TBT - If you're running a business that depends on local traffic, you probably know that good reviews can bring more customers through the door.

But did you know that getting reviews - and not necessarily just good ones - can help your business rank better in search results?

It's true. Getting customers to review your company on your Google Places listing, in Yahoo! Local, Bing, CitySearch, Yelp and other review sites helps you in a couple of ways:

- Ninety percent of consumers consult the Web before they head out of the house to make a local purchase. Yes, you read that right - 90 percent, according to digital marketing analysis firm eMarketer Inc. If your business has plenty of reviews for people to read - and most are enthusiastic, or at least positive - you're likely to get some new customers.

- Having reviews of your business in several places - including your website - can improve your search engine optimization (SEO) and help you rank higher in search results. That's because search engines now look at reviews as an indication that a business matters. And if you've got plenty of reviews, you may be able to occupy more than one place on a page of search results.

How To Get Reviews: Make it Easy

Mike Blumenthal says you must make it very easy for people to review your business. One great strategy is to create a special page for reviews on your website - for example, '''http://www.MyLocalBusiness.com/reviews''' - so people can leave their comments easily on your site. You can put the URL for that page on your business card, and hand it out to everybody. You could even print up a special thank you card with the reviews page printed on it, and slip it in with your customers' purchases when you bag them.

Mike also suggests creating a QR code for your reviews page, and having it printed up fairly large, to display in your storefront window. A customer can then scan the QR code with her phone, and maybe even write a review of your business right then and there. Or have the QR code link to your Google Places profile.

Once you've listed your business at the sites mentioned in the section above, you can also print the URLs for those listings on a card, or use QR codes, to make it easy for people to get to your review sites. One caution: You can't directly ask people to review you on Yelp - that can get you banned from the site. Nonetheless, lots of people know and use Yelp, so it's still a good idea to be listed there.

How To Get Good Reviews

It may sound simple, but the best way to get reviews is to deliver a good experience. Treat customers with courtesy and respect, provide a good product or professional-level service, and most of your reviews will be good.

Another easy way: Ask for reviews. When someone tells you how pleased they are with your company, ask them if they'd be willing to put it in writing. Guide them to the location where you'd most like the review to appear. Making it easy for them makes it more likely they'll do it.

Anticipate that things will sometimes go wrong, and give people a way to let you know what's gone wrong, so you can put it right immediately. Display your phone number prominently on every page of your website, so people can call you. If the phone isn't the best option, or you want to give more options, put a big "Contact Us" button on every page, and provide full contact options on the page it links to. It goes without saying that when people contact you with a problem, you must help them quickly and graciously.

Providing quick and easy ways to contact you engenders trust in people who come to your website. If you're willing to be contacted that easily, you must be trustworthy - the exact opposite of those shady sites that provide no contact information at all.

Another big benefit: Helping a dissatisfied or perplexed customer can earn you an enthusiastic fan who's more than willing to give you a good review. And that review is one more building block for growing your online presence.

TBT - Every state in the Union requires that motorists carry minimum levels of auto insurance coverage (or the equivalent in financial responsibility waivers) in order to ensure that its drivers can cover the cost of damages to people or property in the event of an automobile accident.

We have compiled all the car insurance requirements on a state-by-state basis so you can see at a glance what the minimum coverage is―and what other regulations you may need to comply with in your home state.
