Have you been trying to get “Google Local reviews” — in a way that’s quick and easy for customers and for you?
You’re smart. Customer reviews matter to your local rankings. I’ve found that the average #1 ranking has 33% more customer reviews than the average
“Google reviews” — which customers write through their Google Plus pages — are even more important than reviews written on other sites, like Yelp and CitySearch.
Having Google reviews tends to generate more clicks from potential customers. Those golden stars catch your eye.
Also, the reviews your customers write are automatically shared with their friends (the people in their Google Plus “Circles”). Not only can this result in extra visibility for you in “social media,” but some of your customers’ friends may live nearby — which means they’re your potential customers as well.
Not having reviews is not a wise option.
When potential customers see your listing in Google’s local search results, they’ll only see the number of Google Plus reviews you have.
Doesn’t matter if you have 100 reviews on Yelp and 200 on Yahoo. If you have no Google reviews, it will appear to many potential customers as though you have no reviews at all. Then they’re less likely to click on you — and more likely to check out your competitors.
Worst of all, you’re more likely to be outranked by your local competitors if they have more Google reviews than you do, even if their customers hate them and their reviews reek.
Problem: how to get Google reviews easily
You know Google reviews are crucial to your local visibility. But I’m guessing the problem is you don’t know of an easy way to ask customers to review you.
If you’ve ever tried explaining to customers how to create a free Google Plus account (which they need), how to find your Google+ Local page, and finally howto post a review, you probably know what a pain all this explaining can be.
(Oh, and you have to do all of that in just a few minutes, or your customers will tune out the way they did in 8th-grade algebra class.)
You find it frustrating and time-consuming.
Your customers get confused.
And you end up with no reviews and a phone that doesn’t ring.
Solution: clear instructions for your customers
Or you can do it the easy way. Getting Google reviews doesn’t have to be hard.
You just need a system that makes it easy for you to ask your customers, and that makes it easy for them to write you reviews.
That’s why I’ve put together a one-page handout that you can give your customers, which…
Shows them how to set up a Google Plus account;
Shows them where to find your Google page; and
Walks them through how to post you review – so thatyou don’t have to walk them through it every time.
All they need to do is follow the steps on the handout. ORDER NOW
Then you’ve got a stream of Google reviews coming in—and most likely a Google local ranking that’s more visible and that attracts more customers.
You can get your review handout now, a little lower down on this page.
Or if you’d like some more detail, here’s how the handout makes Google reviews easier for your customers to write and easier for you to get:
It’s simple and easy for your customers. The handout walks them step-by-step through how to set up a Google Plus page and how to write a review on your Google+ Local page. No frustration or guesswork for them—or you.
Got Positive Reviews Almost Immediately
“I purchased Phil’s ‘Google Review Handout’ to distribute to my clients, and almost immediately I had two very strong, positive reviews show up on Google. Other clients have indicated to me that they will write a review soon. What an easy way to have clients share their experience while at the same time, help grow my business!”
—Jenny Lancette
Perspective Consulting, Oakdale, MN
Works Even Better Than I Expected
“The review handout works even better than I expected. From 8 reviews to 14 in 2 weeks.”
—Michael Baker
Ambiance Pool Service, Tucson, AZ
I’ve laid out the steps in an easy-to-follow flowchart, complete with pictures. You’re not asking your customers to read paragraphs of text.
Practical, Logical, & Easy to Follow
“The Google review handout is practical, logical and easy to follow for anyone. I found it useful to be able to leave clients with the handout knowing that I just maximised my chances of being left a positive review.”
—Alex Worth
Clear Web Marketing, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK
Convenient
“Getting clients to write a review is tough. Either they’ll forget to do so, get intimidated by the whole process of signing up, or they just forget. Having Phil’s system at your disposal simplifies this process — it’s convenient and easy to understand. Plus, it helps give you a competitive edge over your competitors.”
—Bert Levi
Bert Levi Family Jewelers, San Diego, CA
It’s one page. You’re not intimidating or belaboring your customers by giving them a fat packet of instructions. It’s short and sweet and easy to follow.
