The Best Way to Respond to
              a Negative Online Review

Take the reviewer’s perspective.
 Most reviews have some basis in fact,
 even if they are exaggerated. Therefore, it
 is in your best interest to read between
 the lines when examining negative
 reviews. It could be a great opportunity
 for you to improve your business. Plus,
 taking some time to consider the other
 perspective is also a great way to step
 back and breathe some before formulating
 a response.

Reply.

Take the time to provide a thoughtful
response. Your business will look much
better for it, even in the face of harsh
criticism.
The Best Way to Respond to
              a Negative Online Review

Leave emotion out of it.
Skip on the defensive, self-justifying, or
offensive remarks and maintain a calm,
friendly, and business-like tone when you
reply to a negative review. Remember
that other potential customers will read
your response, and behave yourself in a
manner you can be proud of down the
line - a manner that speaks for your
business in a positive way.
The Best Way to Respond to
           a Negative Online Review

Sympathize.

Feel bad that the customer had an
upsetting experience with your
business. You may say something like,
“This business prides itself on
customer service, and it upsets me to
know that you are not happy with
your experience working with us.”
The Best Way to Respond to
             a Negative Online Review

Provide a solution.
A great idea to offer the reviewer a
coupon and ask for a chance to redeem
yourself (or your business reputation,
that is).

  For example, if the reviewer complained that
  your representative was late, offer a coupon for
  the next service, and promise the representative
  will be on time.
The Best Way to Respond to
              a Negative Online Review

False reviews.

If a review is illegal, irrelevant to your
business, or an outright falsification, then
you can report it to the site administrator
(or flag it) to have it reviewed.
Online reputation management is a
 complex process, but it is also tantamount
to your business success. To make the most
 of your online reputation, you may want to
 enlist the help of qualified and competent
       professionals like us, SPANCEPT.
