Love them or hate them, online reviews are unavoidable. If you want to earn customers online, you need to be playing the online reviews game - it is as simple as that.

Now more than ever, your prospective clients are using online reviews from complete strangers as an integral part of their decision-making processes when selecting what company to work with - and it is happening with virtually every single contractor and home service business type.

Whether someone is doing a general search online for a service you offer or if someone was explicitly referred to you and they are looking you up online - chances are one of the first things someone will see during their search are online reviews (or the lack thereof!) about your business.
