Let's Chat Google My Business (GMB)

[Andy Black]

I've a friend who does carpet and floor cleaning with his wife.

When they leave a happy client's property they ask if they'd leave a review. This is the perfect time to ask since they're delighted with the service and he's literally in front of them asking. It's hard for them to say No.

When they agree, he whips out his phone and texts them links to where they can leave a Google review and a Facebook review. He then asks them to check they received the text and that the link works.

They get their phone out, open the message, and click the link to check.

He then bids them a cheery goodbye and heads to the van with his wife, leaving the client with the phone in their hand and the review app open, ready for their gushing review.

They've been going for just over 3 years and already have 232 reviews, all geniune.

Here's a Google search showing his 5 star reviews.

• Note this is a screenshot of what's below the Local Service Ads (Google Guaranteed listing), and the Google Ad we setup for him.
• Note also that we've somehow got a sponsored listing into the map pack too... so the top two listings in this screenshot are his.

I've never setup a Google My Business listing myself, or optimised any.

I want to do this for a friend who we've got 6 little micro sites for. I'm not sure how it will work when he's got more than one site.


Anyone else doing well with Google My Business (GMB) listings?

Any good resources for me to get up to speed, fast?
