In 2025, 93% of consumers read online reviews before making a purchase. And Google reviews are the most visible and influential of them all. For Utah local businesses, your Google review profile is often the first impression potential customers have of you. Let's make it count.
The Psychology of Reviews
Understanding why people leave reviews helps you get more of them:
Exceptional experiences - Both very positive and very negative. When asked directly - Most satisfied customers simply forget. Reciprocity - After you've done something extra for them. Convenience - The easier you make it, the more reviews you get
Ethical Strategies to Get More Reviews
The best time to ask for a review is immediately after delivering a positive outcome. "I'm so glad you're happy with the results! Would you mind sharing your experience on Google?"
Create a direct link to your Google review page and share it via:
Text message follow-ups. Email signatures. QR codes in your business. Thank-you cards
Every customer-facing team member should know how and when to ask for reviews. Make it part of your process.
This shows you care and encourages others to leave reviews. More on this below.
Responding to Reviews Like a Pro
Thank them by name. Reference something specific about their experience. Invite them back
Example: "Thank you so much, Sarah! We loved helping you with your kitchen remodel-that tile choice was perfect. Can't wait to see you for the bathroom next!"
