To put it is perspective, ninety percent of consumers rely on online reviews before they visit your business, sixty five percent of these reviews impact purchasing decisions. 

Improve Customer Service

Reputation management helps your customers trust your brand, seeing you as credible. When your customers are happy, it changes the public perception surrounding your brand. One happy customer can bring in as many as nine referrals!

To put it in perspective, eighty six percent of customers will pay more if they receive better customer service. 

Give Revenue a Boost

Reputation management has a major impact on your revenue steam. When potential customers find negative articles about a business on Google, you risk losing up to twenty percent of business. If you have two negative articles on the first page of results, you can lose up to forty four customers.

How to Influence and Manage Negative Reviews and/or Content

Basically, you need to constantly monitor and track any brand mentions on the internet. When a customer leaves a bad review, chances are they are not going to tag you. When you are aware of the negative reviews or content, you have the opportunity to respond, turning the negative into a positive.

If you have a high volume of negative reviews, then there isn't much you can do, except focusing on what you can control. You can control positive reviews and content. Encourage happy customers to share their experiences with their friends on review pages and social media networks. 

It's important to ensure there is no negativity surrounding your brand on the first page of search results. If you cannot remove the negativity, then you should focus on creating positive content that will push the negative content onto the second or third page, where only six percent of users go. Remember. Over ninety percent of internet users only search the first page of Google. With positive, highly relevant, high quality, and valuable content, you can push the negative content to the second page, eliminating it from sight.
