Why Are Ratings and Reviews Important?

What are Online Ratings and Reviews?

Ratings and reviews are a powerful way to build your online reputation as a business. They show potential customers that other people like the product or service you offer, which builds trust with customers. If they see that others have given positive feedback, then they will be more likely to purchase from you. This blog post covers the importance of ratings and reviews in detail so that you can start getting them for your business today!

How Do You Get Online Ratings and Reviews?

There are many ways to get online ratings and reviews, but there's one secret ingredient: asking customers for their opinion! Once you decide on what type of rating system works best (star systems work well because it is easy for consumers) find out how happy or dissatisfied they are.

Ask your customers to  rate your product or service on a scale of one to five stars, then ask them for feedback in the form of written comments.

Ask customers to review their experience with you and what they liked or disliked about it - this will provide valuable insight into how to improve future customer interactions.

How Do You Get Customers?

• There are many ways to get reviews from clients so that potential buyers can see past experiences people have had working with you. One thing we recommend is putting an online sign-in sheet at the front desk where customers come in so that they know there’s no obligation if they want to leave positive feedback but also feel comfortable doing so without feeling pressured by staff members. This way even waiting room visitors will be able to give feedback to potential buyers about their experience with you.
  
  
• A great way to get reviews is by sending out a notification email after services have been completed that invites customers and past clients to leave feedback on sites like Yelp, Google Reviews, Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List etc.
  
  
• Once they fill it in and submit the form this will automatically send an email back thanking them for taking time out of their day to help others decide if your business is right for them or not. This also serves as a reminder that you want honest feedback so be sure not to thank them if they didn't actually write anything down! These emails are automated which helps save staff members precious time while still being professional and courteous when asking past clients what they say.
  
  

Next, get your phone out of your pocket and set up those notifications.

Download the Yelp app or Google Reviews to start following your reviews live instead of waiting for them to pop on a screen at random intervals throughout the day. With these apps, you can also reply privately when needed which is ideal if someone left an inaccurate review about an issue that's been resolved with their satisfaction!
