How to Get Reviews/Testimonials From Your Clients


Did you know that 90% of consumers read online reviews before they make a purchase? Online reviews have become the most trusted resource for buyers around the globe. If your business doesn’t have any testimonials or reviews, get started on them now!

The process for getting reviews should alert you to follow up with a customer who recently made a purchase. It’s nice to follow up with an email, text message or a phone call.  People respond to different types of touch points. When you call, keep it brief and set the tone at the beginning. Let them know you are calling to get some feedback on their recent purchase/experience, and you have 3 questions you would like to ask them.

Create a questionnaire with 3-5 easy questions that they can answer regarding your product or service. For example, Can you describe your experience with our staff? or Did you find the online transaction simple?

Make it easy for them to leave a review by sending them links to your Google business listing, Facebook business page, and/or website testimonial form.
Have you ever noticed the GOLD STARS in Google Search Results? Those stars come from online reviews. Your customers know what they are, and GOLD STARS can greatly influence their purchasing decision.  Get the edge on your competitors and get Google Reviews.

Lastly, you know how everyone wants to eat at a restaurant that has a line out the door and are not interested in the restaurant that has the empty tables? Same is true for business. Online reviews and testimonials validate the services/products you provide and communicates clearly how your business has helped others. Reputation is everything!

As always, if your website is icky, call Rikki!

New Responsive Design, Website Management, SEO Opportunities!



Webgirl Technology is proud to announce a huge number of recent improvements that will improve the functionality, look and usability of your Web presence. Take advantage of these advances in technology to effectively engage the growing number of potential customers using mobile devices, and to streamline your ecommerce capabilities so it’s easier than ever for consumers to buy from you online.

Responsive Websites
Responsive Websites are scalable sites that automatically adjust their usability and width no matter whether a visitor is using a PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

The result is that there is no longer a need to create separate sites for PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. A single site can be created, enhanced and updated. Concerns about keeping PC and mobile websites updated and looking consistent are eliminated. Instead, you can spend your time focusing on your business.

Search engine optimization concerns related to maintaining multiple websites for PCs and mobile devices are eliminated. It’s just one more way we’ll help your business rank high on search results from websites like Google.

Recent Platform Enhancements – Better Than Ever
  • New system enhancements include Google Fonts capability. Google Fonts are free, boast hundreds of choices, are very Web-friendly, and are easy to use. But perhaps most importantly, you can use Google fonts to make your business website look totally unique.
  • Many great-looking, new responsive website designs are now available. Some are free, and others are available at a reasonable cost. Take advantage of this opportunity to launch a brand new business website or redesign your existing site with a fresh look.
  • The new Slick HTML5 slideshow allows you to show images of your business or products to potential customers in ways that you never imagined possible.
  • The new site area override feature allows you to customize each page of your website in any way you desire. Your existing and potential customers will be impressed.
  • Do you use Chrome or Safari at your business? Our new system supports these popular browsers, in addition to Internet Explorer and Firefox. Most importantly, you can edit your website on any device.
Google AdWords Campaign Management
Internet marketing is taken to the next level by the knowledge and years of experience of our specialists.

Search engine giant Google offers its paid AdWords service to businesses who wish to enhance their Internet marketing efforts. Our SEO specialists guide clients through the AdWords process, taking care of subjects like account creation, campaigns, budgets, networks, mobile device targeting, geographical targeting and much much more.
We provide the client with monthly report detailing results. And each month we handle adjustments in strategy to make sure Google AdWords investments consistently bring results.

Content Development
No content? No problem.

A member of our content development staff will contact you at your convenience. We’ll talk to you over the phone or via email.

We’ll ask you to send any brochures, advertisements, or other marketing material. Don’t worry if it’s outdated. We’ll update everything so that it’s effective today and into the future.

We will present you with a draft of the content we have developed, then ask you if you have any comments, questions, additions, or deletions. Our goal is an end-product content collection that makes your business look good. Only when you approve, will we publish anything on the Internet.
And we do it all at a reasonable cost.

Social Media
Is your competition interacting with consumers over Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking services? You can too.

Our solution helps you build a long list of Facebook “likes” and Twitter “followers.”

There are billions of people around the world using social media sites, and there’s no reason that you can’t use this valuable communication channel to increase your sales, revenue, or foot traffic. We’ll eliminate all of the mystery by doing it for you!

Stop waiting for customers to come to you, and take advantage of this service to reach out and engage them first.

Online Reputation Management
Consumer review websites like Yelp, TripAdvisor and many more are increasingly being used by potential customers who are trying to decide if a product or service is right for their time and money.
A business has two choices. It can either hope for good luck and the absence of negative reviews, or it can take advantage of the online reputation management services offered by Webgirl Technology.
Our online reputation management services include a monthly scan of the online world for negative reviews, and clear reporting of activity on consumer review sites that could affect revenue, profits and foot traffic.

Once the situation is assessed, our reputation management specialists can initiate suppression campaigns, launch targeted SEO campaigns, and take advantage of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to enhance the reputation of a business.

Active response to negative reviews, and other cutting-edge online reputation management best practice procedures can help facilitate positive reviews about your business in the future. The more content we can get out there that you manage can help to work for you, rather than against you, like many of the services are doing currently.

Local or Regional Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization, commonly referred to as SEO, ensures your business ranks high on search engines like Google and Yahoo when a consumer is looking for a specific product or service.
SEO is a complex, always-changing science. But the specialists at Webgirl Technology have been providing effective SEO services to clients from the earliest days of the practice.

We’ll call you to discuss your desired goals related to your website, the geographic areas you wish to reach, and the demographics of your desired customer. Our specialists take it from there. We conduct SEO tasks related to site keywords, page titles, headings, page descriptions, and many more ways to make you stand out from the crowd.

What Else ?
You’ll be able to create and administer your own custom Internet marketing campaigns targeting the specific groups of recipients that you choose. The User Interface has been enhanced with time and click-saving features to make all of your editing needs easier and faster.

Blogging continues to take off, and our solution allows the user to tap into the power of WordPress, a leading tool for blogging and customer interaction.

Managed Monthly Membership
Have you ever had a brilliant idea for your site but just couldn’t figure out how to get it online? Ever get frustrated with technology? Lack the spare time to update your Web presence regularly?
No worries, we have a great new option for you. Our new Managed Monthly Membership option allows you to dictate a list of changes each month to one of our agents and they will customize your site for you.

That’s right, no longer do you have to figure it out or do it on your own. We’ll take that burden off of your shoulders, so you can focus on your business. Contact us today to find out how you can upgrade to this great new time-saving service!

Remember, if your website is icky, call Rikki!

Why Does Your Business Need A Responsive Website Design?




Why Does Your Business Need A Responsive Website Design?

It’s 2015 and your website is the best and most effective way to attract new customers and engage existing customers. That’s why a responsive website is so important. A responsive website means your site loads fast and looks great on every device: desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone. This means you no longer need to create separate sites for these devices. A single site can be created, enhanced, and updated.  Plus, Google and other major search engines search and rank websites based on technology. If you aren’t using the recent technology, you aren’t ranking.
 
Here’s what you need to know:

User’s Opinions About Mobile Websites:
·         40% abandon a site if it takes too long to load
·         67% are more likely to purchase from mobile-friendly sites
·         74% are likely to revisit mobile-friendly sites
·         52% are less likely to engage with companies if they have a bad mobile site experience

Here’s a sample responsive website: www.e40demo.com
