I have not kept up on the whole reviews via mobile issue, but in the past there were all kinds of hoops to jump through and you had to go through a long explanation to tell customers how to leave you a Google review via mobile. And for a long time they could not even leave a review from mobile without downloading an app.
Depending on what phone, OS and apps they had installed sometimes you could send folks the link to your G+ L page, but the write a review option didn't even show up. Not sure if that's still the case. But at any rate, if it's still a problem, here is an alternate way to make it super easy for customers to leave a reviews.
Here is my link to Catalyst eMarketing using the method in the image above.
So just go to Local search on G+. Type business name, type city. Once the client's listing shows up, grab that link from address bar. Then use that link in emails when you ask for a reviews, and put on your review page on your site or wherever you ask for reviews.
So anyway, this tip comes by way of one of my Dental contacts: Bob Sommers from Five Star Review System
Here is a video where he explains and show you how to do it.
Thanks for the idea Bob!
I admit, maybe this is not a new idea and maybe I've just been out of the reviews and mobile loop lately. But I have to assume this is an idea that at least some of you have not thought to try?
What do you think?
Have you heard of this method or tried it for reviews before?
