+Intelligent Reviews Strategy
It’s important to have a strategy when approaching your Online Reputation. On average clients search 2-3 review listings prior to requesting an appointment with an office. For that reason it’s necessary to focus your strategy on getting a consistent number of recent reviews across all of your listings.
In the FAQs below, you will find typical review site issues & an Intelligent Reviews solution.
- Low levels of reviews on all sites.
Evenly distribute IR percentages across all listing sites.
- High/moderate-level of negative reviews across all sites
Evenly distribute IR percentages across all listings sites. You’re doing great!
- High-level of positive reviews on one site & very few +/- reviews on others.
Decrease IR distribution of the site with the highest number of reviews, and evenly distribute the remaining percentage across other sites.
- High-level of positive reviews on one site & high-level of negative reviews across multiple other sites.
Decrease IR distribution of the site with the highest number of reviews, and evenly distribute the remaining percentage across other sites.
- High-level of negative reviews on one site & generally good reviews across other sites.
Increase IR distribution slightly (15-20%) to filter more reviews to the site with elevated levels of negative reviews, and evenly distribute the remaining percentage across other sites.
+Best Practices
Use these best practices in addition to the chart above to get the most from Intelligent Reviews.
- Never filter 100% of your review distribution to any one site.
- Maintain 3 to 4 active listing sites in Intelligent Reviews at all times. Ensure that each site has a minimum of 10% distribution.
- Avoid making changes to Intelligent Reviews too frequently.
Note: Unless your client base is very proactive at leaving reviews (i.e. you receive many reviews each week), it’s best to make changes gradually. We recommend checking your settings after a month’s time or even on a quarterly basis in response to your progress.
- Always respond to your reviews, both positive & negative.
Note: Responding to positive reviews let’s your clients know you appreciate their input, and responding to negative reviews let’s your audience know you care about your clients’ satisfaction.
- Don’t allocate any more than 30% of your review to Yelp.
Note: Based on our experience, sending too many review requests to Yelp puts your reviews at-risk of being “Not Recommended” by Yelp. Read more information on “Why would a review not be recommended?” in Yelp’s Support Center.
