Are your clients constantly asking you to help them to get more 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀, but your team is already stretched thin? If you’re an 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿, this might sound familiar:

you have a stream of clients who want higher Google rankings, more leads, and an unending flood of 5-star reviews ideally, they want results like yesterday.

I recently took a client from just 11 to 394 Google reviews in under three weeks.

Here’s exactly how we did it, so you can, too.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀

𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀
Don’t just ask everyone pinpoint those who’ve had positive experiences. We used our tagging tools on All - in - One Marketing platform at SlateGray Digital to segment recent satisfied customers for targeted outreach.

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
We created a trackable direct link to the client’s Google review page using 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼. This minimized friction and boosted conversion rates.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘀
Our messages weren’t generic. Each email and SMS was tailored, mentioning specifics about the customer’s experience with the services offered. This personal touch dramatically increased response rates.

𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗨𝗽𝘀
If someone didn’t respond, we sent a gentle reminder after 48 hours, and another 48 hours if theres still no response. Persistence pays off, but always remain polite and non-intrusive.

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀
As new reviews rolled in, we thanked contributors and shared the progress with the community and we created a review widget that showcases their real reviews on their website and social media platforms. This encouraged even more participation.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 (𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝘁)
This system leverages the power of personalization, convenience, and smart follow-up without overwhelming your existing team. You can easily adapt this framework for any client looking to dominate their 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 and boost their 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗘𝗢.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 D𝗼 𝗜 A𝘀𝗸 F𝗼𝗿 R𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 W𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 S𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 D𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲?

If you’ve ever felt awkward asking customers for a review?
It's HARD I know, I can relate...

A salon owner once told me,
“Femi, I hate begging for reviews. It just feels off.”
I told her,
“You’re not supposed to beg. You’re supposed to automate the moment.”

💡 Simply because:
Getting 5-star reviews shouldn't feel like chasing people down.

✅ The key is to make your request feel like part of the customer experience, not an extra task.

Ask when the vibes are high, like right after a “thank you!”
Use simple, human language.
And always drop a direct link. No confusion.

🔧 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗽:
Next time a customer says they’re happy, say:
“Awesome! Would you mind sharing that in a quick Google review? It helps others find us. Here’s the link: [insert short review link]”

📈 Google favors businesses with fresh, frequent reviews.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 = 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 = 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀.

That’s Reputation ROI.
And the best part is that with an effective 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗢𝗥𝗠) System in place, you don’t even have to ask manually.
The system does the work while you focus on your business.

Here’s a fun way to think about your business:
your core product or service is like a potato. 🥔 Yes ooo, a P-O-T-A-T-O

A potato can be baked, mashed, or turned into fries, waffle fries, or even tater tots. It’s still all the same thing if you think about it for real, but how it’s packaged is what completely changes how people see it and, let’s be honest, we’d probably all pay more for some crispy waffle fries over a plain baked potato. 🍟✨

Your business offers also work the same way. Sometimes, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel—you just need to repackage what you already have in a way that speaks to a different customer or highlights a new value of the product/services you're selling.

I’ve seen this play out in my journey. I was all about selling the features of my software until I realized people don't care about your product; they care more about what your product can do for them. One small tweak in how I presented something, and suddenly, it changed a whole lot with a whole new group of people wanting my services.

So, take this as your homework: what’s one way you can repackage your ‘potato’ to attract new customers? 🚀

Drop your ideas below, and let’s brainstorm together!👇

I hope you know that your Customers notices this.
I see this all the time mostly with Franchise brands
for reasons such as,

They have Inconsistent reviews across their locations
or Their Staffs are too “𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆” to ask
or they are requesting Reviews manually (or not at all) and that’s not just messy, it costing you real money.

Online reviews directly affect sales.
the more stars you get, the more you gain trust and that eventually translates to more bookings.

as a matter of fact,
Google rewards the businesses with the most recent and frequent reviews.

So how do you fix this without chasing people or adding more work to what your employees to-do list?

Simply Automate review requests across all your branches.

and this is how we do it with 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼 software:

✅ After a service is complete, the system sends a friendly follow-up via text or email.
✅ Happy customers get asked for a public review.
✅ Unhappy ones get redirected to private feedback so you can fix issues fast.
✅ You can track which branch is performing best, and where to improve.

📈 This one small move is what I have used to helped a local chain go from 200 total reviews → over 800 in 60 days.

You don’t have to beg or micromanage to get online feedbacks.
You just need the right system.

I’ve learned that Money loves speed. 💸
The faster you move, the faster opportunities come your way.

When I stopped waiting for the ‘perfect’ plan and started prototyping solutions instead, things finally started to click. I took action; I did it afraid, and I found out that taking action—even when it's not a perfect action—creates some type of momentum. And momentum itself? That’s the secret sauce for progress.

A perfect procrastination won’t pay the bills, but imperfect action just might change everything for you. 🚀

So, Do it Afraid!

Ask yourself, What’s that one step you can take today to build momentum?

You know what I’ve realized?
We only remember about 10% of what we hear, but when we share something, that percentage jumps to 95%. Crazy, right? I’ve seen this firsthand in my own journey.

When I started actively sharing my ideas, participating in conversations, and really engaging with my community, that was when everything began to click. It wasn’t just about helping others (though that’s a huge part of it); it helped me grow too. Every time I passed on knowledge, I also understood that topic better. Every collaboration pushed me to think bigger.

So here’s my advice: stop keeping your ideas locked up. Share them with people of like minds. Teach others. Collaborate. You’ll be amazed at how much faster you’ll grow just by showing up and putting yourself out there.

That's me after back-to-back sales calls. 😵‍💫... does anyone else feel like this?

I used to think I had to do everything myself; it was hard for me to just trust anyone with my business. Maybe it's because of the environment I grew up in. I did everything all by myself—every call, every follow-up, every little detail. But let me tell you, times have changed.

Imagine having an 𝘼𝙄 𝙀𝙈𝙋𝙇𝙊𝙔𝙀𝙀 who handles those repetitive business engagements for you while you focus on what really matters.
It sounds like a dream, right? No, It’s not a dream. It’s the future of running a business without running yourself into the ground. 😆
