FAQ

There are many answers to this question but here are the 2 most important considerations. Now that consumer reviews and the company’s reputation score are being displayed within organic search results, business listings, pay-per-click, and just about every other place, potential customers can easily decide who they want to do business with based on the experience of others. Secondly, comprehensive studies conducted by reputable firms such as Nielsen Media and Bright Local have shown that roughly 70% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Therefore, it should be easy to see that building a 5-star reputation online, and then marketing that reputation, is the most powerful and most trusted type of marketing that any business can do. Customers are looking to do business with the most reputable, trusted company they can find. Now that reviews and ratings are clearly displayed online, that becomes a much easier decision for them to make.

Your company’s reputation is now very transparent. Customer reviews and reputation scores are now being displayed right along with the regular search engine results, listings on business directories such as Yelp and City Search, and even pay-per-click ads. It makes no sense to spend money on expensive PPC campaigns, newspaper ads or search engine optimization when customers will only check out your reviews first before deciding if they want to do business with you. If you don’t have at least 6 to 10 reviews with a 5-star rating, your phone is not going ring. More importantly it could be the difference of your phone not ringing and your competitor’s phone ringing instead.

In the course of developing a 5-star reputation for our clients, we utilize a variety of proven strategies such as SMS, email templates/campaigns, custom-designed postcards, business referral cards, video testimonials, and many others. These tools can be used along with many other online marketing strategies your company may be currently using such as social media, blog posting, online and off-line promotions, and many more. We work with our clients to develop a Reputation Marketing Culture within their organization. We provide the tools and training so that all of their staff members are focused on providing the best possible customer experience, which leads to receiving 5-star reviews that build and maintain a 5-star reputation.

That’s great if you have lots of good testimonials. It sounds like you are focused on providing a first-class customer experience; however, that is only a small piece of the overall picture. First of all, those testimonials need to appear not only on your own website but many other places as well to be most effective. Your office staff cannot post those testimonials and reviews online themselves because all of the review sites have created special algorithms and filters that delete all reviews that are posted from the same computer IP network. Additionally, the reviews themselves need to be created with a specific strategy in mind so that they will convert your prospects into paying customers (instead of boring them with someone’s life story and personal rant). We work with our clients and train them how to get those strategically-written reviews that really convert. We also post those reviews online using our proprietary strategies and systems so that they will remain on the various review sites for all of your prospects to see.

I commend you if you already have a great reputation. You obviously understand the value of honesty and first-class customer service. However, that alone is not enough because you are only one customer away from a bad reputation online. You or any one of your staff could have a bad day; it happens to all of us. That could easily give that first-time customer a bad experience. Their bad review could spread to several different sites, which makes you appear to have a bad reputation. Because most of these review sites display the most recent reviews first, your current customers and potential customers will usually see that bad review before any of your good ones.

Having no reviews is almost as bad as having bad reviews. It all comes down to this. People look at reviews as a gauge for the type of experience they can expect to have when dealing with your company. If you have no reviews, a potential customer has no idea what to expect and will generally not take a chance on having a bad experience. I’m sure you have experienced this many times yourself. I purchase a lot of products from Amazon and I often see some with no reviews and the invitation to “Be the first to review this product”. I always look for that product or something similar offered by another vendor where people have already given good reviews, just so I don’t have any bad experiences.

First of all, you have to provide a great customer experience and first-class service which immediately makes getting 5-star reviews that much easier. We have found that the simpler you make it for customers to post reviews, the more likely you are to get a review, especially if you have older clients or those who are not computer savvy. We have developed many tools and strategies to help our clients get those 5-star reviews but I would say 3 of the most effective ways would be to utilize our custom-designed postcards, specially formatted business referral cards, and custom e-mail templates, which inspire people to not only read but also take action. This is part of our Reputation Marketing Culture strategy, which is part of our overall Reputation Marketing program.

Don’t worry, most companies have no clue when it comes time to Reputation Marketing and that’s why we are here to help. They generally are not aware of the latest trends and strategies nor do they have the time to train and monitor the progress of their staff on that topic. As part of our Reputation Marketing Culture program, we set up an education training center for each of your staff members to log into so that they can learn about and fully understand what Reputation Marketing is. We provide individualized training and testing and send the results to a designated person within your office so you know which of your staff understands the concepts or needs additional training.
