Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“This is the most caring facility in Augusta. The combination of professional skill, poise and gentle support really encourages me in my part of physical therapy. I feel I [have] made progressive improvement in my physical state and relief of pain because of their attention to the work. I would recommend Helping Hands to anyone seeking high-caliber physical therapy. Also, they have a transportation service for those who need a ride.” – Catriona C.

Not Your Average Physical Therapy Center

We wanted to know what makes Georgia’s number one physical therapy center so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with Operations Director, Shanita Banks.

The first question we had for Shanita was what makes Healing Hands Physical Therapy unique compared to their competition in Georgia. She told us that what sets them apart is their quality customer service and the fact that they offer free transportation for people who can’t drive.

We also asked Shanita about Healing Hands Physical Therapy’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Shanita shared their mission statement with us, which is:

“Healing Hands Physical Therapy provides guaranteed, personalized pain-relief solutions for every stage of life.”

Shanita went on to tell us about the many ways they give back to their community, including doing drives, partnering with a church that has a food pantry, collecting food at their clinics and donating candy to “Trunk-or-Treat,” which is hosted by local churches and provides a safe trick-or-treat option for children in the community.

Building Success by Focusing on the Patient

When we asked Shanita what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Healing Hands Physical Therapy, she attributed it to their commitment to providing quality patient care and to treating patients as individuals instead of numbers, which keeps them coming back. They also use an automated system that asks patients to leave reviews.

Apart from building the kind of online reputation any business would envy, Healing Hands Physical Therapy has spread the word about their service through community involvement and by doing weekly drop-ins with the doctors who refer patients to them. They thank those doctors by giving them flowers and candy.

Every physical therapy center wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Healing Hands Physical Therapy has. Here’s Shanita’s advice for them:

“It boils down to great customer service and giving patients what they need. Their goal is to get clients ‘back in motion,’ and when people get their health back and are able to move again, they are happy and willing to leave reviews…”


Congratulations to the team at Healing Hands Physical Therapy for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Shanita, for taking the time to speak with us!

Building Success by Making a Big Impression

Paola attributes Dance Contempra’s strong online reputation to her commitment to going out of her way to make a big impression:

“I get to know the kids and establish bonds with everyone. I interned with a really nice lady, and she told me that, by the end of the class, I should know every student’s name. I continue that guidance that she gave me. We have been around for 18 years, so now the kids I’ve taught are bringing their kids.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Dance Contempra has gotten their name out there through Google Adwords and word of mouth from their alumni.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Dance Contempra has. Here’s Paola’s expert advice for them:

Linda started her interior design business in 2004. Both Linda’s grandmother and mother were interior designers, and Linda has always loved both people and art. Growing up with generations of interior designers to inspire her, she quickly realized the best way to incorporate both of her passions was through interior design.
We wanted to know was what it is that makes Linda Rickles Interiors stand apart from its competitors. Linda told us about how she brings her unique appreciation for color and style to her clients:

“What I design is very classic with a contemporary twist. I will use my clients’ own furnishings if they fit the balance, scale, proportion, and harmony of the space. I also take the architecture and light into consideration. I am a color specialist, so color is very important. I think those things make me unique.”

When we asked Linda about her overall business mission, she said:

“I take an ordinary space and turn it into an extraordinary home. I want everyone’s home to be comfortable, cozy, and chic, adding beauty to everyone’s life!”

“Most of my business has always been from referrals, but I’m realizing how important it is now to have a strong online presence, and have started doing more with Facebook and Instagram.”

Of course, Linda Rickles Interiors has benefited from their positive online reviews. When we asked Linda her secret to getting those great reviews, she said:

“My clients are my priority. It’s more important for them to be happy then it is for me to be right. There isn’t just one correct solution to an interior design dilemma, so I work with them to find one that they are happy and comfortable with. I currently don’t ask for reviews, so all my reviews are from clients who had a great experience and wanted to leave a review.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Linda Rickles Interiors has managed to. We asked if Linda could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Identify and listen to your clients. Don’t try to push your own agenda on them, whatever the business is. Listen to what they have to say.”

She went on to tell us about the friendly atmosphere their salon offers and the familial vibe the staff feels towards one another:

“We have a very friendly and uplifting atmosphere. We just like people to feel at home here. I had someone tell me that I’ve set the tone for this place, and it’s a wonderful tone. We try to uplift other people here. I have a great staff. We try to have fun! We have a family/sisterly atmosphere, and we even go on a trip each year.”

Lawanda ended our chat with this invitation:
