✅ Where to showcase your reviews for maximum impact
If you’ve been sleeping on testimonials, this episode will change your marketing game.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Social proof builds instant trust. You can say you’re great all day long, but it means more when your clients say it for you.
2️⃣ Google My Business is a must-have. It’s the first thing people see when they search for your business—so start collecting those 5-star reviews!
3️⃣ Yelp vs. Nextdoor: Know where your audience is. Yelp is great for restaurants & service-based businesses, while Nextdoor works well for local referrals & networking.
4️⃣ Creative ways to get more testimonials:
✔ Offer a freebie in exchange for a review after a workshop
✔ Use one-off coaching calls to generate quick success stories
✔ Run testimonial interviews on Zoom and turn them into content
