Google Reviews Update

In the last 60 days, we have seen a 142% increase in Google reviews.

Earlier this year, we set a goal to reach 100 reviews on Google. With only 48 reviews at the time, it seemed like a big challenge, but our team worked tirelessly to send emails through One Click and request reviews from clients.

In less than 2 months, we reached our goal thanks to the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of everyone across all departments.

Next goal: 200 reviews by the end of the year!

“BlocBuilder was so much fun, this was my first year going and it was awesome to hear all of the new and upcoming updates to the AgencyBloc platform. It was great to get to connect with other agents regarding automation. Whenever it came to automation and innovation talks with agents it always felt like we were a couple steps ahead, so that was great to hear.”

“BlocBuilder is always a great experience because the people at AgencyBloc want to hear what we have to say. Everyone there is so welcoming and genuinely wants to make their customers’ experience better. This year, you can tell they really listened to what people were asking for and showcased a few useful new features. I am even more excited to see where they will go!”
