Edwin, that is another great way to use your ratings as a marketing tool. Thanks.

I know one local chiropractor who takes his positive Yelp reviews and posts them on LinkedIn. This “cross breeding” of reviews is key to reach those who are not active on certain social channels, but are active on others. Thanks for the ideas and your views on this vital SMB marketing strategy.

Jonathon, I agree. Online reviews from others “just like me” definitely make a difference.

For example, when I go looking for doctors in my small city the couple that have ratings in the SERPs definitely jump out over the others. Promoting them on the website is another easy win. Testimonials/reviews are effective forms of content that can target those prospects that need social validation before making a decision.
