Why Google Reviews Matter for Bar Marketing

Episode notes

Your Google reviews are not just nice to have. They are one of the biggest reasons new guests choose you over the bar down the street. In this episode, I talk about why most bar owners wait for good reviews to happen instead of building a system that makes them happen. We break down when to ask for reviews, how to train your team to ask, why personal invitations work better than QR codes, and how to respond when a bad review shows up. If your regulars love you but your Google profile does not show it, this episode is for you. Good reviews do not happen by accident. You need a system.
