The importance of an effective review management workflow
Customers these days are more informed with the rise of social networks and online review platforms. There is information everywhere regarding a brand on Google as reviews, and these reviews impact the customers on making their decision whether to buy the product. Third-party review websites covering various topics are businesses in themselves. Currently, 93% of customers are now using reviews to assess the quality of local businesses (BrightLocal). In addition to this, 72% of customers reportedly don’t take action until they’ve read reviews of a product or service!
Alternatively, instead of leaving review management to your customer service team, we should treat reviews as a marketing conversion lever and manage accordingly. Read the article to find out how you can create a proactive review management workflow!
