When it comes to booking more clients for your business, nothing says more about your business than the customer reviews on your profile. Many times, it’s the first place people check, even before looking over your prices. Clearly, the more reviews you have the better. In fact, as many as 90% of potential customers were affected by a business’s positive online reviews, and 86% were impacted by negative online reviews. In short, your business needs more reviews—but how do you go about getting them? Below, you can find our six simple tips for increasing for getting more reviews.

Wow Your Clients

Provide your clients with such a good experience that they’re eager to sing your praises. Treat everyone like your top customer and cater to their individual needs as much as possible. The better you make them look, the more reviews you'll get.

Remind Your Clients—and Your Staff—About the Value of Reviews

Ask you clients how their appointment went and if you could do anything better next time. Drive home how important their feedback can mean to your success. Also remind your staff to routinely ask clients to leave more reviews, particularly the ones who loved their experience. Since they have a relationship with clients, they can be more successful in persuading someone to leave a review.

Make Clients Want to Leave Reviews and Employees Want to Get Reviews

Implementing a simple system of rewards helps motivate employees to ask clients for reviews. Maybe this comes in the form of offering a discount on their next visit, a free hot towel shave, or a wash and blow dry. Whatever little perk you can afford can go a long way with your clients. Try to create some sense of urgency in your staff as well. Maybe it’s a monthly competition and whoever gets the most reviews gets an extra paid day-off or a $50 bonus. You know your staff best. Figure out what would motivate them to put on that little bit of charm with each client.

Share Your Best Work on Social and Link to Your Best Reviews

Post pictures of your best work on your social media along with a snippet of a favorable review. Link back to the review and inform your other followers that if they want a featured shoutout, all they have to do is leave a review of their experience along with pictures of their finished look on their account and tag your business.
