Google Reviews Tab | Gather Feedback & Boost Reputation

If your business has a range of happy clients, getting them to add a review to your Google My Business page is a great way to build a fantastic reputation online.

Though Google Reviews itself isn’t new, the tech giant recently introduced a new feature that allows people to switch between two tabs on your Google My Business page on mobile – one for Overview, a second for your Google Posts and the third for Reviews. This makes it easier for people to see your reviews by simply clicking on the tab and scrolling down to see the full list.

Here’s an example of Melbourne Media Consulting’s Google My Business page on mobile:

Why is it so important?

This new feature just adds to the importance of asking your clients to add a review that raves about their experience with your business. People are using search engines more and more in their efforts of finding a product or business, which means it’s vital that you have a range of positive reviews. In regards to Reviews on Google, it’s been revealed that almost 78% of all searches are conducted on Google, which makes your Google Reviews that much more important.

In fact, a recent online survey conducted by Bright Local highlighted a range of important statistics, including:

53% of people conduct a search online for local businesses at least once a month
91% of people read online reviews for business
84% of people trust online reviews as much as they trust personal recommendations
Almost 75% of people believe that having positive reviews makes them trust a local business more
More than 50% of people will visit a website after they’ve positive reviews about that business

How can someone leave a Google Review?

Firstly, your business must have a Google My Business page in order for someone to leave a review. Once they find your page, they can simply go through the following steps:

They must sign into their Google account
Click Write a review
Add a rating up to the value of 5 stars
Share details of their experience with your business
Add any relevant photos
Click Post

It’s that easy!

Lawrence and the team at Melbourne Media have helped grow our business from being slightly on the map to the best on the map. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for more web traffic, generated web leads and business growth thru exposure. A BIG thank you from all the team here :)

Since engaging the services of Melbourne Media in January 2017 we have had an astounding improvement in our rankings. Matt undertook the appropriate analyses necessary of both our websites and implemented the changes required to get us ranking organically on page 1 in all key areas of our practice. Matt has provided exceptional support and his expertise has been invaluable. Prior to Melbourne Media taking over our SEO we were mostly ranking behind our competitors. We are provided with regular reports, face to face meetings and recommendations to keep us ahead of our competitors. I would sincerely recommend both Matt and Lawrence who have, and continue to improve our rankings, websites and provide all the support we need. North Western Vascular genuinely thanks and recommends Melbourne Media based of their service.

Matt and Travis have been so helpful to our company. Bringing up our social media leads and helping us achieve our goals in certain areas, I highly recommend using MMC to anyone looking to achieve greater things.

The team at MMC are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful. At Bevilles we've been thrilled with the SEO improvement we've seen in the time we've been working with them. Mik and Lawrence are lovely to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend them highly to anyone looking for a fantastic SEO partner.

After talking to a number of Search Engine Optimisation Companies we were very impressed with the simple way Melbourne Media described what they could achieve for us and the costs involved. They followed through and got some good results for us in a very competitive market. Mik and his team were all over our site and every detail that was happening with it, making sure it was all reported back to us. Happy to recommend them to anyone wanting a no fuss injection into their digital footprint. Kevin...

We have been with Lawrence and his team for several years, and the growth we have seen in our business has been beyond our expectations. We have 1:1 regular meetings with Matt and the work that goes into our website is updated regularly and is timely. We meet to discuss are google rankings and Matt provides suggestions as well as listening to us as to where we want to go and how the business is performing. We are constantly adding blogs and the changes are updated within 24hrs. Would highly recommend Melbourne Media Consulting.

Since appointing Melbourne Media company for our Website optimisation we have been more than pleased with their professionalism and most importantly their results. Lawrence and his team are responsive to our needs and have introduced us to an extensive network of professionals that have combined together to really make great headway with our online presence, in contrast to who we were using prior the difference was huge. We look forward to working with them next year and watching our sales grow as a result. Thanks guys.

Melbourne Media Consulting are fantastic. Our business had lots of issues with other digital marketing companies being costly and confusing in what they were actually doing for us but moving to Melbourne Media in March 2016 was a complete breath of fresh air. They provide total transparency with costs, superb communication and provide highly skillful technical work. Highly Recommended.

It isn't often that I feel compelled to write in to compliment a business on their service however I could not pass up on this one as it was beyond good. I just wanted to give a massive thumbs-up to Melbourne Media Consulting! I spoke to Lawrence earlier today about getting some good quality advertising after hearing from one of their customers who was beyond happy with the results since they began advertising with Melbourne Media Consulting. It was established fairly early in the phone call that they are currently way beyond my available budget but despite that we spent close to half an hour talking which was mostly Lawrence giving me some free advice and tips on how to do some things myself. It's quite obvious that MMC want people to succeed in their business endeavors and I will have no hesitation about hiring them when my business grows enough to make the exercise affordable. I was treated like an A+ customer and I'm not even a customer (yet!). If more businesses shared the philosophy of Melbourne Media Consulting, the Australian economy would be booming. I understand their philosophy is about being open and honest, and doing the right thing by people; this has been very well demonstrated. Thanks again.

Our business started as a client of Melbourne Media over a year ago and they have shown of some significant increases in traffic flow and conversion to our site. (Over 500% increase in areas and we'd already been with another SEO/SEM firm) Both Mik and Lawrence know their stuff and will always lead you in the right direction for your business by utilising your funds in the right areas to make them count. I've suggested Melbourne Media to several friends of mine that are business owners!
