Junk Removal Growth Challenge: Boost Your Business with Google Reviews
For junk removal business owners, the fall and winter months can be slower, which makes this the perfect time to focus on actionable steps that will grow your business. One of the most effective strategies during this period is building your Google reviews.
- In this post, we’ll walk through a simple challenge to help you get more reviews, improve your organic visibility on Google, and ultimately generate more calls for your junk removal business.
Why Focus on Google Reviews?
Google reviews are critical for building trust with potential customers. The more positive reviews your business has, the more likely people are to choose your services. Reviews also impact your search ranking, helping your business appear higher in local searches.
Even a small, consistent effort to collect reviews can have a significant impact over time.
The Challenge: Get One or Two Reviews Per Day
Here’s how the challenge works:
- If you have one job in a day: Aim to get one review from that customer.
- If you have multiple jobs in a day (4–5): Aim to get at least two reviews.
If you don’t have a Google Business Profile yet, your first step is to create one. If your profile is suspended, work to restore it or create a new one.
- Step 1: Get Your Review Link
Before asking for reviews, you need the link from your Google Business Profile. This is what you’ll send to your customers to make it easy for them to leave feedback.
If you need help finding your review link, there are tutorials available online—or you can ask for guidance from experts who can walk you through it.
- Step 2: Ask in Person
The most effective way to get reviews is to ask customers while you’re on site. Here’s a simple process:
- Approach the customer after completing the job.
- Say something like: “We really appreciate doing business with you today. Would you be willing to take 10 seconds to leave us a Google review if you were happy with our service?”
- If they agree, send the review link via text or a review platform while you’re still there.
This method ensures that customers leave the review immediately, rather than forgetting later. It also allows you to help anyone who may have trouble submitting their review.
Build a Routine
The key to success is consistency. Make asking for reviews a standard part of every job, whether it’s you or a team member interacting with the customer. Even just one or two reviews per day adds up over time, resulting in:
Increased visibility on
Google
More social proof for potential customers
Additional calls and inquiries for your services
- Bonus Tip: Recover Lost Reviews
Some businesses have lost or are missing reviews on their Google profile. There’s a process to request a manual review from Google to recover these. If you currently have 30 or more reviews, it’s worth checking for lost reviews—you could recover dozens and improve your profile’s credibility.
