Hi [FIRST NAME],

Hope you’re doing well.

I’m writing to ask if you’d be willing to leave a quick online review for the recent services from us because I’m working on improving our online marketing. It should only take a moment if you click here [and here is where you insert the link to your Google listing.]

It would really help me if you mentioned such terms as: title insurance, closing services, New Jersey, county involved, glitch-free closing.

Thanks, and let me know if you have questions,

[YOUR NAME]

  1. Be ready to give them some sample reviews that they can consider using to include key words.

In our case it would be title insurance, closing, experienced, New Jersey, counties (Monmouth & Ocean, problem solver).

Times to Request a Review

  1. When you solve a problem that the customer REALLY appreciates, explain how you view your job as a problem solver, and would they mind dropping that into a Google review for you so that other people might benefit.

Being Prepared to be Reviewed

  1. Have some quick reviews ready like: “not all ‘agents’ are alike. Quick responsive. Knowledgeable.”

What to say before they write a review: “Reviews are an integral part of my business. I work diligently to make every sale a positive experience. If you saw my reviews, they are intended to help individuals make an informed decision when hiring Counsellors. For me, the end of a transaction isn’t over until I satisfy a customer completely, along with that proof of service.”

If you have any questions about this information or title insurance, please contact Ralph Aponte: 732.914.1400.
