You can write – and pay for – advertising that will try to convince prospective customers to give you a call. Or, for free, you can get satisfied customers who are far more believable to write it for you.
Consumer reviews represent, perhaps, the most powerful advertising messages you can develop. The good news is you don’t even have to pay to get them published.

A common misconception among digital marketers is thinking that online user feedback and online reviews are one and the same. And we can’t exactly blame them.

If you’re not actively gathering customer feedback—and acting on this feedback—you’re losing out. Why? The happier you make your customers, the more likely it is that you’ll retain them. Bearing in mind that it’s six to seven times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to retain an existing one, I’d say you should definitely invest your time and effort into making the most of your customer feedback.

In today’s digital world, the online presence of any business is a priority. You build a website, you include customer testimonials, you create social media profiles, you regularly update your Google business listing. However, your online reputation isn’t just the result of what you generate on your end—it’s all instances in which your business appears online, including online reviews. With the prevalence and power of online review sites like Yelp, Google+, and Angie’s List, it is essential to understand the impact they have on your business, and how you can use reviews to build your online reputation.
