Let’s get into the key four strategies…
Provide an exceptional service
The first way to increase Google review is to provide an exceptional service. Although this sounds self explanatory, it’s a great strategy for naturally attracting 5-star reviews on a weekly basis. Ensure that the end result you’re providing for your customer meets and even surpasses their expectations. As a result of this, it will help to grow your reviews with minimal effort, as long as you have an easily findable Google Business Profile live where customers can find your business.
Phone / email past customers
The second way to increase Google reviews is to phone and / or email past customers that you have served who you know were happy with your service. A great way to do this is to go back through your database of jobs and identify if the customer left you a review or not. Then, make a list of the emails and names you need to contact. Ideally, phoning them directly is likely to gain a better response. However, if you prefer to email, this can work too.
You can use a draft email just like the below one below (as long as you have a link to your profile to make it easy for customers):

Use QR codes to collect in-person reviews
QR codes can be highly-effective at collecting in-person reviews. This can be particularly useful for businesses that provide a one-off service and provide a desirable end result. For example, garage door companies, roofers, and loft conversion companies. You can get a simple QR code created using Canva software or alternative options that are available on Google. After you’ve provided the service to your customer, kindly ask if they would leave you a review.
They then will follow the key steps:
Ask the customer if they will leave you a review (they will then reach for their phone)
Get your phone out and kindly ask to scan QR code
This will take the customer to your profile where they can give you a 5-star review.
