Online Review Management | Reputation Management
Review sites are online urban city guides which help people find great places
to eat, shop, drink, relax and play. Review sites are 100% user run. When a
person visits a local establishment, they can go onto review sites and write
about their experience with the business and rate it with typically 1-5 stars.
Because the Consumer Review Websites are member run, it is important for companies
to maintain their reviews and reviewers. Not responding to good reviews can hurt
a business and not responding to a bad review can hurt a business more.
Anyone can list a business on a review site. That part is very important to
understand. A consumer can list and review (good or bad) a business. A business
can not have their business removed from the site once it is listed. If a
reviewer puts the company information on the internet, it is there to stay. For
this reason alone, it is absolutely crucial for a company to outsource an online
review management firm to maintain the company's online reputation. Click Here For A Visual Example Of How

Why Outsource Your Online Review Management?
Online review management is overtaking many forms of local
online advertising. Online review management is much more
important than Yellow Page display advertising. There are
several hundred
online review management websites with
millions of viewers each and every month. In fact, one
online review site has 25 million viewers monthly.
Many of the reviews a company receives will be very good.
Sometimes a business will get a flaming review from someone
that is totally unhappy with their experience. It happens. And
it doesn't mean the company is awful. It means the
person had an bad experience, in their opinion. But because this "review" was
put online for the world to see... the world WILL see it.
Business owners work hard to get where they are. To
see a disparaging remark by a customer is not deflating. Add to that
the fact that the review is there to stay can be even
more discouraging to a business owner. "Too close to the fire.".
Simply put, it is "personal" when business owners see bad reviews about their company.
They go through several phases. First numbness, then possible anger, next
comes the worst of all... denial. Which leads to more anger. Most, in fact 95% of these
business owners don't even respond. This is bad business and more harmful than one could imagine.
Those that do respond do so with emotion and it doesn't come across as professional.
a bad review is personal to a business owner.
If a company wants to get an employee to monitor the reviews,
understand there are hundreds of review sites that are
working 24 hours a day. Managing reviews is a full-time job
and they have a snowball effect. Once a business starts
getting reviews, the reviewers will be quicker to review
your company. And what if a bad review goes live
that has your employees name in it? It does happen.
Online review management companies don't take reviewers
personally. Because they aren't personal. They are
professional enough to turn even the harshest critic into
the most adoring customer, for the whole WORLD to see. If
done right, online review management could bring a business more
customers than you've ever experienced.
