Скачать или смотреть Why Online Reviews Matter for Local Service Businesses

Who this is for
Service businesses that win on quality and relationships—landscapers, plumbers, electricians, trainers, and any local service provider.

The problem: referrals don’t convert like they used to
Word of mouth isn’t a straight line to revenue anymore.

When someone recommends you, the homeowner usually doesn’t call right away—they Google you to validate the recommendation.

They’re looking for:
Recent photos and activity
Star ratings
Fresh, consistent reviews
Evidence you actively engage with customers

If your online presence looks inactive, prospects get nervous—and your competitors with recent reviews and strong map rankings become the obvious “safe” choice.

What’s really happening
You did the hard work by earning the referral.

Then the prospect searched you, saw a digital “ghost town,” and clicked the competitor who:
Shows up higher in the map pack
Has newer reviews
Appears more credible in AI-driven search results

Your best referrals quietly become your competitor’s best leads.

Why it happens (and it’s not your fault)
You’re busy running the business.

You don’t have time to:
Chase clients for reviews
Follow up at the perfect moment
Write polished, SEO-friendly responses to every review
