Why This Matters Now:
Google’s 2024 algorithm update doubled down on review signals – businesses with 100+ authentic reviews get 3.7x more local traffic than those with fewer than 50. At Position Punisher Agency, we’ve developed a proprietary REVIEW PUNISHER system that helped a Miami HVAC company collect 83 reviews in 30 days (and steal the #1 spot).
Here’s how to replicate these results:
Tactic 1: The QR Code Ambush (Our #1 Conversion Tool)
Place scannable QR codes on:
Service vehicles (67% scan rate)

Pro Tip: Use a custom short link (YourBiz.reviews) that tracks which locations generate the most reviews
Tactic 2: The 4-Star Hijack (Controversial But Effective)
Identify customers who left 4-star reviews for competitors
