\u2018How to create a direct link for Google My Business for getting direct customer reviews?\u2019 \u2013 This is a fairly common question that I get asked a lot these days. And well, why not? Google My Business is a very powerful tool that doesn\u2019t even require a single buck out of our pockets.<\/p>\n

With more than 90% of customers researching online before even contacting the business, it isn\u2019t that hard to determine that they solely do so for reviews. And why should reviews be considered so important? That\u2019s because customer reviews provide a social proof, they validate your business\u2019s existence. 84% of people tend to trust reviews by follow customers<\/u><\/em> as much as they trust recommendations from their friends and families. And that can have a pretty big impact on your business.<\/p>\n

And while reviews on other website are all cool, one should keep in mind that Google rules the internet. Certain researches also point out that 5 is the ideal number of Google My Business reviews<\/strong>. As you attain the count, you\u2019ll most likely begin seeing the benefits of organic search results.<\/p>\n

Another benefit that Google My Business renders is that since it requires a reviewer to have a Google account, it\u2019s more likely to be a legitimate review from a real person.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest problems that Google My Business solves is that it reduces friction. It takes too many clicks for an average person to leave a review. It can also be confusing for most of the customers and make interaction with your business more difficult. But with Google my Business, you can send a direct link to your customers for reviews<\/strong><\/i>.<\/p>\n
