Posted on April 27, 2011 by Terri Mason

You’re probably wondering “what the heck is she talking about?”. Well, I’ve learned of a great way to consolidate all your reviews and testimonials in one location that you can promote on your website, blog, email, and more!

No matter what your industry, reviews, recommendations and testimonials can be made and found anywhere: Yelp, Craigslist, LinkedIn, your website, wherever your clients are posting their reviews. It’s a lot to keep track of let alone promote. You may have even found yourself reaching out to clients asking them to re-post a review on a certain website for you.  Not anymore!

If the group is switched to “open” each member will receive notification of the change. However, moving forward, all newly formed groups will automatically be designated “open”.
