Why Link to Your Google Reviews?

For lawn care and landscaping companies, online reviews are one of the most powerful trust signals you can provide to potential customers. When someone is looking for a local service provider, they want to see what others have experienced.

By prominently displaying a link to your Google Reviews on your website, you're:

• Building immediate trust with potential customers
• Showing confidence in your service quality
• Making it easy for visitors to verify your reputation
• Increasing conversion rates by reducing hesitation

This Method Creates the Link to Your Google Review List, Not the Link to Leave a Google Review

If you do a Google Search on how to create a Google Review link, you'll get a bunch of results that show you how to create a direct link for your past customers to review you. Since that topic has been covered to the end of the Internet, we won't be covering it here.

However, if you're looking to create a link to your reviews without the "Write Review" popup, you're left searching. This is the link you want to put on your website so visitors can read your reviews, not be prompted to write one.

The Problems with Current Methods of Creating Links to Your Google Reviews

For the few articles that do describe how to create a link to your Google Reviews, there are some problems. Most involve using:

• Hacks and workarounds
• Copying search result URLs from specific browsers
• Complex URL structures that may break

The problem with these approaches is Google changes all the time, which means these methods may not work even a few months from now. Our method doesn't use any hacks, you can do it from any browser, and should work as long as Google's "Write Review" URL works.
