Your clients loved you! Now capture their reviews online.
79% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.* That’s an impressive number! Are you taking full advantage of sites like Zillow, LinkedIn and Trulia for online reviews? One way you can is to create an email to send to clients immediately after your transaction requesting they review you. Make sure to include links to the online review sites you prefer.
Here are a few:
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a great place to put reviews because it is a professional
network that is generally thought of as being a very legitimate
resource. First, hover your cursor over your profile photo in the top
right corner of the page, then select ‘Privacy & Settings.’ Click
‘Manage your Recommendations’ in the middle of the screen, then click
‘Ask for Recommendations’ and fill out the form. Now wait for reviews to
roll in! Click here for more detailed instructions.
Zillow
Zillow has a 5-star rating system for each agent along with
testimonials. In order to leave a review, a client will need to have or
sign-up for a Zillow account. You can request reviews by logging into
your Zillow profile and clicking ‘Request a review.’ Zillow will give
you three options of how to email your clients. Click here for more detailed instructions.
Trulia
The great thing about Trulia is
that you can round up your recommendations and put them ALL on Trulia.
This includes everything from handwritten reviews to testimonials on
other websites like Zillow, LinkedIn or your own website. Just login, go
to ‘Recommendations’ and click on the ‘Add’ tab. Type or copy and paste
the recommendation in the field, enter the client’s name and email and
click ‘Request verification.’ Click here for more detailed instructions.
The client will be sent a short email and they will NOT be asked to
sign in or create an account. When they respond, your review will go
live!
