Implementing a Home Services Review Tool: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose the Right Tool: Research and select a feedback and review tool that best fits your business needs and budget.
2. Set Up Your Account: Follow the provider's instructions to set up your account, ensuring all your business information is accurate and up to date. Some providers do this for you, a valuable time-saver.
3. Integrate with Review Platforms: Connect your home services review tool to your Google Profile, or other relevant review sites where your business is listed.
4. Customize Your Settings: Tailor the feedback and review request process to match your brand voice and customer journey. Again, some providers do this for you.
5. Train Your Team: Ensure all team members understand how to use the review software for home services and the importance of reviews.
6. Leverage Integrations & Automations: Some providers can automatically connect to your back-office software so customer contact details for recently completed services flow automatically into the home services review tool.
7. Launch Your Review Campaign: Begin sending automated feedback and review requests to your customers after service completion.
8. Monitor and Respond: Regularly check for new feedback and reviews and respond promptly, both positive and negative.
9. Analyze and Adjust: Use the home services review tool's analytics to track your performance and make necessary adjustments to your strategy.

Leveraging Positive Feedback to Attract New Customers

There is no better way to tell the story of your business than in the words of your own happy customers. Positive reviews are a goldmine for attracting new customers. Here's how you can maximize their impact:

• Showcase Testimonials on Your Website: Use widgets or dedicated testimonial pages to display your best reviews prominently.
• Share on Social Media: Regularly post positive reviews on your social media channels to extend their reach.
• Include Testimonials in Marketing Materials: Incorporate customer testimonials in your brochures, flyers, and other marketing collateral. Do you operate a fleet of vehicles? Wrap your vehicles with your brand and customer testimonials.
• Create Case Studies: Transform detailed positive reviews into in-depth case studies to showcase your expertise.
• Use in Email Marketing: Include snippets of positive reviews in your email newsletters to build trust with potential customers.

Remember, with customer feedback, testimonials and reviews, authenticity is key. Always ask for permission before using a customer's review in your marketing efforts. Some providers automate the process of asking for permission, making this process easy, too.
