One way to set your child care business apart from the rest when prospective parents are searching the web for a business like yours is to have solid online testimonials.\u00a0 By online testimonials, I don\u2019t mean the type that you manually add to your website via your website\u2019s backend editing system. I am referring to online reviews with your Google Places listing, your Facebook business page, your Yelp business page, etc.\u00a0 These reviews & ratings, or lack thereof, may up in the search results, alongside your business listing.\u00a0 If your business needs more online reviews, here are a few tips for encouraging parents to rate you on these important places on the web.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(1) Make It Easy For Them<\/strong><\/p>\n

Save and be ready to share the direct links to your online reviews with parents.\u00a0 So, instead of sending people to your Facebook business homepage, send them directly to the Reviews section within your Facebook page.\u00a0 Just navigate to the reviews page and save the URL in the address bar of your browser.\u00a0 Include this link when you send the request for parents to review you so they don\u2019t have to try to find where to go, increasing the chances they won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

(2) Get the Timing Right<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a parent shared with you how happy her child was in your summer child care program, don\u2019t wait 6 months later to ask him\/her to share their feedback online.\u00a0 They may not recall the details as well and might not be as willing to submit it if it\u2019s been too long.\u00a0 It would be best to ask the parent within a day or two of them sharing a positive experience with you to make the request.<\/p>\n

(3) Offer an Incentive to Review You Online<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still struggling to get enough parents to submit a review online, consider providing an incentive for those who leave feedback.\u00a0 You could occasionally run a promotion where you offer a discount or coupon for the first five people who leave a review during a specified period of time.\u00a0 Or, you could say that everyone who reviews you during a time period is automatically entered to win a prize.\u00a0 Be creative and get the word out.<\/p>\n
