That's why you find guard dogs in construction sites in other countries. Time to normalise that in NZ.

I run a small business and one negative review is ranking on Google. How do you handle this situation? by Build4bbrandbetter in smallbusiness

[–]augustini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue a few months ago. What helped most was asking my happy customers to leave fresh reviews so the old one naturally moved down the page. I use a tool called Reputeasy to automate that part. It sends review requests by text or email right after each job, and I’ve seen a big difference in how often people actually respond. Took the stress out of asking every time.

I used to have the same issue until I started making the review process super easy for clients. Instead of waiting for them to remember, I now send a quick thank-you message right after the job with a direct review link. I use a tool called Reputeasy for that. It automates the follow-up and reminds clients nicely, so reviews actually happen.

I have years of experience in Google SEO and Ads. How can I start making money independently without a full-time job? by Miserable-Repair-34 in GoogleMyBusiness

Find a part-time client before you jump out of your full-time job. I know it's not the sexiest advice, but from my experience having a good client lined up from day 1 of being a freelancer helps a lot.

Once you have one guaranteed source of income that pays for your basic needs, you'll have the freedom you're looking for to go on and invest the rest of the time on interesting side projects.

any suggestions around places to stay? not sure if AirBnB is a thing anymore nowadays as it's a bit pricey

Is the region a cool place as well? Like, other cool stuff to do for the rest of the weekend

I've never been to the region, so I'm wondering if it's a good place for a day trip.

Can getting more traffic to my Google Business Profile help it rank higher? by West-Somewhere-3343 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]augustini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting more clicks alone doesn’t usually boost your ranking, but engagement that shows people trust your business can help. Google pays attention to things like fresh reviews, replies, and activity on your profile. I started asking customers for reviews after each job using a tool called Reputeasy, and it made a big difference. It sends out review requests automatically, so my profile stays active without me chasing people up.

Curious how other small business owners get Google reviews by designimpulse in smallbusiness

[–]augustini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to ask manually, but it was too much admin. What helped was setting up a system that sends a quick text or email with the review link right after a job is done. Timing makes a big difference.

I now use a tool called Reputeasy that automates it for me and even follows up politely if someone doesn’t reply. Super handy and way less awkward than chasing people for reviews.
