We are all constantly reviewing things in our heads. For small businesses like Sideco, good customer reviews are a mark of success. And on the flip side, negative customer reviews can be a bad sign.

How Sideco’s Customers Find Us

Sideco still receives most of its business through referrals; in fact, repeat customers and referrals are generally 50% of our business. This is perhaps the best possible customer review — someone trusts Sideco so much that they are willing to hire us again or assure their friends, family, and neighbors that they can trust us.

But for that other 50% of our prospective customers who are new to Sideco, we must work hard to gain their trust.

One obvious place they can turn is Google. Google’s five-stars are a familiar ranking system for practically every business in the world. But Google reviews can be bought and faked. Worse, competitors can hire “hitmen” to defame companies through negative reviews.

Sideco thankfully has a “5-star rating” on Google, but that isn’t what we are most proud of. What we are most proud of is our Guild Quality review.
