How to get the most reviews for in home service providers?

[PSLab]

Most of my clients go to the clients home to provide their service.  For example a plumber or a bed bug extermination.  Most of my clients find it hard to ask for and get reviews even though they do a great job.  Is there an app or anything else out there that makes the process easier and gets better results than just asking?

Are there any review aggregator applications?  Maybe an application that a client can write a review in one location and the review is pushed out to multiple sites like Google My Business or YP?

Hi Cory

There are great services that you can list your client's businesses on to get reviews. Consider the following:

• Google My Business
• Angie's List
• Thumbtack
• Home Advisor
• Five Star Rated

These are trusted review sites that people use. I would have your clients ask their customer base after their services (in person and via email) to leave a review. Here's a couple of great tip resources on how to ask for reviews and also sources to get reviews from your customers - I highly suggest reading it!

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Hope this helps!

Patrick,

You are a wealth of knowledge.  I use most of those but will integrate all of them.  I am also looking at using Get Five Stars.  Those review links would get integrated in GFStars.

Always interested in your input.

Hi There!

GetFiveStars is well-thought-of in the industry and can be very helpful for businesses that are otherwise struggling to earn and manage consumer sentiment. I test drove the product before it launched and was pretty amazed by it then, and since that time, they've added so many new features. Definitely check out GetFiveStars blog, as well ... good tips on there!

Hi Cory,

At Blue Corona, we have a software that we use on our clients' websites cause ReviewUsNow. With the program, the company can send out emails to customers they've serviced over the past few days, week, etc. and ask them to leave them a review. The review then gets broken up by location and posted on their website. The customer is then prompted to share the review on additional platforms like Google, Yelp, etc. and all they have to do is press the copy button to copy everything that they wrote, and paste it into the additional platforms.

We've found it to be very successful at building the number of reviews on our clients' profiles.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!
