1. Use the PlaceID Lookup Tool – https://developers.google.com/places/place-id
2. Enter your business name in the “Enter a location” field at the top of the map.
3. Click your business name in the list that appears.

We recommend these below tools to create your shorten link.
– Pretty Links @ https://prettylinks.com/

7. Share this link with Customers to give your business a review. You can’t solicit a Review.
Note:
- Refer to https://support.google.com/business/answer/7035772?hl=en
- Keep in mind that it’s against Google review policies to solicit reviews from customers by offering incentives or setting up review stations at your place of business. Reviews that violate the policy may be removed.
- So you can ASK for a Review but NOT solicit Reviews….
HOWEVER there is a way around this…
Contact Us and we’ll let you in on a strategy to get Reviews by asking for Feedback.
You can incentivize people to give Feedback (in most industries). Which can lead to them leaving a business rating on your Google My Business listing or even Trip Advisor.
If your business gets most of it’s business from customers who live near you then get serious about local SEO. Also as a business owner you must have a Google My Business page – no matter your industry or your customers location to you.
