Reviews help customers make informed decisions before making a purchase and give insight into the quality of the product or service. It\u2019s effectively a win-win-win when reviews showcase customer satisfaction, build trust and credibility, and increase visibility online.<\/p>\n<p>Online reviews can ultimately help shape the way people view a business and its products or services, and have become an essential part of the customer experience\u2014but they&#8217;re not <em>only<\/em> for consumers. If you\u2019re managing a brand, business, product or marketing team, you should invest a significant number of resources to make the most out of your business\u2019s reviews. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you need to care about online reviews<\/h2>\n<p>Online reviews are essential to overall business success because they help build brand trust and reputation. They also contribute to the bottom line: With a better review strategy, you\u2019re looking at better local listing conversions and even sales and revenue. Customers trust online reviews\u2014in some cases, as much as personal recommendations\u2014but not all reviews carry the same weight for your customers and prospects, who need to see <strong>recent<\/strong>, <strong>relevant<\/strong>, and <strong>local<\/strong> reviews.<\/p>\n<p>First, they are looking for recent reviews; in fact, most users disregard online reviews older than three months. They are also looking for relevant reviews, covering different aspects or services of a business. So, it\u2019s not just about the star rating: Most customers value the written review over the overall star rating. Finally, <a href=\"\/services\/search-engine-optimization\/local-seo\/\">they are looking for local information<\/a> and are interested not only in reviews for your brand but for a particular store.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses should care about their online reviews because they offer valuable customer feedback that can be used to improve customer service, product offerings, and overall customer experience. Reading and assessing online reviews can help businesses identify customer trends, understand customer preferences, and gain insight into areas for improvement. Furthermore, actively responding to customer reviews can help to boost customer loyalty and increase customer satisfaction. Finally, reviews can help businesses understand the needs of their customers and make improvements to their offerings. Here are examples from two brands we have the privilege to work with.<\/p>\n<h2>How a restaurant brand used consumer reviews to adjust their offer<\/h2>\n<p>We conducted a detailed analysis of the ratings and reviews received by the various restaurant brands our client manages in order to not only measure performance but to understand what factors impact that performance and, ultimately, to implement positive changes that would improve quality and customer experience down the individual brand and even location level.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25287\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-product-Transparensee.jpg\" alt=\"Computer monitor displaying TransparenSEE reporting dashboard\" width=\"765\" height=\"537\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leveraging <a href=\"\/local-marketing-platforms\/transparensee\/\">TransparenSEE<\/a>, our proprietary local presence management software, our team was able to identify the main underlying trends for the portfolio of brands and for each brand independently. For example, they\u2019ve uncovered a significant drop in the star ratings for one brand and further investigation revealed that a lot of newer reviews were mentioning portion sizes.\u00a0 This allowed the business to pivot and make improvements to their operations. Ratings are now progressively climbing back up.<\/p>\n<section data-role=\"forward-email-subscription-container\" class=\"full-width w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-c7f2b3\">\n    \n    <div class=\"max-w-1400 w-100 form\">\n        <div class=\"text-content-container\">\n            <h2>\n                Stay Forward            <\/h2>\n            <p class=\"subtitle\">\n                Get exclusive insights into digital <br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\">media's top-trending topics delivered<br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\"> directly to your inbox.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div data-role=\"form-group\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n                <form data-forward-email-form class='custom-hubspot-form' id='hubspot_form_69f4d38579878'>\n    <div class='d-flex input'>\n        <input type='email' class='form-control me-2 input' placeholder='Email address' aria-label='Email' name='email' required>\n        <button type='submit' class='btn_primary-filled_white'>Submit\n<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class='hubspot-status'><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<script>\njQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n    var form = $('#hubspot_form_69f4d38579878');\n    form.on('submit', function(event) {\n        event.preventDefault();\n\n        \/\/ Get email input value\n        var emailInput = form.find('input[name=\"email\"]');\n        var email = emailInput.val().trim();\n\n        \/\/ Required HubSpot