2. We make your pages look great

When a consumer clicks to your review site, it should have the same impact as when they walk in the doors of your business. We create that effect by featuring your business’ best photos, writing a captivating description of your products and services, and ensuring that all of your business information is accurate and up-to-date.

3. We respond to every new review

As a local business owner, you know how important word-of-mouth is for getting new customers in the door. The same is true online, which is why your dedicated Community Manager will craft a timely, tailored response to every single review, positive or negative, that comes in for your business.

When a happy customer leaves a great review, we’ll send a genuine message of thanks and invite them back again soon. And, we’re experts at smoothing over less-than-perfect experiences, too.

Remember, these review responses are not only for the benefit of the reviewer. Every consumer that visits your Yelp, Google, or TripAdvisor page is looking to see what kind of customer service they can expect when they pay you a visit. We help you put your best foot forward with every potential customer.

4. We flag any reviews that go against guidelines

We are here to protect your reputation online — we will not let your page be overwhelmed by anything false, misleading, or inflammatory. We make sure that every public review on your page is an honest report about your business by flagging any reviews that go against the guidelines of the review platform.

Facebook, Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor all have slightly different rules and regulations. We’ll keep a watchful eye on each platform to give you peace of mind while taking care of your business.

5. We get you more great reviews

Every review that comes in for your business on a particular platform has an incremental impact on your business’ star rating on that site. We don’t stop at responding to negative reviews and flagging the ones that are unfair to your business. We also take on the responsibility of helping you bolster your reputation and bring in more positive testimonials by cross-promoting your your Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor pages across your social media channels!

For restaurants in particular, an increase of one star can increase revenue by 5%-9%; for hotels, customers are 3.9 times more likely to choose a hotel with a higher rating, even if that hotel is more costly than another option. This goes to show how important it is to have public, positive reviews on your pages.

By inviting your fans and social media followers to leave great reviews, we’re helping you bring in more positive word-of-mouth, boost your star rating, and get more business.
