Having a good business reputation is imperative to it’s long term success. The internet has added a whole new level of complexity to maintaining a positive reputation. Sites like Yelp, Google My Business (Google Maps) and Ripoff Report have given consumers an opportunity to easily create headaches for your business.

This is why it’s vital to take control of both your personal and business’s online reputation. This can include responding to customer issues, censoring negative complaints and having sites remove negative information. Especially if it’s not true.

This is why it is so important to have a strategy and team in place to handle these types of issues.

Pushing Down Complaints in the Search Engines

The most common form of reputation management is suppressing negative reviews in the search engines. When a negative piece of press or a customer submits a negative review that shows up in the search engines it can be devastating to your bottom line.

When potential customers search online and see negative ratings they are likely to find another company to do business with.

We know that the average searcher will only look through the first few results or at most the first page. Leveraging this knowledge we push the negative ratings to the second page and beyond, making them almost non-existent.

Responding to Customer Complaints

Every business will occasionally have upset customers, it’s part of running a business. When these customers take to social media and review sites it is important to work to resolve the situation. Sometimes customers just want to be heard.

That is why it’s important to monitor these sites and respond to customer comments. By responding directly and appropriately often these situations can be diffused or even resolved.

When you are able to resolve a disgruntled customer’s frustrations sometimes they can turn into huge brand advocates. Certain sites will even allow customers to remove negative reviews.

By responding appropriately you also help any potential new customers see that customer service is important to you. Most consumers understand that you can’t make everyone happy, when they see you work hard to resolve customer issues it begins to establish trust.

Improving Your Business with Bad Reviews

Every business owner dreads the day that a customer complains about their company. It can be easy to feel personally offended when someone talks negative about the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

Instead, we advise using this criticism to improve your business, chances are good that if one person has a critique about your product or service others feel similarly. Instead of feeling insulted you can leverage that feedback to improve your future customer’s experience.

For example if you receive a complaint about the lack of communication you can engineer a strategy to automatically follow up with customers so they don’t feel ignored. By improving the overall customer experience chances are good you will also increase future sales.

This way you are turning that complaint into a method of increasing revenue!

As you find more of these flaws and fix them your business can continue to grow instead of remaining stagnant as a competitor passes you by.
