Your Digital Footprint Matters: Reviews, Reputation and What People Really See When They Google You
When was the last time you Googled yourself?
In this episode, we’re talking all things digital footprint—what people see when they search for you or your business, and how your online presence could be helping (or hurting) your reputation.
From old reviews and out-of-date socials to no Google presence at all, we cover what to check, how to clean it up, and how to use reviews in a smart and simple way to build trust and grow your brand.
Whether you’re a solo agent, a PM running a portfolio, or part of a big brand, your online rep matters more than ever. So does your Google review strategy.

- How to ask for reviews without sounding pushy
- Smart ways to get tenant reviews and use them as social proof
- What to say when responding to bad reviews
- How to use positive feedback as content on socials (without sounding wanky)
