You may have heard of them already, or maybe they're not yet in your market. But Google has unveiled a new product called Google Home Services, which is essentially a pay-per-lead service much like you see on Angie's List or Home Advisor. With Google now joining the pay-per-lead game, it really changes the game for most companies in how they approach their paid advertising strategies and how they choose to attract those customers. And since these "leads" from Google are guaranteed and backed by Google, as well as these listings being placed at the very top of the search results pages, it's no wonder that some companies are seeing instant results and return on investment with their dedicated ad spend for these home service leads. As Google continues to roll out their new Home Services ad platform, there are a few important things that you can do to position yourself to be included in this Google-approved business directory when it does finally reach your area. In this training episode, Bob will show you exactly what you need to do.How Home Improvement companies can create a system for gathering customer reviews
In both the eyes of Google and customers searching, one of the most important indicators of a company's authority as a service-based business is the quantity and quality of the number of reviews that your business has on various review sites across the Internet. Google is able to search all of those listings and then correlate that info and those reviews to the information that you provided on your Google Business page. When you only have a few reviews, or none at all, Google simply does not see you as a trusted and reputable business. But when you are able to showcase a high number of reviews, Google sees that as a sign of authority as well as longevity for your business and thus Google will list your business higher in the search rankings. What that means is that your company must have a consistent system for obtaining customer reviews every week and every month, if not every day even! On this training webinar, Bob suggests many ways that you can implement exactly this kind of system for your own company.Outline of this training episode:
