for. We look at how things are being done, where opportunities are being missed and how to make those everyday tasks easier. A good process shouldn't rely on you remembering everything.
I'm curious, how are you currently asking customers for Google reviews?
Do you have a process in place, or is it something you remember to do when you get the chance?
I'd love to hear what you're doing.
