You read online reviews and look at popular review sites to get an idea of what your experience will be like with the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Why would you expect your customers to act differently? Just like you rely on online reviews to make business decisions, your consumers trust online reviews about your business, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>As a small business, you must make around-the-clock efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/how-to-get-more-online-reviews-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generate as many positive reviews<\/a> as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this comes with a caveat. Not everyone in the world is going to love your business and leave you positive online reviews, especially without you asking for them. It has become more apparent in recent years that individuals tend to only leave their thoughts online after a bad experience. It&#8217;s much more common for unhappy customers to leave negative reviews instead of positive ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is rare that you see a customer post an online review saying something like, \u201cThe staff was pleasant and helped me with everything I needed.\u201d Instead, businesses tend to get bombarded with an influx of disgruntled testimonials and negative reviews, regardless of how accurate that feedback is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When this happens, the best thing you can do is work to amend the situation. To the best of your ability, take responsibility and address the points made by the customer in their online review. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last thing you want is to get into a heated debate with customers over online reviews. Always remember that your future customers will probably see your online reviews and act on the information they receive. Handling your business&#8217; online reviews unprofessionally can cause you to lose business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Top ORM Online Review Statistics<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes 40+ positive reviews to \u201ccancel out\u201d a negative review.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses that respond to at least 25% of their online reviews see a 35% increase in revenue.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70% of potential customers will abandon their cart (or bounce) after seeing 4+ bad reviews.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">93% of potential customers confirm that they purchase from a brand after seeing positive reviews for a product.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses with a star rating between 3.5 and 4.5 have reported the highest ROI on their reputation management expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world of online reviews holds fake reviews, unfair reviews and other forms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/guide-for-removing-unwanted-google-search-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">negative feedback<\/a>. Many customers will know the difference and avoid being influenced by misleading online reviews altogether.