fields\n        var portalId = '5408011';\n        var formId = '0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830';\n\n        \/\/ Prepare the data payload\n        var data = {\n            fields: [\n                {\n                    name: 'email',\n                    value: email\n                }\n            ],\n            context: {\n                pageUri: window.location.href,\n                pageName: document.title\n            },\n            submittedAt: new Date().getTime()\n        };\n\n        \/\/ Get the status element for this form\n        var statusElement = form.siblings('.forward-email-status-container');\n\n        \/\/ Send the data to HubSpot\n        fetch('https:\/\/api.hsforms.com\/submissions\/v3\/integration\/submit\/5408011\/0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830', {\n            method: 'POST',\n            headers: {\n                'Content-Type': 'application\/json'\n            },\n            body: JSON.stringify(data)\n        })\n        .then(response => {\n            if (response.ok) {\n                if(statusElement) {\n                    statusElement.text('Thanks for Subscribing!');\n                    statusElement.css('color', 'green');\n                }\n\n                var userInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userInfo'));\n                if (userInfo) {\n                    userInfo.event = 'Form_submit';\n                    userInfo.email = email;\n                    userInfo.form_name = 'Newsletter';\n                    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n                    window.dataLayer.push(userInfo);\n                }\n\n                emailInput.val(''); \/\/ Clear the email field\n                window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('newsletter-submit'));\n            } else {\n                return response.json().then(error => {\n                    if(statusElement) {\n                        statusElement.text('Error: ' + error.message);\n                        statusElement.css({\n                            'color': 'red',\n                            'padding-top': '10px'\n                        });\n                    }\n                });\n            }\n        })\n        .catch(error => {\n            console.error('Error:', error);\n            statusElement.text(\"There was an error submitting the form.\");\n            statusElement.css({\n                'color': 'red',\n                'padding-top': '10px'\n            });\n        });\n    });\n\n    window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {\n        const isFormCallback = event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback';\n        const isFormSubmitted = event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmitted';\n        const iscurrentForm = !!event?.data?.id ?

Of course, this allowed us to identify interesting opportunities for process optimization, particularly in terms of how to get the desired number of reviews.<\/p>\n<p>It was observed that reviews were only requested once, typically immediately after a product purchase. This is not an invalid practice as such, especially for fast-moving consumer products, but it is different for products that require more time to master. We therefore tested different review request timing scenarios to optimize the response rate. We also noticed that focusing on certain aspects of the product generated more responses; these are the elements they now put forward in their requests. Of course, we always ensure to request reviews in a neutral manner and let the consumer answer honestly rather than try to elicit positive reviews artificially.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch out for dark side of online reviews<\/h2>\n<p>Most leaders know by now that volume of reviews is important (if you haven\u2019t read it yet, we\u2019ve written a great blog on <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-generate-google-reviews-and-boost-your-reputation-with-qr-codes\/\">how to acquire more reviews<\/a>). But you should nevertheless exercise caution when working with online reviews.<\/p>\n<p>We are not immune to a <a href=\"\/blog\/google-calls-time-on-the-gbp-app-and-fights-back-against-a-new-review-scam\/\">wave of false reviews left by malicious fake users<\/a>, as we saw last year in the restaurant industry. You may think the first thing to do would be to respond to a negative review by offering a resolution or something for free. But beware: Some scammers are leaving 1-star reviews for restaurants (and other businesses) then demanding gift cards in order to edit or remove said reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Google is backing owners by working around the clock to remove malicious reviews and protect the business profiles affected. Google\u2019s policy clearly states that reviews must be based on real experiences. In this case, it\u2019s better to work with Google to report the review rather than provide compensation.<\/p>\n<p>In short, be sure to make the most of the information your customers generously share about their experiences with your brand, while keeping an eye out for potential outbreaks of reviews, positive or negative. Building brand reputation is about building brand trust, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in this topic and want to discuss it further?
