More than ever potential customers are searching for local businesses online. There has never been a better time to rapidly grow your business using local online marketing. You'll create an endless flow of leads and sales to your business
There isn't a time when local marketing has had such a positive impact on your business. I am talking about a specific type of marketing: reputation marketing. And if done right, reputation marketing will enhance all of your current marketing efforts.
Do you know what your potential customers are doing online? Might it be possible they're using the internet to research your business before they decide to contact you?
One recent study shows by increasing your reputation rating by a half of a star can skyrocket your business by a full 19%.
Will Improving My Online Reputation Connect Me With More Customers?
Many business owners wonder how they can consistently get 5 star reviews from their existing customers. The problem is that it's been difficult for most local business to get a never-ending flow of great reviews and then leverage those reviews to get more customers.
It doesn't have to be difficult if you use the right strategies.
In a recent study, 92% of all consumers read online reviews. Plus the 18 to 24 year old consumer reads online business reviews before using their services.
How does a local business go about making sure they create and continue growing a five star reputation? Here are three simple tips for securing more five star reviews
Case Study
Aquatics Academy started with ten 6-month old reviews. When a potential customer looked at Google, it almost looked that the Aquatics Academy was out of business. Sales were in a slump. The Aquatics Academy was put on a system to gain more positive reviews. In 90 days, the Academy had a total of 37 positive reviews, opened 2 additional pool sites and couldn't hire fast enough for all the people lined up to use their services. Customers are looking for you every single day so it's just a matter of you getting found. The size of your business doesn't matter. What matters is taking the strategy that you just read about and putting it into action can take your business to a whole new level. Local reputation marketing offers a juicy untapped opportunity for the small business owner.Comments (1-4)
