Why are reviews important for your business?

“Nothing ruins your day more than getting a bad review.” - Taylor Swift

I don't think it's necessary to go into detail on the importance of reviews for your business; you definitely know it!

Similar to when you purchase anything online, you will look at the reviews and ratings first. Would you purchase a product from an unknown seller at risk? You won't, of course, as scammers are everywhere, especially in the online market. This is why reputation is very important!

For example, this DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver has 47,676 ratings and 4.8 stars. We can confidently state that this item has a good rating. However, there are still some scenarios that are beyond our control. Even with a decent rating, purchasing an item online has risks. Despite extensive inspections before shipment, problems might arise owing to production issues, courier mishaps, or human errors, emphasizing the possible uncertainties in online transactions.

The following are a few of the most reputable sites with ratings and reviews in a range of categories:

1. Google Reviews

Google reviews provide useful information and help your business stand out. Reviews show up next to your Business Profile in Maps and Search.

2. Facebook (Facebook Recommendations)

Facebook users who click on an advertisement and buy anything from a business may leave a review about their experience. Users can also like reviews for businesses that they find useful.

3. Trustpilot

Trustpilot offers reviews to help people shop with confidence, and also provides valuable insights to help businesses improve the experiences they provide.

4. Job Sites

I personally use Indeed to read reviews about specific companies - Businesses utilize different strategies to raise awareness of their brands and products in order to improve sales revenue. Online reviews are a marketing tactic you may use to show potential clients the worth of your business's products or services.

5. Metacritic

Metacritic is a website that aggregates reviews of films, television shows, music albums, video games, and formerly books. For each product, the scores from each review are averaged (a weighted average). Metacritic was created by Jason Dietz, Marc Doyle, and Julie Doyle Roberts in 1999, and is owned by Fandom, Inc. as of 2023.

NOTE: There are tons of trusted websites where you can check reviews. Always remember to conduct your own research before connecting with a specific firm.
