Hi everyone, Linda Donnelly here! Let’s talk about something that can keep small business owners up at night: bad reviews. You know, those not-so-nice comments people leave on Google? They might seem small, but they can actually cause big problems.
Why Bad Reviews Are Like a Big Storm Cloud Over Your Business
Imagine you’re walking down a street and see two stores. One has a big, bright sign with lots of happy faces. The other has a sign that’s all scribbled over and looks sad. Which store are you more likely to go into? The happy one, right?
That’s how bad reviews work. They make your business look less appealing to potential customers.
- People Trust Reviews (Even the Bad Ones):
- Did you know that 93% of local consumers read online reviews before deciding to visit a business? (Source: BrightLocal) That means almost everyone looks at reviews!
- And here’s something you might not know: even one bad review can scare away a lot of customers. People tend to focus on the negative.
- Bad Reviews Hurt Your Google Ranking:
- Google wants to show people the best businesses. If you have lots of bad reviews, Google thinks your business isn’t very good.
- This means you might show up lower in search results and on Google Maps.
- Here is a stat many people miss, Businesses with a 5 star rating get 600% more clicks than businesses with a 3 star rating. That means people are looking at your stars, and if they are low, they click on someone else.
- They Make People Doubt Your Business:
- Bad reviews can make people think you’re not reliable or that your products or services aren’t good.
- This can make them choose your competitors instead.
What Can You Do About Bad Reviews?
Okay, so you have a bad review. Don’t panic! There are things you can do.
- Try to Fix the Problem:
- If the review is about a real problem, try to fix it.
- Contact the customer and see if you can make things right.
- Respond Politely:
- Even if the review is unfair, respond calmly and professionally.
- Show that you care about your customers.
- Report Fake or Unfair Reviews:
- Sometimes, reviews are fake or violate Google’s policies.
- You can report these reviews to Google and ask them to be removed.
