Publicizing Your Review

You spent a lot of time and effort evaluating your product and writing a review. Make sure that it gets the attention it deserves!

Social Media

GPR publicizes all reviews across Facebook, Twitter, G+, and Pinterest but it’s helpful for you to also publicize your review on social media.

Below are some suggestions for what to say. If you’re on Twitter, I’d like you to use the first one verbatim. On other platforms, modify as necessary. Besides this first one, feel free to use anything else appropriate that you think would be appealing to your fans/followers/viewers.

  1. Thanks to ____ (brand/company – use their social media handle if they have one) for the ____ (product name) I just reviewed for #GPReview! /URL-of-your-review

 Suggestions

  1. List one of the main benefits of the product you reviewed and link back to the review.
  2. Have you tried the _____(product name)? What did you think? URL
  3. What’s your favorite ______(product)? Why? URL
  4. Here’s my favorite ____(product). Read my review to see why – URL….

Note: On Twitter, please use the #GPReview hashtag on all tweets related to your review or the GPR website.

And don’t forget to Like GPR on Facebook, Follow on Twitter, and Circle on Google+!

Your Email List

If you have a list that you regularly communicate with, you may want to let them know about your new review on GPR.

Your Blog or Website

Feel free to refer to your review on GPR and even quote a small section. However, do not post your review on your own website! Duplicate content will hurt us both. (Note: If you know how to use a canonical link (i.e., rel=canonical) then give me a call at 520-428-6959 to discuss some other options.)

Lois de Vries put a nice “blurb” on her website letting readers know about her latest review. You can see her example here. I encourage you to do something similar.
