Customer Review Capture / Google Approved Review Sites

[jannkuzel]

We are interested in showing customer reviews on our website (in UK for seo purposes- UGC) and are initially reluctant to use a 'What customer say' or Testimonial page as we think customers may think we have just made these reviews up?

I wanted to ask what methods you folks use to capture reviews?

If you use 3rd party providers do you have any recommendations? (I found this link but it seems a little outdated as it doesn't include for example eKomi:http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-rank-well-in-google-products-search-a-big-list-of-places-to-get-reviews)

Thanks in advance.

First, I think here in the US the Testimonials page still works if you do it correctly.

Second, with customers who you can ask for help, have them put reviews on sites and link to the sites from your testimonials page.

You can also have them do a review on Places, use the same verbiage on your testimonials page & same user name of customer on Places. Then state (from our customer Suzi Q on  our Google reviews!)
