The Review Process Using Your Website

Which Review Links? 1.Search your name, each attorney or doctor in your office and your business name – each location – and “review” 2.Google and Bing – see where you already rank 3.Decide which 3-4 sites you want to include on your review page (in addition to Google+) 4.Make sure the review sites are optimized and all information is correct Make a spreadsheet to track which review sites rank well for each location / person. Keep an eye on them!

Information for Your Review Page 1.Office Page or Review Page (Offer) Office Page – Always Public (indexed) Review Page – Can Be Private (no index) or Public 2.Which Review Sites (3-4) – Provide Links Find where you rank well, always include Google+ Local and Yelp 3.Content – Page Title, Headline, Meta Description, Body Copy – keep it simple! 4.Thank You Page and Thank You Content

Office Landing Pages Title: Office Headline: Office for Meta description: Include city, state, firm name, word “directions”, word “review”. Office “blurb”: 2 to three sentences about the office, will show up on the Office Office page copy: 1.2 to 3 sentences about the office (different from blurb above). Include targeted keywords here (without sounding spammy), consider your “perfect client” keywords. 2.Detailed directions. Provide directions from different directions – this is a great way to include local landmarks and roads to help with local search. 3.“Leave feedback for us online!” Include review icons and a brief explanation of each review site… i.e. for Google+ Local “you need a Gmail account to log in”. 4.Can submit a DSS ticket and ask us to add a short “Leave Feedback” form to the sidebar Set each office up on Google MyPlaces Map:
