Take Control By Responding
Service companies have a powerful, yet simple tool to improve their reputation and increase profits — responding to customers reviews.
The virtuous cycle of thoughtful review responses:
- Almost all consumers expect companies to respond to at least some reviews
- Most consumers believe that responding businesses “care about their customers”
- Nearly half of customers have a better opinion of a business that responds to reviews
- Companies that respond to reviews tend to get more positive reviews
- Companies that respond to reviews tend to receive fewer negative reviews
- Companies with more reviews and higher scores have both higher local search ranking and high click-through rates
