Small Businesses depend upon word of mouth. And that means Reviews! If you have had a positive experience with a small business, please be sure to leave them a positive review!
Potential customers look for reviews in deciding where to go, and who to trust. Simply having no reviews – not even bad reviews, just none – can convince a potential customer to keep looking for other options. When people see positive reviews they are more likely to trust a new to them business and give it a try!
Reviews also help small businesses to improve their products and services! Tell us what you liked, what you loved, and how we can improve. What products or services do you want to see added?
Perhaps most importantly, to small business owners, is that reviews will help their businesses appear more often in search results – which means that they are more likely to be seen by potential customers if you leave a review. Leave your reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook to help in this way.
Leaving a review is a FREE and easy way to show your support. You can help small businesses you know and love to grow and succeed. And it can help other people discover the great businesses in their community! Which also means they have a better chance at success, and will stick around for you to enjoy them longer.
So, even if you are feeling self-conscious about writing about your experience, please be sure to take the time to give them at least a rating, and maybe a simple “Thank you!” or “Great job!” Not only will it make a real persons day but it will help their business tremendously in the future.
