Questions and answers on review management
What is the advantage of Google review management for your business?
Businesses secure a decisive competitive advantage with the professional management of Google reviews. Many users notice online reviews and professional handling of them is essential. Negative reviews affect the reputation of your business and can have far-reaching consequences. A business with three or fewer stars in the average rating ensures that its competitors are favoured.
Monitor, respond, evaluate: With professional review management, you show potential new customers that your company constantly responds to customer feedback, can deal with criticism and does not simply let it stand. In addition, you increase the bond with your customers through continuous communication. With optimized review management, your website will achieve better rankings on search engines in the long term. As a result, your website will receive more visitors, and the conversion rate will increase. Lastly, professional review management ensures that potential customers get a positive image of your company.
What do Google reviews do for a company?
Google ratings and reviews are an essential indicator of your customer satisfaction, acting as a reflection of your customers’ experiences with your service or products. For businesses, these reviews serve a dual purpose: they not only strengthen the perception of your service or products but also function as a trust signal for prospective customers, similar to personal recommendations. They provide crucial insights into your business' performance and reveal potential areas of growth. Furthermore, for online visibility, Google reviews play a decisive role in a website's ranking in search results. The more up-to-date Google reviews users give your business, the more likely your service is to rise in local search results on Google Maps or the app.
How do I get more Google reviews?
There are several ways for businesses to get more relevant Google reviews. For example, you can directly ask your customers to review your business and its products or services through email contact, newsletters or links on your homepage or blog asking for a review. See your satisfied customers as partners in review management. Alternatively, use advertising space at your locations to ask for reviews. Most importantly, regularly remind your customers to rate your business or service on Google Maps or social media such as Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn and send feedback.
Our tip: Set a positive example. Respond to reviews regularly. This way, your customers see that you value customer interaction. But don't overdo it. If you ask for reviews too excessively, it could affect the rating. In the worst case, your customers will turn to your competitors next time. So the rule is quality over quantity. While you should aim for more reviews, they should be relevant to your business. Finally, the content of the review matters.
Negative customer feedback: How do I handle bad Google reviews and ratings?
A review for a business or service on Google Maps is quickly submitted. First, open a Google account, select a location in the browser or app, click on the relevant stars and submit: done. Online reviews on a Google Business Profile get a high number of views. Continuous monitoring is, therefore, of great importance.
With proper handling, even a negative review, opinion or star rating on Google can help your company convert users into new customers. This means that negative reviews should not be ignored or deleted lightly, but should be answered constructively. Responding to positive or negative reviews is particularly important for any business. This is how you maintain continuous customer contact and show interested users that you use constructive criticism to improve your company or service. Therefore, open your corporate culture to valuable criticism. But also find the best reaction to subjective user comments and state the most important reasons why you find the review subjective.
Of course, a review can be inappropriate, unjustified or defamatory. In this case, it makes sense to report the negative review. If Google finds a violation of its guidelines for reviews, you can have the entry deleted from your profile, and this is your right. Generally, Google requires users to familiarise themselves with its content guidelines before posting a review.
