Learn How to Get More Reviews on Google to Rank Higher on Search!
Do you have a Google My Business page? How many reviews do you have? What’s your overall rating out of 5.0?
Your online Google presence is similar to a first impression. Would you choose a 2-star restaurant to eat at on Yelp? No, why would you choose a 2-star restaurant in a city full of five or even 4-star places? Online presence is everything and seems intimidating to achieve, but in reality, the rating is easier to obtain than you think with a few steps. Watch as our founder Mac Frederick explains 5 easy steps to getting more 5-star reviews!
- Choose your company
Whether you’re business or agency, make sure your website is running properly and showing up in google searches.

The goal is to have more local search traffic results so people in the area can get access and find your business valuable.
- Find the proper Google Account & Contact Info
Make sure the proper information is on Google. Is the location correct? Is the phone number right? Are the hours okay? Is the location of your company directing people properly to your business on Google Maps? Really take the time to make sure that the website information is showing up in a clear, informative, and easily accessible way for your customers.
