Strategy
The right strategy for increasing online reviews across platforms
Not all review platforms matter equally for every business. Before launching review campaigns, choose platforms strategically based on your industry, your customer base, and where competitors are already present.
Start with Google. It has the most direct impact on local search ranking and the widest audience. Once you have a strong Google review base, expand to the secondary platform most relevant to your industry.
Running campaigns across multiple platforms at once is possible with Get More Review. Use a multi-destination review page that lets customers choose which platform to review on, or target different platforms with different customer segments.
Step 1: Prioritise Google first
Google reviews appear in search results and Maps. Growing Google first gives the fastest ranking and visibility gains.
Step 2: Add your industry platform
Tripadvisor for hospitality, Yelp for US restaurants, Trustpilot for services, Facebook for community businesses.
Step 3: Run consistent campaigns
A consistent weekly review campaign outperforms a one-off large blast. Recency matters as much as volume to Google.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about increasing online reviews
Create a multi-platform review request campaign that lets customers choose which platform to review on, or direct different customer segments to different platforms. Get More Review lets you set up campaigns for Google, Facebook, Yelp, Trustpilot, and Tripadvisor from one dashboard using WhatsApp, SMS, email, or QR code.
Start with Google since it has the biggest impact on local search ranking. Then focus on the secondary platform most relevant to your industry: Tripadvisor for restaurants and hotels, Yelp for US restaurants, Trustpilot for service businesses, and Facebook for community-facing businesses.
Most customers want to see at least 20 to 30 reviews before feeling confident about a business. In competitive local markets, 50 to 100 reviews places you strongly. More importantly, consistent new reviews every week signals an active, trusted business to both Google and potential customers.
Ask every customer shortly after their visit using a direct link or QR code. Make the process as easy as one tap. Send a polite follow-up if there is no response within 3 days. Use the channel your customer is most likely to read. Get More Review automates all of this.
