Your Google maps listing can help you draw traffic to your website or generate phone calls directly to your office. To make your listing more visible (rank higher) it is important that you complete the entire profile. This includes adding pictures/videos and having reviews from happy clients. I recommend that you have 4 reviews for your listing.
The best way to get a review is to ask someone to write a review for you. Ideally the review should come from a happy client. (or colleague outside your firm/group)
A review is usually a couple sentences long up to a paragraph in size and is easy to write. The tricky part comes in actually finding the spot where to write the review. For most people you will need to give them some guidance on where to go.
Guiding the reviewer
The reviewer should do the following:
- Go to http://maps.google.com/ and click on the sign in link in the upper right corner
- Enter a username and password.
- If they don't have a account with Google they will need to create one.
- Then they should do a search in Google maps with the exact listing name:
- Then they should click on the more info link (it is in a tiny font next to the listing name)
- Then click on the write a review link (located in the middle of the page on the right
- Write the review
If you have a client that is knowledgeable in Google this will be a peace of cake. However, for many people, they will need your help.
