Jack Billings will explain what Google and customers actually look at, and why fresh reviews matter so much.A simple system for getting reviews without feeling awkward. Most happy customers will leave a review, but only if you ask at the right moment and make it easy. Jack will share a straightforward process any business can start using the same day.
