Owning a business is a huge responsibility, one that not many understand. Your constantly being held underneath a microscope. Make one mistake with that microscope and your image will be completely blurry.
If your like me, before trying something out, of course, you Google it. Today we base our decisions on one thing, and that s a google review. We look at those stars and judge a company based on their amount. Little do people know, as a business owner you can t alter someone s review. You can t report the information as false without going through tons of flaming hoops. As a business owner you can reply to someone s review, voicing your concern and try to reassure the reviewing customer that their issues will be solved.
If the review is falsifying information, is the owner supposed to argue with the customer?? Absolutely not! This will then turn the review into a he said she said load of statements.
Anyone can review a company, I can review a company and say whatever I want, despite the truth. Someone in a different state that knows nothing about a particular company can say whatever they want, and someone can write a terrible review because you simply did not offer the services they were requesting or simply because they didn t like the shoes the workers were wearing.
This is what we today base our business decisions upon.
Along with being underneath that microscope a business is allowed to respond and react however they see fit. Would responding to reviews with false information look as if we were in the right?? No, it wouldn t, because someone such as myself from the outside simply sees one thing, and that is that one star review.
Just like myself,
Next time you decide to choose a place of business, in any category, do your research. Don t just base your decision off of one bad review. Statistics show that for every bad review it takes 10 positive reviews to eliminate that single one star review. Don t base your business decision off of someone who was upset because they didn t like what side of the street the company truck was parked on.
Shop around and base your decisions off of your own truthful experiences.
