The 'why' that fuels my mission

Throughout my 30+ year business journey to becoming the ‘Google review guy’, I’ve frequently encountered amazing businesses that are great at what they do, but unfortunately aren’t serving enough of their ideal clients. I truly believe that if more people were aware of these enterprises and their unique offerings, they’d want to do business with them. It saddens me to watch owners and managers dedicate countless hours and money to outdated techniques that just don’t work – there’s a better way!

Outside of business, I’m proud of a lot of my achievements – serving as an army artillery Captain, speaking in front of TV audiences and prominent people like Brisbane’s Lord Mayor, marrying my beautiful wife and fathering 4 wonderful kids (including triplets). I want fellow business owners like you to gain control and lead more fulfilling lives, whether that means clocking off at a reasonable hour to be with your family, spending more time on a hobby, or simply paying yourself a reasonable wage to reward your hard work.

That’s why I’m passionate about sharing my blueprints for reputation marketing success with you.

FAQs

The questions everyone’s asking about online reputation marketing and Google reviews.

Reputation marketing leverages online reviews and content to enhance your business’s credibility and visibility. It’s essential for getting discovered online, keeping marketing costs down, and building trust with potential clients.

The social proof theory – the concept that people take cues from other people when choosing how to behave in each situation – is key to the foundations of reputation marketing. Studies suggest around 9 in 10 people read reviews before buying anything, demonstrating the importance of establishing social proof online through a solid basis of reviews. And while it might be reasonable to assume that personal recommendations (word of mouth) still carry more weight than the words of strangers, recent market research conducted by local search agency Brightlocal suggest as much as half of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations from friends and family.

There are many advantages that come when you enhance your business’s online reputation, especially via 5-star reviews on Google – the most important platform for most industries. Here are the top 3:

  1. Greater visibility on Google: Review signals (quantity and quality) account for about 15% of Google’s algorithm for determining which businesses display in local search results. Unlike the other two major factors – relevance and distance – your reviews are the main area you can influence.
  2. Enhanced trust: It’s human nature to look to others’ experiences before placing our trust in an unknown party. Whether it’s deciding on a restaurant to book for a birthday dinner, seeking out a hairdresser in a new neighbourhood, or making a serious decision like hiring a solicitor to represent you, many people look to Google and other reviews during their initial research phase.
  3. Attracting the right clientele: I have a saying – “5-star reviews attract 5-star clients.” When a customer leaves a 5-star review, it reflects their alignment with your business’s values and unique attributes. The prospects who are drawn to you by your reviews are therefore the type of customers who want what you’re offering and are willing to pay for it. Like attracts like.

Absolutely any business – regardless of their industry – can benefit from enhancing their online reputation through Google Reviews. Whether you are in the allied health space, professional services or retail, your clients are researching your business online when they are choosing which business they want to go with.

Some businesses can see results in as little as 4-6 weeks. Those in more competitive markets may take 3-6 months. One of the factors that influence your ranking in Google is the keywords you are being optimised in your Google Business Profile and Google Reviews. The better you rank for your keywords relative to the competition the better you will do in Google Search.

The truth is you need both. The benefit of local SEO is that the individual business can do it without any technical SEO knowledge, whereas backend SEO needs a trained professional. Local SEO results typically occur much faster (in a matter of months) whereas back-end SEO can take 9-12 months to see a result.
