What is Reputation Marketing & How Can I Get a 5 Star Online Reputation?

Would you buy a product or service if they had bad reviews? Probably not. You don’t want to receive the same experience as they had. You want a great experience, so you are going to look for a business with a lot of consistent positive reviews. With everyone going online for recommendations, reputation is everything. Creating a 5 Star Online Reputation can be the difference between your phone ringing and not.

4. Create a Reputation Marketing Culture

Develop Your 5 Star ReputationThere are a number of ways to develop your 5 Star Reputation. We have found that one of the best ways is with professionally designed review postcards. We design these for our clients, who send them out to their customers and the customers love to give 5 star reviews. We also put together business or appointment reminder cards to give to customers and show them where they can leave reviews. Another strategy is using specially designed email templates that will motivate your customers to not only read but to take action.

Our biggest insider strategy we use is to create a private review page for our customers. This allows us and our customers to know about reviews before they are posted online and the damage is done. All of your marketing materials funnel your customers to our private review page, where we receive them and post only the good ones online. Any reviews that are not good get sent to you in a private email making sure you can address them before they get

posted online!

Why can’t you collect them and post them yourself? The directory sites record IP addresses and will delete reviews if they are posted by the same IP number. Our system collects them and posts them throughout the different directory locations under different IP addresses.

Market Your 5 Star ReputationNow that you have 5 Star Reputation, you need to market it to potential customers and clients. There are a number of strategies we take to market your new 5 Star Reputation. One of the best ways to market reviews is with video reviews. Capturing video reviews from your customers are a really powerful way to increase your trust and covert into leads easily. Adding your 5 Star reviews to your website is a great way to increase your social proof. People surfing the web are now bypassing most of your website and just looking for

Having a 5 Star Reputation can be very powerful when people search for your type of business, such as Dallas Dentists. If your business is in the top listings, potential customers will skip over anyone without a 5 Star Reputation and reviews.

As you can see, the marketing possibilities are really endless when you have a 5 Star Reputation. More people want to buy from you because you have delivered the social proof and authority customers are searching for.

Manage Your 5 Star ReputationManaging your 5 Star Reputation is a continuous process. Many people believe using Google Alerts is good enough to monitor any news about their business, but if people are not using your name in their review on your listing than it will not show up in the alert. Our private review system monitors all the important sites your business is listed on and know every single day who is posting on them. We alert you when reviews are posted so you can follow up with them as soon as possible.

Every two weeks we publish a report for our clients to see how their reputation is increasing online. In your personal report, we show you both the good and bad reviews that have come in. Sharing this report with your staff can help them know how they are doing and where improvements need to come.

Our system also posts reviews based on the locations of your business. Every business location has a separate and individual business listing. We monitor each location and let you know if one location is getting poor reviews.

Having our Private Review system setup for you means that only the 5 Star reviews are being posted online and this helps mitigate the negative effects of bad ones.
