How to Build Review Links for Google, Bing, Yelp, and More…

A key way to improve your ranking on virtually any ratings and review site or local search is to capture recent, frequent, and outstanding reviews. Business pages with the most positive and recent reviews rank better on the map pack, a significant referrer of customers to local businesses.

To capture reviews, you have to make it easy for your customers, though! You don’t want to just ask them to find you on a site and place the review. Looking for the review button can be nothing short of frustrating.

So, the easiest way to capture those reviews is to provide the links on your site, in your emails, or even via mobile message. Interestingly, most of the services don’t actually offer a means of providing you the direct link, though! So, we’re going to go through that trouble here:
