Take Control of Your Reviews

Good morning, everyone. Sandy Weigt here from MSW Interactive Designs. And today I want to talk about the importance of reviews for your business. And you know, there's some surprising stats out there these days about reviews because you know, the consumer is in control, right? So 74% say that businesses appear more trustworthy online when they have a lot of good reviews. 84% of people say that they trust online reviews as much as they do a recommendation from a friend. 92% of people actually read reviews before making a purchasing decision. And it's been shown that your star rating online is the number one factor in influencing people to do business with you. So it's super important to take control of your reviews. Some benefits of doing that include increasing conversions, increasing sales, more visibility for desktop search, voice search, map search, and search near me. It's super important. We have got a partner, Bluejay Reviews. If you go to bluejreviews.com MSW, there's some information about the product they have. We use it for our own business. I highly recommend it. It's a simple way to take control of your reviews, automate the process of getting reviews from happy clients and getting text and email notifications anytime you get a new review from a variety of platforms across social media, Google and the other review sites. So I hope this helps take control of your reviews in 2020. Sandy Waggett with MSW Interactive Design signing off. Have a great day.
