Our Review Generation and Monitoring Process
Onboard
We initiate our onboarding process with a discovery call where we set up an initial meeting with your team to understand your needs, goals, and priorities. We’ll cover any past work your team has conducted in review generation to discuss your concerns, clearly explain our approach for local listing strategy and development, then outline a detailed roadmap that combines our strategies with your specific goals for review generation.
Audit
Once we understand your needs and expectations, Vizion will conduct an extensive auditing process to gain the information we need to develop the best approach for generating more reviews from your customers. Our auditing stage begins with a competitive analysis where we evaluate your competitors for keywords, SEO ranking, their reviews and overall local presence. We also identify any opportunities they are taking advantage of that you are not and determine how we can modify their strategies to help you succeed.
Next, we perform a client review audit in which we assess the reviews you already have, make note of any responses to these reviews, and determine the strengths and weaknesses of your current review generation strategy. If you are struggling to obtain reviews, we’ll help you discover why by auditing your current website, your content, and other digital marketing concerns. We use a broad range of review generation tools, so we can select the best options for you, train you on how to operate them, and put an actionable plan in place for generating more reviews, as well as developing a process for responding to these reviews as they are submitted.

How Do I Generate a Link for Google Reviews?
There are a few different methods you can use to generate a link for Google Reviews, but Google My Business is a comprehensive toolkit when it comes to review generation and monitoring. Using Google My Business is the easiest way to create a link and share it with your customers so they can submit reviews on your location page with minimal effort. To obtain this link:
1. Log into your Google My Business account.
2. On the homepage, scroll until you reach the “Get More Reviews” box.
3. Copy the link provided by the site.
You can share this link via email, social media platforms, or even a QR code placed on promotional materials. When customers click on this link, it will take them directly to your location page on Google Maps and display a pop-up screen where they can write and submit their review. Vizion can help you navigate your Google My Business page and create links that encourage customers to leave reviews of your business.
How Do I Respond to Google Reviews?
To respond to a Google Review on Google My Business, take the following steps:
1. Log into your Google My Business account.
2. Select “Customers” then “Reviews.”
3. Choose the review you want to respond to.
4. Craft your response and hit “Send.”
When you respond to a Google Review, your response will display under the customer’s review on Google Search and Google Maps labelled as “Response from the owner.” Visitors that read your reviews on Google will see both the customer’s review and your response. Vizion can help you with automated templates that streamline this process.
Can I Remove Google Reviews?
You cannot remove Google reviews unless you can prove to Google that a review is fake or violates the company’s review policy. In most cases, Google does not allow you to remove reviews because companies could simply prune negative reviews to maintain unrealistically high review scores that do not accurately represent their products and services.
If you do receive a review that seems inauthentic, spammy, irrelevant, or in violation of Google’s review policy, you can contact Google and request they delete it using the steps below:
1. Log into your Google My Business account.
2. Select your business location, then choose “Reviews” from the menu.
3. Find the review you want to flag, click on the three-dot menu, and select “Flag as inappropriate.”
Another option for removing a Google Review is to contact the person who left the review, ask them to delete it, and give them instructions for doing so. Ultimately, the easiest way to avoid this issue altogether is to respond immediately to any customer concerns and fix them before they leave a negative review. Vizion can help you cultivate more positive reviews, instruct you on how to respond to your reviews, and find opportunities for increasing your review scores.
Do Reviews Help SEO?
Reviews not only help you build confidence among your target audience, but they also directly influence your overall SEO results. Google and other sites use reviews to rank business websites in search result pages and having a high volume of positive recent reviews signals to Google that your site is a credible, authoritative, and trustworthy source of information. This encourages them to rank your site highly on search engine results pages, increasing your brand exposure, generating traffic, and giving you more qualified leads to convert into customers. Reviews are particularly important for local SEO, and Google considers the quantity, quality, diversity, and recency of your reviews when ranking your brand among competitors.
Why Do You Need Online Reviews?
Along with strengthening your reputation, supporting SEO, and attracting new business, reviews are also incredibly valuable for helping you make ongoing improvements to your brand and your offerings. Obtaining feedback through reviews allows you to better understand your customers, what is important to them, and what motivates them to make purchases. With this insight, you can determine what is working most effectively for your brand, identify potential problem areas, and develop informed strategies for refining your products and processes so you can succeed and grow your business into the future.
