For small businesses, online reputation has become a major factor determining success. A few years ago, no reputation and no reviews was a viable option, but that's no longer the case. Many online customers expect to be able to read reviews from other customers before they decide to book with you.
In fact, 81% of customers read online reviews about a product or service before buying. Studies have shown that building a positive online reputation can help businesses convert about 3 times as many prospects into customers.
A positive reputation = increased revenue
How Hometown Helps Build Your Reputation
Hometown is committed to helping our dumpster partners grow their online reputation.
We automatically collect reviews for every booking made through Hometown Dumpster Rental. After the dumpster is picked up, we reach out to the customer via SMS and email, following up a couple times to encourage them to leave a review.
The results? In our first month alone, we collected hundreds of reviews for our dumpster partners, with over 90% being 5-star reviews.
Having more reviews strengthens your company’s online reputation, builds trust with potential customers, and increases the likelihood they’ll choose your business for their dumpster rental needs.
We’re making it easier than ever for you to stand out and win more jobs.
