Another week, another Local Search Clinic (can you believe we’ve done six of these already?!) On Wednesday, April 29th, we were joined by Local Visibility System’s Phil Rozek to answer your questions on online reviews.
We all know that reviews are important, but how can you go about nailing your review generation strategy? Where do you need to get reviews? And what happens if you receive a negative one? Phil answered all these questions and more.
In an interesting wrinkle, just a day after this clinic, Local Search Forum received word that backdated reviews are now appearing in Google in some industries! Check out the thread to find out more.
If you missed the real thing, worry not! Simply scroll down to catch the full video recap in all its glory.
