Collecting and showcasing testimonials is like adding a cherry on top of your landscaping business sundae! When satisfied customers sing your praises, it’s persuasive, authentic, and free advertising. To collect these precious gems, simply ask! 

After completing a project, ask clients if they would be willing to write a few words about their experience. To make it easier for them, you could send a quick survey or review form that they can fill out.

Here’s a list of 10 ways to get testimonials for your landscaping company:

  1. Request feedback: Reach out to your satisfied clients and ask them if they would be willing to provide a testimonial about their experience with your landscaping services.
  2. Create a feedback form: Develop a simple online form or survey where clients can easily share their feedback and testimonials.
  3. Offer incentives: Encourage clients to leave testimonials by offering a small incentive, such as a discount on future services or a small gift card.
  4. Showcase testimonials on your website: Create a dedicated section on your website to showcase client testimonials, which can help build trust and credibility with potential customers. When your customers see others leave testimonials, it may encourage them to do so as well.
  5. Follow-up emails: Send personalized follow-up emails to clients after completing a landscaping project, politely asking if they would be willing to share their thoughts and experiences.
  6. Social media requests: Utilize your social media platforms to request testimonials from satisfied clients. You can also create engaging posts asking clients to share their experiences.
  7. Video testimonials: Encourage clients to record short video testimonials, as these can be highly impactful and authentic. Offer guidance or questions to help them provide meaningful feedback.
  8. Case studies: Collaborate with clients who have had exceptional experiences with your landscaping services to create detailed case studies that highlight the challenges, solutions, and outcomes of the project.
  9. Referral program: Implement a referral program where clients who refer others to your landscaping company receive incentives. As part of the program, encourage clients to provide testimonials alongside their referrals.
  10. Reviews on third-party platforms: Encourage clients to leave reviews and testimonials on popular review websites or local business directories, such as Google My Business, Yelp, or Angie’s List.

Remember, when soliciting testimonials, always respect clients’ privacy and preferences. Seek their permission before using their testimonials, and ensure compliance with any applicable regulations or guidelines.

 

Showcasing these testimonials can be done in various ways. Add a ‘Testimonials’ or ‘Reviews’ section to your website, share them on social media, or include them in your newsletters. Just remember to always ask permission before sharing publicly, as some clients may prefer to remain private.
