We all have good experiences as well as bad experiences when visiting local businesses, but how often are you sharing that experience with other potential customers? Sure, most of us will share our experience with friends and family, but that information is just as valuable for anyone else looking to visit. The accumulation of reviews can have a significant impact on the future of the business. If you had a great experience, give them a boost by letting others know on the world wide web!
This article goes into a step by step process on how to find, post, and edit your reviews on Google and Facebook. Neither process takes more than 60 seconds to do.
