Do you have a strong online presence?


When we talk about having a strong online presence, most of us think about ratings and reviews but it is not as simple as it seems. Having good reviews and rating matter but having good quantity and quality of reviews matter the most. A business that has more than 100 reviews and an overall rating of 4 or 4.5 stars has a better chance of grabbing customers’ attention than a business having a 5-star rating but only 10 reviews.

When it comes to having a strong reputation online, it is important to take into consideration the whole picture rather than just focusing on ratings and reviews; you have to take into account what people are generally saying about your business.

Negative Reviews—Good or Bad?

Your customers are more likely to leave reviews in case of a bad customer experience. To tackle this, proactively send review requests to your customers in order to make your customer service more seamless and smooth by gathering feedback. In case of bad reviews, reply positively and assure your customers that you have taken measures to address the issue flagged by them; make them feel heard. Combine this with actively working on resolving the issue, so that future customers don’t experience the same issue during their customer journey. Reviews positive or negative are always good for your business. Negative reviews make your business seem more genuine and simultaneously use these reviews to identify the pain points of your customers.
