New review managers often secure initial clients through networking, offering free audits, or partnering with local businesses. Key tactics include:

• Sharing case studies and success stories on social media
• Offering no-cost or discounted review audits to demonstrate value
• Building relationships with local marketers or business owners
• Logging every inquiry in ClickUp to ensure timely follow-up
