With most people turning to online reviews and social media to size up a company, proactive reputation management is key to building up your business’s credibility, trustworthiness and perception in the eyes of customers.

Cultivate Reviews Through Standout Service

Reviews from happy customers are still one of the biggest drivers behind your online reputation. If you want to amp up positive reviews and recommendations, get serious about over-delivering amazing experiences. 

Survey customers to hear their feedback about what could improve their dealings with your company, coach employees to resolve complaints ASAP, then follow-up with delighted clients urging them to post about their experiences. 

Building that kind of satisfaction creates boundless potential to inspire raving fans.

Strategic Response to All Digital Mentions

Staying on top of brand mentions across Google Alerts and social listening tools gives you the lowdown on what people are saying about you online. 

Look out for reviews, comments, forum/blog references – monitor the good and the bad. Compile positive references you can flaunt as proof of your shining stars. 

For negative feedback, straddle that line between humble and confident, respond swiftly with a game plan to set things right, recover the relationship, and follow-up. 

Skilled responses often turn complainers into cheerleaders, while silence just makes things worse.


Leverage Influencers

Influential people like analysts and bloggers can work wonders for your reputation as brand ambassadors if they believe your story. 


Seek out those respected voices in your niche and start building real relationships. Ask for their feedback about your products and services, then promote those kudos on your site and social channels if they shine a spotlight on your business. 


Also get your ardent customers spreading the love through advocate incentives and social campaigns.


Manage Review Sites Diligently

Proactively managing your listings on Google My Business, Yelp and other review sites is a must for total reputation control. Fill out profiles completely, add great biz photos, respond to reviews – always go the extra mile. 

Make it easy to learn about and connect with you. Mind your mentions by setting up alerts for the moment a new review drops. 

If a bad one seems unfair, turn up your charm to get it politely removed. And never succumb to fake reviews just to look good!


Bottom Line


Expert business reputation management with a human-centric system is the key to elevating your credibility and steering public narrative. 

Combining an eagle eye on all brand mentions with the diligent care of your valued clients drives growth in spades. 

By actively monitoring your online presence and responding to issues respectfully, you can inspire influential advocates to spread loyalty far and wide. 

In an age of endless competition, one-in-a-million service and sterling word of mouth is everything!

Your image is how that brand is visually and experientially represented to the world. When people see or hear your brand name, what do they think? That mental association is the result of intentional (or unintentional) image development. A strong image helps establish trust, credibility, and a sense of professionalism. It also influences purchasing decisions, partnership opportunities, and even how the media cover...
