Ideally, the URL should include your company name to make it more trustworthy.<\/li>\n<li>Remind customers that you would like them to leave a review. You can mention to customers how easy it is to leave a review using their computer or mobile device.<\/li>\n<li>Respond to every review you receive, whether it&#8217;s positive or negative. Review responses show authenticity and generate trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep this in mind, too: Customers notice when businesses respond to complaints and praise alike. As much as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">88% of consumers<\/a> would use a business that replies to all reviews, both positive and negative, while only 47% would use a business that doesn\u2019t respond to its reviews.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing: Avoid offering incentives to customers who leave reviews. Honest and unbiased reviews sound more genuine and garner a positive response.<\/p>\n<h2>Using Your GBP for Google Review Management<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/business\/?gmbsrc=us-en-ha-se-z-gmb-s-221-h~z-gbken-u&amp;ppsrc=GMBB0&amp;utm_source=gmb&amp;utm_medium=ha&amp;utm_campaign=us_bkws_exa_en_en_rsa_cell2&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAoNWOBhCwARIsAAiHnEjxyVV6LftfsUsI0AqW1mV17WkAJq07M3Sbq3wZxbH4n3dtu1ujky8aAlb6EALw_wcB\">Google Business Profile (GBP) is a free service<\/a> available to local business owners.

SEO is the practice of using on- and off-page factors to improve visibility in search results, helping customers to find information about you or your business quickly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/local-seo-services\/\">Local SEO<\/a> focuses on optimizing your web presence for local users, such as those who are searching for a Google Maps listing or local company listings.<\/p>\n<p>As shown in the section above, your NAP (name, address, phone number) is the foundation of visibility in local search results and the core of local citations on Google as well as on third-party business directories.<\/p>\n<p>Google reviews are part of local SEO, too, signaling to Google&#8217;s search algorithm that your company is a trustworthy resource in your community. Every Google review is another chance to improve your rankings in online search.<\/p>\n<p>A Google listing that includes more reviews can stand out in local searches, especially in Google Maps, driving more customers to your door. That&#8217;s why Google review management is so integral to your business success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can take control of your online reputation and Google review management strategy today, whether you\u2019re working on your personal reputation or your professional digital presence.

You&#8217;ll win more customers.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17657\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/autocomplete10424-3.jpeg\" alt=\"A person holds a smartphone displaying a shopping app while sitting at a table with a laptop.

There are lots of ways!<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a business that has 500 reviews, most of which are favorable. The number of reviews the business has makes a bigger impact than if it were to have just a handful of positive reviews.<\/p>\n<p>How do you get more reviews, though?<\/p>\n<p>By sending review requests to customers and making it easy for them to rate your business online, you&#8217;ll appeal to potential customers who are deciding whether or not to trust your company.<\/p>\n<p>Reviews <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2749863\/CONTENT\/Content%20Marketing\/The%20Value%20of%20a%20Trustworthy%20Brand%20Reputation%20-%20July%202019\/The_Value_of_a_Trustworthy_Brand_Rep_US.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">matter more to customers<\/a> than pricing and discounts, and customers will pay more for the same item from a company with good reviews versus one with no reviews.<\/p>\n<h4>More Ways to Manage Reviews and Win Customers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Read your reviews frequently. You cannot manage your online reputation without knowing what customers think about you.<\/li>\n<li>Respond to every review whether it&#8217;s positive or negative. It&#8217;s not always fun dealing with disgruntled customers. However, you may just win them over and turn them into a repeat customer.<\/li>\n<li>Take the feedback to heart and correct any issues with your customer service team or your products or services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Your customers will become brand advocates.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16816\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/smengage_AdobeStock_527031393.jpeg\" alt=\"A person wearing a dark shirt is using a smartphone at a wooden desk, focusing on reputation management for lawyers.

Hearing great things about your company often goes over better on social media and through word of mouth than regular marketing channels.<\/p>\n<p>Consider these stats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"p1\">Google is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most-used website for reviews<\/a>, followed by Facebook, Yelp and Tripadvisor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">36% of consumers use two review sites when researching local businesses, and 41% use at least three sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using an online reputation management system can make it easier to access and manage your Google reviews. Companies like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/our-team\/\">NetReputation<\/a>\u00a0offer a number of services to put your business on track when it comes to happy customers and great reviews.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Your business will increase organic growth.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17982\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Green-online-presence-management_1127.jpeg\" alt=\"A smartphone with a blank screen sits against an aqua background, symbolizing online presence management.

Therefore, it\u2019s crucial to encourage real customers delighted with your products and services to express that by leaving an online review.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We live in a trust economy.<\/strong> This means that whether people buy something from you off of Amazon or land on your page through a search, they read your reviews first. That&#8217;s why the ability to manage Google reviews effectively is one of the most important aspects of managing your online reputation.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the online world, reviews represent word of mouth. When you have a happy customer, others will hear about it. At the same time, customers who have a negative experience with your brand will also let the world know.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Manage Negative Google Reviews<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-17436\" src=\"http:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AdobeStock_903072713-1024x574.jpeg\" alt=\"A matrix of black cubes with glowing red edges, each displaying a generic white user icon.

After all, negative reviews can drag down your star rating and deter customers from contacting your company.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some steps you can take to manage negative Google reviews so they don&#8217;t damage your business&#8217; reputation.<\/p>\n<h3>Always Respond ASAP<\/h3>\n<p>No matter whether you have a positive or negative review, respond right away. Someone who isn&#8217;t satisfied with your product can quickly spread the word and hurt your business. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to respond as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Keep this in mind, too: Most consumers expect a response to their review within 2 to 3 days and no longer than a week.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact the Reviewer<\/h3>\n<p>Contact the person who left the bad review. If you can negotiate a solution, the user can change their response and leave you a positive review. This is a great way to prevent one bad experience from tanking your business.<\/p>\n<h3>Take Responsibility<\/h3>\n<p>Admit your mistakes. Even if the customer isn&#8217;t telling the whole story, it&#8217;s important to right any wrongs and to appear proactive in your responses.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid making excuses at all costs. If the customer\u2019s feedback represents a legitimate grievance, do your best to change their mind and provide a workable resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Often, a customer will change their rating when you respond to them positively.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Take It Personally<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, a bad review isn&#8217;t about your company or your product. The customer may have just had a bad day. Unfortunately, they can hurt you just as much as someone with a legitimate grievance. Therefore, respond diplomatically to these types of reviews.<\/p>\n<h3>Flag Fraudulent Reviews<\/h3>\n<p>Flagging fraudulent reviews can help manage nasty comments that don&#8217;t accurately reflect the level of service provided.<\/p>\n<p>What can you do if someone leaves a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/can-leaving-a-bad-review-get-you-sued\/\">bad review<\/a> without using your products or services? There are three ways to handle this situation with tact:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apologize for the user\u2019s dissatisfaction and state publicly that you can&#8217;t find them in your records.<\/li>\n<li>Provide contact information to help resolve their complaint.<\/li>\n<li>Report fraudulent reviews to Google.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ignoring a bad review or responding negatively does your business and brand no good. Therefore, think carefully before you respond to disgruntled users and fraudulent reviews.<\/p>\n<h4>Is It Easy to Flag a Fraudulent Review?<\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to who can leave your business a Google review, there are few controls to protect business owners. When someone wants to start trouble, he or she can easily write a negative review based on false or defamatory information.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the GBP platform allows company owners to flag these false reviews for removal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It may seem overwhelming when you first begin to optimize your online reputation management.
