Make sure that you ask customers for reviews as soon as the service provided is done, including past customers if you haven’t jumped on this earlier. Even just site visitors can leave a comment; any feedback is helpful when it has to do with your business and making the almighty dollar. By utilizing these badges and creating natural links, you will also create an awesome pro-SEO side-affect that will increase your position in search engine results. Also, it doesn’t hurt to add some “color” and well-recognized brands that make your small business look and feel more legit.
