Getting Reviews

I've always known the importance of testimonials and social media reviews, and have been looking for a better way to push my clients to share their experiences. I'm starting with Facebook and Google. Here is the email I send out:

Email Subject Line: Can you help me?

I am looking to improve my business presence online and would love your help. This should only take a couple minutes and hopefully it is easy for you! Please choose one or more of the following options to leave a testimonial of my services:

Facebook lovers: Go to https://www.facebook.com/MortgagesByBliss?sk=reviews and select "Write a Review". You can also LIKE the page to be entered to win prizes.

Google users:  Go to https://plus.google.com/u/0/113534144302112759554/about and click on "write a review".

Old fashioned:  Reply back to this email with your comments.

Thanks so very much for your help and support of my business! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

I've got 20 reviews on Facebook (I've been working on this one for a few months) and two on Google. My goal is to steadily increase this each month with reviews from my closed clients.
