It’s become something of a trend for U.S. consumers to share their thoughts about the customer service they have received -- good and bad --through social media.

That's why it's so important to hire or outsource a dedicated digital marketing team.

Customer testimonials and reviews are becoming increasingly important in a homeowner’s decision-making process when hiring a builder, remodeler, or contractor. Most people won’t even see a movie or visit a restaurant without first reading reviews, so there’s no doubt they’re going to do extensive research when it comes to buying a new home or remodeling their current one.
