Google Review Management
| A New Review From Every Finished Job | Slate MarketingGoogle review management from Slate Marketing LLC brings local businesses in Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana a steady flow of five-star reviews, asked for after every job.
Review count is the tie-breaker in the Map Pack and the first thing a homeowner reads, and most businesses get reviews only when they remember to ask. Google review management makes the asking automatic: a text after every finished job with a direct link, a polite follow-up if it goes unanswered, and nothing that violates Google's rules, so the reviews stay up. Our review response service then answers each one. The reviews then go to work: shown on the website, turned into social posts, and quoted in ads. Our own count went from zero to fifteen five-star reviews in four months on this system, and it is the same one we install for clients.
A 4.9 is not a problem. One bad review in a hundred shows there are humans in the business, and most people read a calm reply as proof you handle things. Nobody picks the company with one five-star review over the one with a hundred.
Google Review Management: what is included.
Best for: Businesses with more happy customers than reviews.
Within Google's rules
No gating, no incentives, no filtering unhappy customers away from Google, all of which get reviews removed and profiles flagged.
Reviews put to work
A live review widget on the site, new reviews posted to social, and the best ones quoted in ads.
One part of reputation management and review velocity, which explains how the pieces fit together.
Google review management questions.
How many reviews should a contractor have?
More than the competitors above you in the map, and arriving steadily. Recency matters as much as the total; ten reviews this year beat fifty from years ago.
Is it against the rules to ask for reviews?
No. Asking is fine and expected. Offering rewards, asking only happy customers, or writing them yourself is not, and we never do.
Why owners pick Slate over bigger agencies
Seventeen five-star reviews in six months
Slate Marketing signed its first client six months ago and already has 17 five-star Google reviews from the owners we work for. There are agencies twenty years old with fewer. Read every one on our reviews page.
No contract that locks you in
Many agencies want six or twelve months in writing. We work month to month and keep your business by earning it, not by holding you to a signature.
Open pricing, open process
Every starting price is on our pricing page. Before you commit, you see the number, what it covers and exactly how we will do the work. No fine print and no surprise charges.
If you're unhappy, we're unhappy
Our clients come first. Both founders, Jack Moutardier and Daxton Noe, work on every account and answer the phone, so a problem goes straight to the people who can fix it.
A real guarantee, not a ranking promise
Nobody honest can guarantee rankings, and the Map Pack rotates. We guarantee you will be satisfied with the work, or we keep working until you are, and where your review history supports it we put a Map Pack guarantee in writing.
