Online Reviews and the Importance of Monitoring and Responding
With the rise of technology within the last decade it is important as a small business owner to keep up with the times and have a good online presence. We at GroFire can help you in developing your business online. Having a presence online will give your customers an opportunity to review your business. Reviews can be good or bad, but it is what you do with them that really matters. We have gathered just some of the reasons why you want to take the time to have your reviews monitored.
Know your Reputation
Reviews of your business can help you in knowing exactly what is working and what you need to do differently. This gives customers a chance to voice their honest opinion about their experience with you. Every time your business is reviewed you will gain a higher rating on common search websites such as Google and Yahoo as well. Encourage your customers to take the time to give your business reviews so you can grow and change to suit all of their needs.
Expect Occasional Bad Reviews
You can’t expect all of your reviews to be positive. It is almost impossible to please everyone that comes into contact with your business. What you can do is take the review and turn it into something positive. You will first want to respond to the review, address the issue and present how you are going to fix the stated problem. Then you can make the changes you see fit when it comes to your business. Responding to every review, good or bad, will show your customers that you care about what you think and you are honest in your business dealings.
Keep an Eye on Competitors
Checking your reviews may give you insight to what you need to look out for in regards to your competitors. See how other business in your field are being rated and read their reviews for reference. It is always a good idea to see what your competitor is offering and how you can give your customers a better experience.
