I'm Remon Verburg. I founded Social Counters to help local businesses get more reviews and followers without the awkward asking. Here I write about what actually works.
I’ll be honest with you. When I first saw a live follower counter in a coffee shop a few years ago, I thought it was gimmicky. A screen showing “12,647 Instagram followers” with the number slowly ticking up? Felt like showing off. Then I scanned the QR code. Followed them. Didn’t even think about it….
We just launched something we’re genuinely excited about: a free Follow Us QR Code Generator. It’s a simple tool that solves a frustrating problem. You want customers to follow you on social media, but most of them won’t – not because they don’t like your business, but because you’re making it too hard. Let’s talk…
Get more Google reviews without awkward conversations. Our free tool creates a professional, printable QR code card that takes customers directly to your review page. Every local business owner knows the frustration: you deliver excellent service, customers leave happy, and then… nothing. No review. No rating. Just silence. Meanwhile, the one customer who had a…
Google reviews can make or break a small local business. You already know this. What you might not know is that most businesses approach reviews completely wrong. They treat it like a one-time campaign instead of an ongoing system. They collect reviews but never use them. They respond to negative ones but ignore the positive….
You’ve worked hard for those five-star reviews. Why hide them on a screen nobody sees? A digital Google Review display puts your best reviews right in front of customers — where they actually influence buying decisions. Instead of hoping people Google you later, you show them the proof while they’re standing in your store. But…
You don’t need a million followers. You need a thousand local ones who actually walk through your door. That’s the difference between Instagram for influencers and Instagram for local businesses. Influencers chase reach. You chase customers. Different game, different rules. Most Instagram advice online is written for people selling courses or building personal brands. It’s…
You don’t need a marketing budget to get more Google reviews. You need a system. The businesses with hundreds of five-star reviews aren’t paying for them. They’re not running expensive campaigns. They’ve just figured out how to consistently ask the right people at the right time. Every method in this guide is completely free. No…
Your clients leave glowing. Skin fresh, nails perfect, lashes on point. They tell you how much they love the results. They say they’ll be back. And then they disappear into the world without leaving a review. Sound familiar? Getting Google reviews for a beauty salon shouldn’t be this hard. Your clients are happy. They trust…
You’re not just selling shoes. You’re selling culture. Sneaker stores operate in one of the most social media-driven retail spaces that exists. Your customers are already on Instagram checking release dates. They’re on TikTok watching unboxing videos. They’re in Discord servers debating which Jordan colorway is the GOAT. The question isn’t whether your customers use…
You spent months perfecting that hazy IPA. The taproom looks incredible — exposed brick, industrial lighting, a tap wall that belongs on Instagram. You host trivia nights, bring in food trucks, release limited batches that sell out in hours. But on a random Tuesday afternoon? Empty seats. Meanwhile, the brewery across town has a line…