Crystal-Clear & Indispensable for Getting Reviews
“I’ve purchased all of Phil’s ‘Google review’ materials, and they’re outstanding. Crystal-clear organisation, easy for my clients to give their customers & easy for customers to follow. Indispensable tools for getting Google Places reviews.”
—Mark Watts
SEOManchester, Haslingden, Rossendale, Lancashire, UK
You can simply hand copies to your customers in-person. Done deal.
We Don’t Have to Explain Anything to Clients
“If you want customers to make the effort to write a Google review about your business then you need to make it an easy process. The Google review handout does just that. Our staff don’t have to explain to clients how to write the review. They just hand them the step by step instructions fully customized for our business.”
—Joseph Puglisi
Physical Addiction Fitness Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Or you can email it to customers. When I customize your handout, I include links that customers can simply click on in order to take them to the steps.
It’s custom-tailored to your business. (That’s why once you order the handout, I’ll need to know the name of your business and where it’s located.)
Great Simple System for Clients to Use
“Before we started using Phil’s Google reviews handout, it was very difficult and time consuming to put a system in place for acquiring reviews. The review handouts make it very simple indeed. Now, we simply give clients a customised form (which impresses them!) and the system is in place to acquire new reviews from their customers.”
—Nicholas Pratt
I can make tweaks to the handout. If you see a change you’d like me to make after I send you the document, no problem. ORDER NOW
Phil Takes the Time to Get It Right
“I really liked the Google review handout as soon as I received it, but I also wanted Phil to make a couple of minor tweaks and customizations to it. Not only did he make the adjustments, but he did it fast, within an hour or two. Phil paid attention to detail so that I didn’t have to—and took the time to get the handout exactly the way I wanted it.”
—Jay Dunbar
Raleigh Wi-Fi Marketing, Raleigh, NC
It’s in a simple format: PDF. That means you can easily print it, and customers can easily open it if you email it to them.
Excellent Feedback from Clients
“We struggled for a long time asking our clients to post reviews with no real results. Of course, we got a few reviews, however, most people did not post them as they found it too difficult. When I saw Phil’s handouts, I decided to try them only for Google reviews and we got excellent feedback from our clients about how easy it is to post the reviews with these instructions. We give customers these instructions printed on paper and also email them as .pdf files. It is working just great!”
—Olga Pomeransky
Best for Bride, Barrie, Etobicoke, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada
If you have 2 locations I can give you a handout for each one. Even if your business has 2 separate Google+ Local pages, I’ll send you a handout customized to each (no need to place 2 orders).
It can work in your industry. I’ve created handouts for businesses in every industry you can shake a stick at, from audiology and accounting to zorbing and Zumba.
Clear & Concise
“With Google’s ‘Plus’ account requirements for clients who want to leave reviews, it’s critical to give clear, concise instructions on how to leave a review. Phil’s how-to sheet has given our clients just that info.”
—Lindsay Polyak
Knutson CPA, PLLC, Southlake, TX
The handout is tried and true: I give it to all my clients, who’ve field-tested it by giving it to their customers and getting Google reviews in return. I’ve created Google-review handouts for business owners in 46 US states, Australia, Brazil, 7 Canadian provinces, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, and the UK. Put another way, this simple tool has worked for businesses in 6 of the 7 continents on Earth (haven’t sold a review handout to anyone in Antarctica…yet!).
Instant Home Run
“I had created several handouts to give my clients, that they in turn would give to their customers to walk them through the review process, but the ‘Google Review Handout’ I bought from Phil was an instant home run, my clients love it because it saves them time and they get more reviews.”
—Bill Enross
Bill Enross Internet Marketing, Foxboro, MA
Great for Businesses in South Africa
“I have over 16 years experience when it comes to internet services overall. Specialising in Inbound and Paid Marketing (SEO – SEM mostly) the past 5 – 7 years. I can truly say that this Google+ Local handout by Phil is awesome and the best idea so far especially for businesses listed on Google+ Local in the South Africa market. Consumers here are not that skilled to even know how to do such a review much less even have a Google Account.”

