A Sure-Fire Way To Improve Your Ranking – GET POSITIVE REVIEWS!

Accumulating positive reviews for your business will increase trust, brand authority and overall site rank.  The key is to make your customers so happy that they want to let others know just how great you are!

As an SEO and marketing agency serving SME’s we understand that lack of budget can sometimes be a sticking point when it comes to committing to an ongoing SEO strategy.

We have helped many small businesses and start-ups to get found online, and if there is no budget available for ongoing support, we will at the very least, provide guidance and advice so the client is equipped with the tools they need to take their business further forward. But some of you out there may not be aware that you can be giving your site a boost FOR FREE!  

Building Trust & Brand Authority

If you do have more budget available to invest in SEO, we strongly recommend a business to build a strong link profile through the creation of quality backlinks, to generate more citations, commit to regular blog posting and increase their level of social media engagement.

One other important element of the SEO mix, which is often overlooked, is building brand trust and authority. This is achieved through building quality links but also by increasing brand mentions across the web. How do you increase brand mentions? By getting people talking about your business! Generating positive reviews is a sure fire way to improve your ranking.

Google and other search engines, including those within huge merchant sites such as Amazon and Ebay will reward you for acquiring positive reviews. There is good reason for this – happy customers become loyal customers, and loyal customers are what we, and the review sites, need more of.

Good reviews are definitely good for business!

You will need to accrue a few positive reviews to ignite enough rocket fuel to fire up the rank boost , but once they start to build, it will increase your domain and brand authority and your site will be rewarded, not only with an increase in rank, but with overall increased organic visibility, higher volumes of traffic and higher conversion rates.

So where is the best place for customers to leave reviews which will help improve your site ranking?

The Answer is EVERYWHERE possible! And what makes this so great is that whatever size your business, and no matter how little budget you have available for marketing, there is plenty of opportunity! Below are a number of sites where you can generate reviews, and some without spending a bean!

    We have been dealing with Louise at Whizz Marketing Services along with the web designer that she kindly recommended we use, we have had nothing but a great experience with Louise from her copywriting to SEO marketing strategies. We are grateful that Louise has been patient with us, ALWAYS delivered what we have asked of her and very quickly too, I am not always the fastest at getting back as I have to check in with two directors before I can make final decisions but again, very patient. I feel Louise completely understood the image we like to portray and the content that she wrote up for our website reflects this. Very happy, will be using Louise for many years to come and will recommend to anybody looking for similar services. Also, recommend the web designer that is recommended by Louise as they work hand in hand with each other perfectly. Brilliant communication, friendly and reliable and local too, so glad we found Whizz!

    Louise has a friendly, professional and efficient approach and is easy to work with. I don’t have time to manage the marketing of the business, so it’s great to have an agency I can rely on to do what is needed to keep the brand visibility high in Google and manage the social profiles.  The stronger online brand presence we now have has definitely contributed to the growth and success of my business. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Whizz Marketing.

    Whizz Marketing was recommended to us by our graphic designer back in 2016. Louise very quickly understood what we wanted to achieve with the rebranding and new website, and worked well with the web developer and graphic designer to help produce a site that not only looked great and clearly defined our brand and ethos, but using her SEO knowledge, she made sure the site worked to attract the right audience, increasing our brand visibility in Google and driving targeted traffic.Louise has continued to provide dedicated support over the years as and when we have needed it. She has been very flexible in her approach and is very easy to work with. She has done a fantastic job for us and I would not hesitate in recommending Whizz Marketing.

    Louise at Whizz Marketing has been a great help to us in the re-design of our website and launch of a new marketing and social media strategy. Louise co-ordinated the website design, build and content on our behalf ensuring everything hit the latest SEO requirements. This provided the launch pad for a new blog and social media strategy, which Louise also managed on our behalf. We’re very happy with the new design and our website performance and traffic KPIs are moving in a very positive direction within a matter of weeks

    Whizz Marketing have more than met my expectations. I was struggling to get my website to a consistently prominent position on internet searches. They have put that right. They are not pushey, they are fairly priced, get results, and ideal for small local businesses. I run Yoga Mind and Body which is based in Camberley but I want to get good results in each of the three areas in which I teach: Deepcut, Hook and Hartley Wintney. I am now going to get Whizz to work with me on more generic local marketing in anticipation that it will yield more people coming to my yoga classes.Many thanks Louise and your team.Namaste, JohnstonJohnston Lowry Founder / Teacher / Yoga Mind and Body
