Ask!

How can you get 5 star

reviews for your firm?

Page 26: Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Google: Building an Office Culture for Client Reviews [Slide Deck]

They send a short

survey to ask clients

about their

experience.

The names of those

who respond with at

least a 4 out of 5 on

the overall

experience are

forwarded to their

Marketing Director.

She personally follows up

with those people to thank

them for their feedback.

While she is on the phone,

she mentions that the firm

is trying to build up their

online presence and asks

the client to help out by

leaving a review on Google.

She then sends them

a guide to leaving

reviews; she’s even

walked some clients

through the process

on the phone.

“I certainly believe it’s the

personal touch of a client’s

original feedback being

appreciated and then the call

from the firm that really

What About Negative Reviews?

Page 33: Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Google: Building an Office Culture for Client Reviews [Slide Deck]

Don’t be surprised when you get a

negative review.

Have the expectation that you won’t

always be 100% satisfied with the

reviews you receive.

Page 34: Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Google: Building an Office Culture for Client Reviews [Slide Deck]

Negative reviews may not be

entirely dependent on your

performance as a firm.

“Science has shown

that weather impacts

our mood, so a nice day

can lead to a nice

review. A rainy day can

mean a miserable one.”

Page 36: Word-of-Mouth in the Age of Google: Building an Office Culture for Client Reviews [Slide Deck]

Also, remember that people in crisis

situations are prone to make snap

judgments.
