Reviews help your clients’ businesses shine

There was a time when “word-of-mouth” reigned supreme. Now, 91% of people trust reviews—positive and negative—as much as personal recommendations3. Letting a negative review fester can have detrimental effects on a business’s reputation, and drive customers to the competition.

The importance of review monitoring and management

A strong online reputation can go a long way, but it takes time to build. Responding to and requesting new reviews can take your focus away from selling to more customers, so let Vendasta’s marketing strategists do that work on your behalf!

What is reputation management

What is reputation management?

Online reputation management is the act of monitoring, influencing, growing, and managing what’s being said about a business online. Maintaining a positive online reputation is more essential and challenging than ever. This is due to the ever-increasing volume and wide variety of channels where consumers search for information.

Consumers have tipped the balance of power. With more information than ever available at their fingertips, they can find out anything about a business—and fast! This shift to consumer-generated content and the transparency expected by businesses makes it essential to monitor and actively manage their online reputation.

Reputation management is at the heart of a greater digital marketing strategy. Complementary pieces of reputation management include review management, business listings, digital advertising, social media management, and SEO.

Importance of reputation management

People (at least 88% of them5) read reviews before they make a purchase decision. It’s now the first step in the modern customer journey, and without a positive online reputation, people just won’t trust a local business enough to buy from them. However, it takes time to build a positive reputation, which is why taking a proactive approach to reputation management using reputation management software is essential. While it can take years to cultivate a healthy online reputation, it may only take hours or minutes to undo all that work. Did you know that only 13% of consumers would consider purchasing from a business with a 1 or 2-star rating6? When negative reviews or comments happen online, it’s essential to be on top of them using online reputation management software.
