Business Listing Websites

[HCBailly]

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get reviews for my business listed on kudzu and yelp. So far, I haven’t been able to get a single review. Any thoughts on why that might be?

My first thought was that perhaps I’m not doing enough to make my clients want to help my business. However, I have been able to get testimonials from them, when getting them to write it on a sheet of paper for me.

For some reason, I can’t seem to get them from the paper to the computer. They seem sincere in their interest to want to help, but I’m getting nothing.

One person said they had a hard time finding my listing, so I created a postcard with very simple instructions on how to find me and leave a review. However, that made no impact.

Could there be a technical reason why I’m not getting reviews? Do I have to pay these websites for my reviews to show up?

My guess is that my clients forget about me the minute I leave the home, and never get around to it, because they’ve got other things they want to do. I also followup with a phone call and letter, to no avail.

I’m not even asking for new clients from these websites yet, but if I can’t even get a review, no one is going to care. Any thoughts on what else I can do here?

Thanks for the discussion.
