Online reviews have a direct correlation with how much organic (unpaid!) growth your company sees through referrals. Having more reviews than your competitors is an immediate signal of credibility to potential customers who are searching for your services online. PulseM's goal is to help Southern Industries online presence grow through automatically asking for online reviews from our customers that we visit.
