Having online visibility and up-to-date profiles has always been important to gain and maintain the trust of your customers. But in this current context of instability due to COVID-19, keeping the promises you make as a company to users is absolutely vital.

According to a study conducted by BrightLocal

"A 93% of consumers read reviews of local businesses to determine whether the company is recommended or not."

For this reason, it is of crucial importance to take care of all aspects in order to create a positive image of the company. These factors include responses to customer reviews: the use of appropriate language, knowing how to react to a bad review in a positive way, speed, efficiency, and the ability to respond in a positive way.

For this reason, it is of crucial importance to take care of the management of our customers' reviews. Here are the details as Zapiplay manage online reputation and help to keep your customers happy.

• We respond to all reviews: positive or negative.

Reading a positive review is always reassuring. It means that you are doing well and that your customers are willing to recommend you to other customers. It's a small achievement that also helps to increase the average rating of your business and therefore attract new customers. Consumers are more likely to make a purchase or visit an establishment if the business has an average rating between 4.0 and 4.7.

But responding to a negative customer review is a sign that, as a business, you care about their opinion. In other words, that you are an honest business. It is also an opportunity to show how you react to customer complaints.
