How To Get More 5 Star Reviews: Discover What Smart Business Owners Do to Get More Customers, Clients, & Patients from the Internet

Fireman Mike is true giver wisdom when it comes to online marketing. I have been following Mike since 2010 and I have to say that everything I have seen Mike put out is stellar, and this book is no different!Online reputation management is a critical part to every business these days. Reviews for your business provide the social proof that customers look for when deciding wether or not they will buy what you are selling. They do this research many times before you even have a chance to know they are looking at you, your company and the products/services that you sell. Don't Leave This Up To Chance!Mike proves why reviews are SO important when he shared some staggering statistics from BriteLocal in Chapter 3. These statistics showed that "...most people look for 6 to 10 positive reviews on the Internet before making a buying decision. 67 percent of people looking for a business read those reviews…if you don't have 6 to 10 five-star reviews, your business is viewed as not trusted online"My favorite parts of the book were chapters 7 & 8 where Mike revealed "Why Some of Your Reviews Are Hiding" and "What To Do With the Negative Ones". These are questions people ask me all the time and I even learned a few tricks I didn't know by reading this book.So grab Mike's book like I did, and discover what other smart business owners are doing to get more customers and reviews from the Internet.Jason P.

As a local marketing agency that focuses on paid lead generation I am always pushing that my small business clients FIRST work on building a 5-star reputation BEFORE buying more advertising (otherwise people find out faster that your business has a bad rep.). Mike's book presents not only the background information every business owner needs to understand about this 'New Reputation Economy." Get it, read it, implement it. My prediction is those businesses that act on this now will reap the rewards in the future while others will wonder why their phone isn't ringing and their advertising is no longer working.Kyle BattisNH Strategic Marketingwww.NHStrategicMarketing.com

A well written book. Simple and straight to the point. A money-saving book. Follow its advice and you'll make a lot of money from your Yelp ad.

Really good and informative information. I recommend this for all businesses that want to increase their income. This helps more than anything else. Like Mike says: you are wasting your money advertising if you are advertising a bad reputation! Everyone business owner should read this.

Has 15 redundant chapters about the "Importance" of obtaining online customer reviews. The author goes so far as to write in one of the later chapters that he knows he's "beating a dead horse", you think? I gave it 2 stars because there's bits of actual knowledge worth knowing about the subject matter sprinkled about the 70+ pages of droning. Might be a decent read for someone that has no idea about online reviews in so that you'll learn why its important, but for most people I think it leaves them wanting more. Last caveat, the author gradually starts pumping his own Company and services for Reputation Management around Chapter 5 and is really pouring it on by Chapter 15. Which I don't have any issue with at all if the author offered more how to insight. Let's see how long it takes this to get buried in 5 star reviews :)
