The Google Review Strategy That Landed 61 Deals (and Costs Nothing)

The Google Review Strategy That Landed 61 Deals (and Costs Nothing)

Your clients trust testimonials over ads—and Google is the #1 platform they’re searching. In this episode of Stay Paid, top-producing agents Cody Smith and Stephen Acree share how their team turned Google Reviews into a lead-gen machine, driving 61 closings from inbound search.

This isn’t theory—it’s their real system, from scripts to tech to team incentives.

🔑 Here’s What You’ll Learn:

• The psychology of trust and why reviews influence buyer decisions
• How to guide clients to leave keyword-rich, five-star reviews
• Why timing matters: closing table vs. post-close calls
• The exact script their TC uses to get reviews (plus the link trick: acrereview.com)
• How they use reviews in listing appointments to win more business
• Why one platform focus (Google) beats scattershot efforts

📈 Bonus Insight: They now use their review count as part of their pitch: “We’re the most-reviewed team in Lynchburg”—a powerful social proof tool that closes the trust gap instantly.
