How to Start and Sell Google Review Cards to Local Businesse

If you’re looking for a simple product that local businesses can understand, use and see value from, Google review cards are an excellent opportunity.

Restaurants, barbers, salons, tradespeople, garages, dentists, cafés and countless other local businesses rely heavily on Google reviews. The challenge is that many happy customers simply leave without writing one.

That creates an opportunity for entrepreneurs and agencies to provide businesses with a simple physical product that makes asking for a review easier.

Why Would a Business Buy a Review Card?

A local business doesn't really care about having another piece of printed card. They care about:

  • Getting more genuine customer reviews
  • Making it easier for satisfied customers to leave feedback
  • Building trust with potential customers
  • Improving their online reputation
  • Making their business look more established
  • Creating a simple system staff can use to request reviews

This is where your sales pitch should focus...

Instead of saying:

“We sell Google review cards, have you heard about them?.”

Try:

“We help local businesses make it easier for happy customers to leave genuine Google reviews....”

The second message sells the problem you solve rather than the product you manufacture.

Choose Your Target Market

You don't need to sell to every business.

Start with industries where customers regularly have a face-to-face interaction with the business.

Good prospects include:

  • Barbers
  • Hair salons
  • Beauty salons
  • Restaurants
  • Cafés
  • Hotels and B&Bs
  • Car garages
  • Detailers
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Builders
  • Cleaners
  • Dog groomers
  • Gyms
  • Personal trainers
  • Photographers
  • Estate agents
  • Dental and healthcare businesses, subject to applicable advertising and review rules

Look for businesses where a positive customer experience is important and where reviews can influence someone choosing between competitors. Use google maps and type the any of the above examples and you will soon find willing customers.
