Is your company’s culture in a position to initiate, manage and respond to online reviews? Should employee reviews matter as much as consumer reviews? Surveys continue to indicate that well over 80% of consumers base their financial decisions on the content they read in an online review. These reviews are not just on consumer products but on where they will live and where they will work.

This number represents the trend in consumer behavior which we can attest to. Isn’t search so much easier for you now? Google pulls in your location, who you are connected with, what sites you have been on in the past and uses those metrics to create an algorithm that is just for you. Isn’t that sweet!!!

Please stand up if you have never looked up reviews to make a buying decision?
Apple has established brand recognition. If you are an Apple lover, you may always love Apple! BUT, where you decide to purchase your Apple gadgets may vary on the store or website now.. Your loyalty will be where you have a good experience and if you don’t, there's another store up the road. People love Amazon because their reviews are rich in content.
Trip advisor offers a variety of places for you to choose from and you may have one friend say they liked a hotel but if 300 out of 500 reviews say otherwise; you may think more than twice!
Yelp is exactly what is states! People “yelp” about being frustrated and unhappy. We have to place close attention to this site.
Making reservations? You may do that if you go on to pick your table and there are several reviews stating that the reservations aren’t’ secured often.
Even doctors have to be mindful-my Mom…
