Most business owners know reviews matter—but very few realize how powerful reviews are for local SEO.

At DIstrategiesM, we help Houston businesses turn reviews into SEO signals that improve visibility, trust, and Google Maps rankings.
Here’s how to do it right:
⭐ 1. Get Reviews on Google—Consistently
Google reviews are the most influential because they:
Impact your map ranking
Build trust before the click
Feed Google more local context
✅ A steady flow of reviews helps you stay competitive and visible.
📍 2. Mention Locations and Services in Replies
When you respond, add useful context:
“Thanks for choosing us for your landscaping in Sugar Land!”
“We appreciate your trust for your 77084 AC repair.”
✅ These phrases help Google associate your profile with local searches.
💬 3. Ask at the Right Time
Send a text or WhatsApp link:
Right after a job
While the client is still excited
With a simple request + direct review link
✅ Convenience = more responses.
