Nico DatoOnline reviews have become all the talk in 2015. Why? Because they deliver more value, at a lower cost, than most other marketing activities – it’s a marketing tactic that is a literal gold mine for many businesses with a local presence. If your business isn’t currently collecting new, positive reviews, you run the risk of losing potential customers to nearby competitors.
We’ve heard from business after business that trust in their brand has increased, their position in the local search rankings is right near the top, and walk-in customers, citing online reviews as the reason for their visit, have gone through the roof.
In fact, a recent study found that 92% of consumers now look at online reviews. What’s more is 88% of consumers can form an opinion by reading 1-10 reviews about a business. With those types of numbers, it’s imperative for any and every local business to ensure they have a healthy online review presence with positive reviews for potential customers to stumble upon.
Has your local business taken advantage of online reviews? If not, it might be time to start collecting more on sites like Google, Yelp, and Facebook. Not only can it increase your business’ brand trust, but it can help you rank higher in local search (SEO).
