Growing Your Online Reviews
Objective:
Online reviews are one of the most powerful tools for building your business’s reputation and visibility. This guide explains why reviews matter, what Google looks for, and how you can use the NextPaw dashboard to generate high-quality reviews consistently.
Why Online Reviews Matter
Google evaluates your reviews based on a few important factors:
- Frequency: Are you receiving reviews on a regular basis?
- Quality: Are the reviews positive and thoughtful?
- Consistency: Are reviews being left every week or just in bursts?
- Content: Do the reviews mention specific products, services, or experiences?
These signals help search engines understand the strength of your business and also influence shopper decisions. A business with steady, positive reviews stands out among local competitors.
How to Ask for Reviews
The easiest way to collect reviews is by using the green Request Review button found on every page of your NextPaw dashboard.
After closing out a transaction with a happy customer, click the button to send a review request. This helps you capture the customer’s positive experience while it’s still fresh.
Make it a habit. The goal is to earn new 5-star reviews every day.
