Goals of Japan Burger

Boost its visibility on Google and climb to the top spot.

1

Rank well on Google

Recent Google reviews boost local SEO: when someone searches for "burger Montpellier", Japan Burger is in the top results.

2

Build trust before the order is even placed

Positive comments are that little nudge that makes a customer walk into Japan Burger instead of going somewhere else.

3

Build a solid reputation, day after day

Every review is social proof. The more there are, the more they confirm the quality of the experience at the restaurant.

4

Attract a wider customer base

Positive reviews draw in the curious, passers-by, Uber Eats customers and tourists looking for a quick, well-rated spot.

The solution

To gain visibility and grow its Google reviews, Japan Burger tried Up Review for 2 weeks.

Each flyer carried a QR code leading to a prize game: the customer leaves a Google comment and spins the wheel to win a prize. A win-win!

A simple strategy, but a formidably effective one.
