Getting reviews is just the first step in making an impact on your local ranking and building your online reputation. It is important for your organization to not only have many reviews but also have high-quality reviews. The best way to get quality reviews is through specific keywords in your Google reviews. The more quality reviews your organization has, the higher it will rank on Google. According to Google, keywords in reviews are now the 7th most significant factor in Google (ahead of the number of ratings in importance).
Getting high-quality reviews isn’t as hard as you may think. It’s as simple as emailing customers and asking for a review and making suggestions for what to include. Below is an email template you can use:
