In this quick-hit solo episode, Ben Hartley and Noella Andres break down one of the most overlooked (yet incredibly powerful) tools for photographers: Google Reviews.

Whether you’re a local portrait photographer or a destination wedding pro, your reviews matter—not just for SEO, but for your reputation. This 15-minute “hot fix” episode is packed with actionable advice to help you get more glowing 5-star reviews consistently—without feeling awkward asking.

They cover:

• Why Google reviews should be your top priority over directories like The Knot or Facebook
• The biggest mistake photographers make when asking for reviews (hint: timing is everything)
• How to build reviews into your workflow with ease
• A proven email script that uses reciprocity to actually get results
• How to leverage reviews in your marketing (hello, IG highlights!)

Whether you’re sitting on incredible client experiences that no one’s shouting about yet, or you’re just getting started with your Google Business profile, this episode will give you the motivation (and method) to finally take reviews seriously.
