Dec 11, 2020 | 2 minute read Reviews play a critical role in establishing a business’s reputation. Case in point, when a customer searches for a business online, reviews are likely the first thing they come across. Consequently, businesses should make it a priority to encourage their customers to leave reviews. While it may not be possible to dictate what people are saying about you online, you can still play an active role in shaping your reputation.
Why Is Reputation Management Important?
No matter how wonderful your website is, customers trust the words of their peers more. In other words, what you say about yourself is less influential than what others say about you. And that’s not the only reason businesses should monitor their online reviews.
- Modern consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
- People read on average 10 reviews before shopping at a new business,
- Going from a 3 to a 5-star rating delivers 25% more clicks from Google.
- On average, getting a 1star increase on Yelp results in a 9% increase in sales.
- A business stands to lose 22% of sales when a negative article appears on the first page of search results.
