Guidelines for businesses for responding to different review sites http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/guidelines-for-businesses-for-responding-to-different-review-sites.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/guidelines-for-businesses-for-responding-to-different-review-sites.html Here are a few listing companies and a brief description on how you could approach different review sites to respond, edit or remove the reviews.
1) Yelp - Owner can respond, delete and edit reviews.
2) Trip Advisor – Owner can respond and delete reviews, but cannot edit reviews. To have a TripAdvisor editor delete a review, you must email them at userreviewsupport@tripadvisor.com
3) InsiderPages – Owner can respond, delete and edit reviews. To get a review deleted email customer service at customerservice@insiderpages.com and they’ll take it down for you.
4) Yahoo! -  Owner can respond, delete and edit reviews.
Yahoo’s Review Deletion Policy States –  To completely delete your review first go to the review that you wrote, Click “Report Abuse.” And in the feed back part of the form, let us know that you would like your review deleted. After your account information is verified, your review will be removed.
5) Google Maps – You can delete and edit a review and according to the latest news, owners can respond to the review. As of 8/2010, Google began allowing owner responses to Google-based reviews. This represented a huge change in Google’s policy. Owners cannot respond to reviews culled from third party sources, but can now respond to all reviews left within Google Maps/Place pages. As of now it’s a process that takes a few days.
6) SuperPages - Owner can respond, delete and edit reviews.
7) City Search – Owner can respond and edit reviews but cannot delete them.
Reputation Management companies gives you a comprehensive solution through Search Engine Optimisation that deals with your online reputation with expert procedures.

Responding to negative Reviews on Google Places http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/responding-to-negative-reviews-on-google-places.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/responding-to-negative-reviews-on-google-places.html Google’s local business listings now called Google Places has introduced a change where in local businesses can respond to customer reviews. Earlier, small businesses fed up with the negative reviews on Google’s local business listing would finally suspend their listing and create a new one to avoid its negative impact on their business. This was done at a huge risk of losing a good ranking which end up sacrificing their business info on the initial first page of Google Maps to disappear.


With customers using online reviews as a part of the purchase decision, responding to reviews should be done with care. Now as business owners can respond to both the negative and positive reviews there’s a totally new phase with Google Places that enable the business owners manage their online reputation.


How should you Respond and What to Say


Here are some tips for business owners that are going to begin responding to these reviews so you can avoid embarrassment and maximize the positive effect.


· Make sure the issue is important and if it’s your mistake say that you are sorry the reviewer had a problem. Owning the issue cools down the sentiment of the viewer.


· Your response should immediately make them feel that when someone has a problem, your business will hear to them.


· Take up the golden opportunity to market your business by describing remedial measures taken to avoid that issue and explain how future customers will not face that issue.


· Tell that you have introduced a new process that would convince the prospects that your company is good and is getting better.


· Your offer to fix a reviewer’s problem is a great marketing investment.

Removing Negative Comments on TripAdvisor http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/removing-negative-comments-on-tripadvisor.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/comments-in-forums/removing-negative-comments-on-tripadvisor.html TripAdvisor.com is a popular free travel and research website that helps customers to get information about a particular place hotel, restaurant or attraction. A perfect consumer generated platform and it’s free. Most of the content here are consumer generated like opinion, reviews on travel related issues, which finally converts into an interactive travel forum.  They have more than one million hotels and restaurants in their database.

TripAdvisor gets tons of reviews day in and day out. They entertain 100% honest and frank opinion. On an average they receive 21 reviews per minute, so this literally makes it unfeasible to cross-check each and every comment, but they claim to review the comments and do take some days to post them.

The unique thing about review/comments on TripAdvisor:

  • TripAdvisor does not provide direct contact between the members of the travel community and the owners,
  • All users on their website are unknown unless they post their contact details like e-mail or phone numbers. So this again makes it very difficult to contact the person and request him to remove the post,
  • The user/reviewer cannot edit his comments once posted, but he will have to send a mail to TripAdvisor and ask them to allow you to edit or remove the comment, and
  • All this makes it very tedious task remove negative comments if it appears on TripAdvisor
What we advice our clients on negative reviews on TripAdvisor

Firstly let us ensure the comments are genuine and do they really possess risk to your business. It’s always a good idea to check if there are many customers grumbling about the same problem.

How to remove negative comments on Yelp http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/how-to-remove-negative-comments-on-yelp.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/how-to-remove-negative-comments-on-yelp.html
If you find yourself listed on Yelp and have negative reviews, it’s obvious that the Yelp page about your product/service will rank high on search engines (Google). This development can be a mixed blessing, when the reviews are good it’s great for your business but can be right the opposite it is not!

