Whether you are a restaurant, a contractor, or retail store, one thing is certain these days. Potential customers are going to find out a lot about you before they even think about doing business with you.

I always stress to my clients how important it is to my clients for them to persuade customers to leave a review on Google, So in this short tutorial I am going to show you how to create a direct link that you can send to your current customers via a follow up email or whatever process you choose to use with your clients.

STEP 1:

The first thing you need to do is go here and get our Google PlaceID for our business location from google maps. After you have your ID, copy it and save it somewhere.

 

STEP 2:

Now that we have our PlaceID, we need to create the link.

Using this URL—> https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJHYbue6gXXIgRQnKDwrbgXW8

The text in red is the PlaceID. Now simply copy and paste the PlaceID you just got for your business in place of the current one in the link and that is it. You now have an easy way to send customers to a direct Google Review Pop-Up window.

Here is an example link showing you exactly how it works—> https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=ChIJHYbue6gXXIgRQnKDwrbgXW8
