Quick Way to Get Higher in Google

May 14, 20263 min read

Hi,

Got a super easy way to rank higher in Google for you. Zero technical knowledge needed.

If you run a business you get reviews. Hopefully they're good. Hopefully you get them somewhat regularly.

Most businesses get reviews and they do one of two things:

  1. They are happy with the review but don't respond to it.
  2. They respond with a polite but generic response like: "Thank you so much for your kind review, we really appreciate it!"

Number 2 is better than number 1. You should respond to reviews — it's a great idea.

But here's the thing.

Google is a big robot. It's crawling your profile all the time to figure out what you do and where you do it.

Everything you can do to help Google make sense of what you do and where you do it? That's a good thing.

So instead of just politely responding, make sure your response has keywords you're trying to rank for.

If you're a tree surgeon in London and you want to get more jobs in West London, instead of a generic thanks, you'd reply:

Thank you so much for the kind review. It was our pleasure to remove your trees in West London. We're doing more and more jobs in West — not just in Chelsea but also Kensington and Ealing. Would love to help you in the future with any of your forestry needs, be it tree removal, crown removal, tree trimming, pruning, and anything else!

That gives the Google bot a full five-course meal instead of throwing it some scraps.

Really helps with SEO results. Try it out today!