Yelp is a powerful consumer review website and has been in business since 2004.

Yelp’s catch tag itself explains that it is out to help people search great local businesses from dentists to your local vendor. This ultimately results them to rank high on Google.
Secondly the most alarming thing about negative reviews on Yelp is that it invites other users to post their comments, which will further damage your credibility.
Finally there is no way to get these bad reviews off Yelp, but bury them so they rank lower on Google or other search engines.

Expert advice: Implement a well studied approach to remove Yelp negative reviews. Being in the business we cannot stress enough on the fact that even if there is one negative review about your business on Yelp and the longer it remains there, the more harmful it is for your business.

To remove negative comments there are some basic facts we should know:
  • Remember these reviews are posted by customers themselves; it is a tough job to have them removed forever.
  • Secondly, they attract more traffic and viewership the very moment they appear on the front page of Google.
  • We all know that such reviews and negative comments need not be true, but the fact remains that it kills your business and you are always left without support to defend yourselves
  • Finally going after them with a legal suit is not a viable option besides its time consuming.
What we do to bury them in the inner pages of Google search results:
  • Contact the website owner and ask for them to remove the negative comments, often this does not work unless the content is libelous.
  • Bury the bad press by filling the Internet with positive content that you can control.
  • Most customers make buying decisions based on page one, however, people research you or journalists digging for a story will go way past page one.
  • We can help advice, defend and fight to protect your name, Brand or Company from unwanted bad and negative comments online.

Remove bad press online http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/remove-bad-press-online.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/remove-bad-press-online.html Bad News: Prominent negative results appearing when someone searches for your company name

Good news: You can work towards alleviating it (at least it will take them off the first page of search engine indexes).

Negative online publicity or bad press online about your company can be everywhere in the Internet, in places you know and in places you do not. Initially it must have just been a small negative comment which originated, but as the game "Chinese whisper" goes, what is finally over the forum comments, review sites and blogs might be an entirely different story (and mind you, it will definitely not be something you like to hear).
Statistics reveal that over 70 per cent of the so-called "news" is likely to be defamatory (created to taint your company's image to the public) and about 80% of your prospective business partners or clients dig up the Internet to check out your company's profile. And, what if it is the prominently displayed negative results about your company that greet them. Sad!

So how do you work towards removing bad press online, is the next question. Here are a few tips:

 

  • The easiest way to remove bad press is to "bump it out" of the first page, because research shows that 90% people do not move beyond the first page when they search for something specific.
  • Check out what has happened in the individual case if it is a complaint about your service.
  • Contact the site owner and see if you can get him to remove bad press online. You might not always be lucky here (unless of course the content is detracting). However, give it a try.
  • Surpass the bad press with lots of positive content (ones that you can control)

Whatever be your issue with reputation management (a) be it competitors distributing bad press about your business (b) negative consumer reports about your problems and services or (c) if your company is a victim of bad press in the Internet...We are here to help.

How Do Negative Pages In Search Results Hurt You http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/negative-search-engine-results/how-do-negative-pages-in-search-results-hurt-you.html http://www.reputationmanagementfor.com/negative-search-engine-results/how-do-negative-pages-in-search-results-hurt-you.html The reasons for definitely monitoring and seeing what negative responses maybe effecting your business is because you could be loosing business.  Quite often a  company will only find out if there is negative pages or comments on the Internet when a customer remarks on it or says they have decided to go else where because of what they have read on the net.

It's in human nature to write about a negative experience and get it off your chest when they feel hard done by or had a bad experience with a company.  At the same time customers who have had a fantastic experience very rarely write about it.  Because of this the Internet can become very one sided, heavily towards the negative end.

negative-search-results-help

wallMore often than not, businesses don''t know how much negative results appearing in the search engines is costing them, they can only take a guess at it.  Reputation Management is best seen as an investment that will pay back dividends.  Towns in previous centuries would build a defence wall to protect themselves rather than wait until they were attacked Reputation Management is exactly the same.

So you can spend a small fortune on SEO, only to be totally undermined by having negative results for your company name.  So for example lets say my company name is BB Widgets Suppliers and I sell blue widgets, I've focused my SEO on ranking highly for the keywords Blue Widgets.  Now that the customer has found me if they don't bookmark my site then they are likely to google BB Widgets Suppliers as they now know your company name.  It is at this point that if negative content is ranking highly for your company name then all that SEO work has gone out the window.