Look Like a Hero
“I have a client that I promised I would help create a review management process for. Getting reviews was a big part of the contract because, even though they had a thriving dental practice, they only had two reviews. Just as I was starting to get to work I came across Phil’s Local Visibility System website and saw the one-page Handout for Google Reviews. The handout wraps the whole process of posting reviews into a nice little easy-to-follow package. Phil has knocked it out of the park. At first I was a little leery of the $20 price tag for a one page document, but I couldn’t have come up with anything this good if I had spent two days on it….Magic. Thanks Phil. You saved me a ton of work and now I look like a hero to my client.”

What parts of the handout are customized?
A header that asks your customers to write a review for your business.
Which specific words customers must type into Google to find your Google+ Local page immediately.
Embedded links that help your customers do the steps just by clicking on them—perfect if you email your customers the handout.
Your business contact info (usually your phone and website address).
Your logo.
Pretty much any bells and whistles you’d like (your slogan, a watermark, etc.).
Guides Customers Seamlessly

Phil at LocalVisibilitySystem provides me with a great time-saving solution: the handout for Google Places reviews. It’s a simple infographic consisting of custom screen shots accompanied by simple instructions, guiding the customers seamlessly through the process of leaving a review and rating of their recent experience with a business. I provide my clients with these simple handouts, who in turn, give them to their customers, in order to bolster their online review prominence and local search rankings. Again, a great time-saver for me, as well as for my clients – thanks Phil!”
—Dino Basaldella

Would Have Taken Me Hours
“My time is worth a lot so before I start creating something on my own I figure out how long it will take me. Then I take a small portion of that time to search and see if someone else has already done it. Recently I was considering creating a vehicle to drive more reviews to my clients’ Google pages. I figured it would take me a few hours to build a template, write the copy, insert links, etc. Before I got started I did a quick search and found Local Visibility System. Phil had already done all the work for me! With a click and $20 Phil created a customized page which was perfect for my needs. My time is worth a heck of a lot more than $10 an hour so getting the review handout was an absolute bargain.”
—Mark Kanty

Good facts to know about reviews in general
Reviews may or may not single-handedly improve your Google local rankings. That just depends on whether you’ve implemented other important steps. But reviews are a huge part of local visibility in Google—and without them, you’re at a major disadvantage to your local competitors. You’re also far more likely to attract new customers if they can see that your current customers are happy with you.
My review handout doesn’t guarantee perfect 5-star reviews. Nothing can. It simply shows your customers how to write reviews. You’ll get great reviews because you do a great job for your customers, not because of anything I can say or do.
Every Client Wants One
“These review handouts are by far the easiest and cheapest way for reputation management. It’s a brilliant idea. Every client that I mention this to wants one.”
—Oleg Levitas
Pravda Media, Brooklyn, NY
Not everyone you give the review handout to will write you a review. There’s no way to bat .1000. You’re making it easy for them to write you a review, so your batting average should be very good, but some segment of your customers simply won’t get around to it, for whatever reason. That’s always how it is. But that’s fine: you only need some of them to write reviews.
A Tangible Reminder & Friendly Tool
“I love the Google Places handout. It’s not easy to get clients to write reviews, even when they are happy with our service. The handout serves 2 purposes: a tangible reminder as well as a friendly tool to make it easier for my clients to leave me reviews.”
—Michael Mandis, CRMS
Alliance Mortgage Funding, Inc., Cockeysville, MD
You should take your time with collecting reviews. Steadiness is important—whether it’s fast and steady or slow and steady. If you get too many in too short a time period, you’ll raise a red flag at Google (they’ll think you’re getting phony reviews). The best way to use this handout is to treat it like a business card: something you routinely give every customer without even thinking about it.
3 Reviews in a Week
“I’ve already received 3 new Google reviews in less than a week. In today’s everyday chaos this simple handout is a must if you want more reviews.”
—Chad Celi
Reset Strategies, Louisville, KY
