Online reviews are now key to commercial success.<\/p>\n<p>If you use our service then you\u2019ll have a ratings and reviews system on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quotatispro.co.uk\/login.html?_=1506349411&amp;redirect=%2F\">Quotatis profile page<\/a>. You might also have reviews on your business website (if you have one) or sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.trustpilot.com\/\">Trustpilot<\/a> or Google.<\/p>\n<p>Manage your online reviews correctly and you\u2019re far more likely to attract new customers. Try out these 3 tips to help you manage your reviews and boost your business.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Encourage your customers to leave reviews<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s essential to recognise that if you want reviews, you\u2019re probably going to need to give your customers a bit of encouragement. Have a think \u2013 when was the last time you wrote a review for something totally unprompted?<\/p>\n<p>Get into the routine of asking your customers to leave you a review when you\u2019ve finished a job for them. The easiest way to do this is via email with a link to your reviews page, or the last time you speak to them in person or on the phone about the job. Don\u2019t pressure or pester them \u2013 a gentle reminder is all you need.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_554469106-400-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2482 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/>Plus, if you use our service, we\u2019ll send the customers you get through Quotatis reminders to write a review about your service 4 and 30 days after you receive their enquiry.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Don\u2019t feel pressured to fake it<\/h3>\n<p>Reviews can take a while to build up. If you get impatient then it can be tempting to buy fake reviews. But don\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>Fake reviews are usually pretty obvious \u2013 they\u2019re often overbearing and written in a noticeably similar way. If you get caught out (and this is pretty likely) it could significantly damage your business\u2019 reputation.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Turn negative reviews around<\/h3>\n<p>We generally see positive reviews as good for business and negative ones as bad for them. But this isn\u2019t necessarily right. True, several bad reviews on your Quotatis profile page or website has serious potential to damage your business. But engaging with the writer of a bad review and working to try to put it right can shine a positive light on you and your business.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you do receive a bad review, respond to show that you\u2019re addressing the issue and take steps to put it right. You could manage to get the reviewer to change their review to a positive one. And even if you don\u2019t, other potential customers will be able to see the effort that you\u2019ve put into addressing the reviewer\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n<p>So, don\u2019t underestimate the power of online reviews. They can be a great tool to use to build your reputation and get your business out there. Use these 3 tips to manage your reviews to show homeowners just how great your work is and grow your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time you bought a product or service, did you check its online reviews before you made the purchase? 92% of consumers read online &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"3 Tips to Help You Use Online Reviews to Boost Your Business\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/pros\/use-online-reviews-boost-business\/#more-2478\" aria-label=\"Read more about 3 Tips to Help You Use Online Reviews to Boost Your Business\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1390,1415,1382],"tags":[1506,1464],"class_list":["post-2478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-tips-advice","category-online-marketing","category-pros","tag-reviews","tag-trades-talk","infinite-scroll-item","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Use Online Reviews to Boost Your Business - Local Quotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Manage your online reviews correctly and you\u2019re far more likely to attract new customers.
