To answer Marty question I heard recently somebody inquired about getting hoodledink to make them a site and SeO it and never heard back from him so I'm imagining hoodledink has hit saturation point and is no longer taking on work

I'm about 6 weeks out for anything new.

Our old hosting company pissed me off toward the end of the year. We purchase an email spam protection and turns out it filtered and blocked the greater majority of our outgoing email too. To fix it they moved us to a new server and new IP address and in the process lost all of our mail so I had no clue what actually sent out and was received and what was not. Lost contacts that were stored too. Huge nightmare as all of our invoices are emailed and 90% of our communication between clients is too. We also paid for a back up service that was junk too as after someone accessed our server and deleted everything nothing could be restored. New host, no problems, and made me change and add some more procedures as a result. Full steam ahead in 2017.

We recently had them redo a site and make a new one for us they did a good job overall.
Their review widget is great we went from about 5 to 23 reviews on google in about two months.

I want that on the new site
:headscratch:

Its just a link....nothing special...or did I miss an actual widget

easy to do

grab an image that says rate us on google like this one

GoogleSidebar.png


and the review link

Code:
https://www.google.com/search?q=chavez+restoration&oq=ch#lrd=0x87bf032f943df139:0x78ec4dbdb1053f55,3,

then combine them as an image link


Code:
<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=chavez+restoration&oq=ch#lrd=0x87bf032f943df139:0x78ec4dbdb1053f55,3,">
<img border="0" alt="Leave a google review" src="http://mikeysboard.com/attachments/googlesidebar-png.69488/">


then add code to a text widget (wordpess) or wherever it is to be displayed,,,,use inline styling or give it a css class to style/align

No it's actually a something that emails them after a job and links to google if they give a five star review and if it's not not five star it comes back to us so we have a chance to fix what ever they are unhappy about

He created a Wordpress plugin similar to how the generator I have does it. Uses the CID of the location so that you can also include service area businesses. Mine only uses the Google Place API but thought about re-doing it to generate the link via CID and LRD if needed.

You could generate an email template that is simply the 3 stars as image on the left as a link that go to a contact form of some sort and 4 or 5 star image takes them to a Google review.
