your prospects are researching something, they&#8217;re most likely going to Google it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If your customers want to find your new opening hours or call you to inquire about your

Additionally, if you offer incentives, it\u2019s less likely you\u2019ll receive an honest review. Instead, send friendly emails to customers asking them to review your business after they\u2019ve used your services.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testimonial_email_templates\"><\/span>Testimonial email templates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While there are many methods to collect reviews, we\u2019ll take a look at three series of templates and email subject lines that have been proven time and again to work well for securing better testimonials. Each series is a little different.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Series_1_Why_Us\"><\/span>Series 1: Why Us?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This first series of testimonial email templates include two emails in total with one optional follow-up. The <em>Why Us<\/em> series intends to open with an honest question and close with a review request if the review is a positive one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This series works well for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Service businesses<\/li>\n<li>Gathering testimonials, you can also use on your website<\/li>\n<li>Customers who are reliable communicators<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If there\u2019s a chance that the review is lacking the detail or overall feedback you\u2019d anticipated \u2014 the first email in Series 1 gives you a chance to mitigate before sending the follow-up request for a review. If the review was not a positive one, you\u2019d have an opportunity to show your customers how invested you are. Following up on a negative review also gives you the chance to dig in a little more and find out what went wrong or how to make your offering better in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re satisfied with the reply, move on to the second email.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If they don\u2019t reply, try sending the Optional Follow-Up Email about two weeks after Email 2. If they become non-responsive, it\u2019s OK to move on. There will be more opportunities to collect better testimonials in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the templates<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Series_2_Direct_Ask\"><\/span>Series 2: Direct Ask<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This second series of testimonial email templates include one email in total with one optional follow-up. The <em>Direct Ask<\/em> series intends to open with direct ask and close out with a review left on your GMB page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This series works well for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Products and\/or Services<\/li>\n<li>Customers you already know had a great experience and will have no problem leaving a testimonial<\/li>\n<li>Reliable customers that have little time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If they don\u2019t reply, try sending the Optional Follow-Up Email about two weeks after Email 2. If they become non-responsive, it\u2019s ok to move on. There will be more opportunities to collect reviews in the future. However, If this is a great customer, set a reminder on your calendar to follow up for a third and final time in about 30 days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the templates<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Series_3_Additional_Reviews\"><\/span>Series 3: Additional Reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This third testimonial email template includes one email for you to send <strong>after they&#8217;ve reviewed you on Google<\/strong>. Wait about a month after they added the initial review. The intention behind the <em>Additional Reviews <\/em>series is to obtain additional reviews on other platforms outside of GMB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This series works well for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anyone who has already left you a positive review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Get the templates<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_reviews_to_your_website\"><\/span>Add reviews to your website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you also add the reviews to your website. Doing this will help fuel the connection of social proof between an external review site and your website.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the review you\u2019d requested, you may want to ask your customer whether they\u2019d like to submit a headshot or use their company logo along with the review.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If they have a LinkedIn profile, you can also ask if they\u2019d like to use that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Don\u2019t quite have an official spot to add customer testimonials on your website? Consider using other methods to collect, monitor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/reviewsonmywebsite.com\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">display customer reviews<\/a>, such as reviewsonmywebsite.com.<\/p>\n<p>With this type of review collection tool, you can manage all of your reviews from one place and easily add them to your website with a small piece of code. It\u2019s relatively easy and also inexpensive for what you get out of it.<\/p>\n<p>The lowest tiered plan provides a variety of easily embeddable and customizable widgets and badges you can add anywhere on your website. Other plans include additional features, like creating a testimonial page for customers to share reviews.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Respond_to_your_Google_reviews\"><\/span>Respond to your Google reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Last but certainly not least, you can increase your conversion rates and value by responding to customers who have left you a review. Google even confirms this on their support page with a note that says, \u201cTo improve your business\u2019s local ranking, use Google My Business to claim and update your business information.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_ways_to_respond_to_positive_reviews\"><\/span>3 ways to respond to positive reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Just say, \u201cThank you\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Saying thanks is a simple yet impactful way to show gratitude for their business and the time they\u2019d spent leaving your business a good review.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk about the future<\/strong> \u2014 Give them a reason to come back for more business. Did the reviewer mention anything about future plans?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be specific, B-E specific<\/strong> &#8211; Recall something that stood out to you about your experience in working with them, too. It will give your response a personal touch that won\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Respond_to_negative_reviews\"><\/span>Respond to negative reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not ALL reviews are going to be positive. Someone may leave a negative review that you did not ask for or was unexpected. It\u2019s also essential to respond to negative feedback.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thank them for their feedback, and apologize. After all, any feedback is valuable information that you can use to improve current business practices.<\/li>\n<li>Do not argue! Focus on the \u201cwhat\u201d of the issue, and never place blame.<\/li>\n<li>Provide them the opportunity to get in touch with you offline to discuss and potentially turn the review into a positive one.<\/li>\n<li>Try not to say more than what\u2019s needed. Handle quickly and politely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, if the review is entirely false where someone is trying to rustle your feathers for the heck of it, you do have the option to report it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_about_getting_better_testimomials\"><\/span>FAQ about getting better testimomials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_automate_my_review_request_emails\"><\/span>Can I automate my review request emails?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While automation can work so well for email marketing, we don\u2019t recommend automating email requests for service businesses or businesses directly contacting their customers.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to receive honest feedback, submit a legitimate request. Otherwise, you may encounter challenges such as a third-party email automation service not being verified with your website domain. In other words, this means that your customers could potentially get an email that looks like it comes from MailChimp, for example, and not necessarily you. And these days, those emails go right to spam.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_my_customer_asks_me_to_write_the_review_for_them\"><\/span>What if my customer asks me to write the review for them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Composing your customer\u2019s review is a great opportunity. An excellent approach to this would be to hop on a call with your customer and ask them why they chose to work with you and your services or products in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Use Email 1 in the <em>Why Us <\/em>Series like talking points for your call. Then, after you\u2019ve written the testimonial, edit and use Email 1 from the <em>Additional Reviews<\/em> Series. Edits: Include the copy you\u2019ve written for the customer, and ask them to copy\/paste it at the included link to the review site you want them to post it on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_I_customize_the_templates_will_they_still_be_effective_for_collecting_reviews\"><\/span>If I customize the templates, will they still be effective for collecting reviews?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, make them your own!
