Module 10 — Marketing Engine: GBP + Reviews + Voice of Customer (Lesson)
What customers actually say (and why it matters)
Your best marketing is the customer’s words.

Review ask timing
We typically ask right at the end of the walkaround.
The simplest version:
“If you use Google, we would really appreciate a Google review.”
Some customers don’t use Google — that’s fine. If they’re a Facebook person, take the win there.
- ask 24–72 hours after completion (follow-up if needed)
Use:
Review responses
Warm. Specific. Short.
We don’t run on “the customer is always right.” But we do run on math.
Ask yourself: is a negative Google review really worth refusing a small fix that takes five minutes — even if it wasn’t in the original scope?
Authority Lens: Reviews aren’t just conversion. They’re a prominence/trust signal. If two companies are equally close and relevant, trust often becomes the tie-breaker.
Mention:
- the service
- one detail
- gratitude
Don’t do this
- don’t argue in public
