What good are your reviews if nobody sees them?

Whenever possible, you should show them off on your site by using a review ?widget? or badge. Many review sites offer them for the taking.

But review widgets and badges are more than flashy ?trust? symbols. They can also:

- Encourage any current / past customers who visit your site to leave reviews

- Help with your barnacle SEO (because you?re linking to your listings)

- Add a little extra color and je ne sais quoi to your site

Great post and nice list of badges Phil!

Thanks!

Awesome list phil! Thanks for this

Great insights Phil... thanks (as always) for helping us out with your knowledge!

On a related note, are we allowed (within Google's guidelines) to create our own badges about our 5-star Google Reviews and linking it to our G+ biz page?

Example of what I'm asking about:

@Deke

Yep, that's totally fine. Nice badge, by the way!

@Deke - good work on that badge.

@Phil - Just to clarify... Will linking a Google+ page to a custom badge on a website (or email) give Google a reason to want to filter a review coming directly from clicking that link?

As long as not everyone you ask to a review gets to your page by clicking the link, you should be fine.
