Quotes:

“It is most effective to get reviews when you find a way to automate it in your operations. We offer a bunch of tools and there are a lot of other ones out there that you can integrate with things like fitDEGREE, so that when different actions happen in your studio it automatically asks for the review.” [Justin, 6:52]

“The most important thing when you do get a three, two or one star review is to just address it nicely, because consumers are going to be more likely to look past it if you respond in a nice and understanding way, and also add a call to action at the end.” [Justin, 8:27]

“For the vast majority of businesses, especially fitness studios, Google business profiles is the place to focus, and that’s because that is where the overwhelming majority of people are searching for fitness studios.” [Justin, 13:23]
