Online Reputation Management
Online reputation management is a concentrated control of the reviews posted about your business. Often overlooked as “not important”, these reviews have influence over others considering using your business. By being proactive and engaging, even negative reviews can impact future customers in a positive way.
Word of mouth is and always has been the most powerful and effective form of advertisement. The search engines are using this as a form of credibility to influence the rankings, or placement of your business in the search results. The search engines look at the number of reviews, not if the reviews are positive or negative. The people that read the reviews determine if they want to do business with you. With 83% of the people saying that online reviews affect their preceptions
about companies and 72% saying that personal recommendations and online reviews are the same, businesses need to pay more attention to their reviews.
