Office Hours: How to Get Google Reviews for Your Wellness Business

Office Hours: How to Get Google Reviews for Your Wellness Business

Author: Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery October 18, 2018 Duration: 14:44
Word-of-mouth is priceless. Every business that wants to grow (or grow fast) needs a solid online marketing strategy and a few well-timed ads, but organic promotion will always be king. When your customers spread the word about your business, they do so to people who already know and trust them. Personal referrals feel more genuine to the listener, which means they’re more likely to lead to action than sterile, geo-targeted Facebook ads. If your clients say glowing things about your services, they’re happily and naturally endorsing your wellness business. If actual, word-of-mouth is priceless, online reviews are platinum. Meaning online approval is slightly less valuable to your business, but not by much! Recent research shows that 97% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses, and 85% trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. And we’re not talking testimonials on your own website, we’re talking about third-party platforms where reviewers can be candid and honest. We’re talking about Google Reviews! Listen in to learn some quick and simple tips for getting started with Google Reviews.

There’s a particular kind of ambition that isn’t just about scaling a business, but about building a life that feels whole and authentic along the way. That’s the space where Soulful MBA Podcast lives. Hosted by Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery, this is a conversation between two friends who are actually doing it-navigating the messy, rewarding reality of creating a company from nothing. They talk through the logistics of remote partnership, the challenges of conscious online engagement, and the personal growth that happens when your work is deeply tied to your values. It feels less like a lecture and more like you’re overhearing a candid, strategic coffee chat between two people who’ve been there. You’ll find practical advice woven into stories of trial and error, all aimed at ambitious women who are done with the hustle-for-hustle’s-sake model. This podcast serves as both a roadmap and a reassurance, proving that a successful business can be built with intention, friendship, and a lot of soul.
