STEP 5 | FOLLOW REVIEWS

One of the strengths of Google My Business is customer reviews. They can share their experiences with new customers and that gives a huge boost to your credibility and authenticity as a company. Other side of the coin? Negative reviews also get a place on your dashboard and cannot be deleted. As a company, you send a professional and strong signal to customers when you respond to their feedback. Both positive and negative messages. Thank them or show understanding and try to improve their next experience. Either way, you'll score good points with this.
