We live in an era where consumers are used to doing a lot of due diligence before making any decisions concerning money. Even for buying a small product such as a blender, consumers read reviews on Amazon-like websites, to make an informative decision. In this situation, maintaining and marketing your online reputation is getting exponentially important for businesses.
Always Ask for a Review
Don’t be shy! Always ask your happy clients to leave an honest review for you. Remember, having a 3 star or 4 start review is better than having no review at all. These reviews prove your track record and experience. And over the years, they will be a huge asset that brings you credibility.
Choose Credible Review Sources
In each industry there are a few review websites that stand out between all others. These are authority websites that people trust more and usually have a very good search engine ranking. Do some research to find out where your competitors stand out. For the Real Estate market, for example, search on Google: “Real Estate Reviews”. You’ll see that Zillow is the number one website. Try to choose one or maximum 2 of these websites as the home for your reviews.
Republish Reviews from Third-party Sources on Your Website
If you are one of the lucky ones that actually has your own business/personal website, try to find a solution for displaying those reviews directly on your website. Copy & paste is probably not a good idea. You need to bring a live feed of the reviews to your website that is connected directly to the source. This is important because it shows the reviews are verified by the source.
