One of the best ways to be found on the Internet to launch or grow your brand is to get reviews on Google My Business.

Prior to Google my Business, you had to consistently work to be found near the top of page one on search. By being found on Google my Business, you are automatically in the Google my Business section which is found near top of page one in search. Plus its free.

According to Google My Business:

Customers and businesses both benefit when a business is reviewed on Google. Customers can make informed decisions based on information from people they trust. Businesses can strengthen their relationship with customers by directly engaging with reviewers on Google.

To encourage reviews for your business:

Remind your customers to leave feedback on Google. Simply reminding customers that it’s quick and easy to leave feedback on Google on mobile or desktop can help your business stand out from sites with fewer reviews.
Become an active presence on Google and respond to reviews. Your customers will notice that your business values their input and respond with more reviews.
Make sure your business information is verified. Only verified local Google+ pages can respond to reviews.
Reviews are only valuable when they are honest and unbiased. Read more in our review posting guidelines.
