The #1 Reason for Bad Google Reviews

Do you know what the leading cause of bad reviews is? No, it's not pricing, and no, it's not bad quality. It's communication.

So, always answer your phone, return every single call and message, and hire somebody to do this if you can't do it yourself. If you're running late, call a customer before they have to call you.
