Set a weekly habit: screenshot or export new five-star reviews (names shortened if needed). Flag any you can feature with a quick thank-you ask for photo use. Build a folder by theme—speed, cleanliness, expertise, value.

Where to deploy reviews

  • Social graphics quoting one sentence—link to full profile.
  • Email “customer of the month” spotlight.
  • GBP responses that reinforce keywords naturally (no stuffing).
