Other features of Google My Business include the ability to add photos, hours, and street address.
Now, you have a Google My Business account, so how do you get new reviews?
The easiest way to get new reviews is to just ask! You could copy and paste a text message to each individual client, but that would be time consuming! Or you could try using our SAAS platform.
Chekkit provides the easiest way to ask your customers for a review. Simple paste their phone number in the dashboard, and voila! Chekkit takes care of the rest!
Another way we help you get new reviews is with a promotion. Customers can text a special keyword to your number and get a coupon sent straight to their phone.

When we loaded Chekkit on to our website we saw a 30% increase in appointment volume just by being reachable by text and not forms or calling. Being able to setup appointment via text instead of waiting to call or waiting till after work has made our appointment setting process more accessible to the modern homeowner.
