It may not seem like it, but reputation management is the key to building great customer service online.  Whether you receive reviews on GMB (Google My Business), Yelp, or any other directory/ business listing, you must ensure that you respond to these in an appropriate and professional way.

Are Reviews Important for my Reputation Management?

Yes! Reviews are a great way to interact with your customers online. Reviews are also a great way to attract potential customers as well.  In fact, the Entrepreneur even suggests that having a good reputation:
‘Is always important’ and ‘could make or break your business’.

Responding in a Human Way

This is such an essential part of creating a loyal customer base. Whether the review is negative or positive, ensuring that you respond in a human way creates a likeability for your business. This can potentially turn a negative experience into a positive one. Turning those flat, black and white words into colourful, positive ones is fantastic for customer service.
So, some things your business can do to maintain a positive look online is:
  • Address the reviewer by name (or if not by name, in a friendly manner)
  • Make it easy to contact them
  • Try to resolve any issues
  • Respond to both positive and negative reviews
Local brands can work to create a friendly bond with their customers which will help to build loyalty and a sense of belonging too. Auto-respond and engage with customer reviews graphic. Graphic shows two cartoon people standing next to mobile phones typing and leaving comments.

Responding to both Positive and Negative Reviews

By doing this, you can not only reinforce a good experience with customers who have left a positive review but also help to resolve any issues with a negative review.
45% of consumers are more likely to visit a business if it responds to negative reviews.
Negative reviews give you the perfect chance to highlight your brilliant customer service. So don’t miss out! Embrace those negative reviews.
