How do you manage negative reviews on the web?
Answered by:
Reply immediately. Letting negative comments or reviews go unanswered shows that you and your business' employees do not care about a customer's concerns.
However, it is best to take a negative conversation offline as soon as possible.
Post a simple message and request the customer to contact your support team directly. This way, whatever followup that takes place is out of the public eye.
Here's an example:
"I'm sorry your experience did not match yours and our expectations. Please send us a direct message or email/call [insert contact info] so we can further help you."
Then you can follow up with any remedial offer that is necessary.
