Having a good reputation as a business can be a game changer when it comes to business leads and appealing to potential customers.

Businesses want to boast their company's 5-star ratings and reviews to potential customers and the best way to get the word out is with a strong Online Reputation Marketing strategy. In order to beat the competition, a business needs to have a better reputation and better ratings than its competitors.

A vast majority of consumers will go online to research a company and its reputation before deciding to invest in the business. Businesses with good reputations will clearly have the upper hand. A reported 82% of consumers will trust a good rating, or good customer reviews. That is a staggering statistic. The bottom line is consumers are not going to patronize a business that does not have a good reputation and has bad reviews.

With a strong Online Reputation Marketing Strategy, a business can know what consumers are saying about the business (good or bad), develop a 5-star reputation and display it for everyone to see, and market that 5-star reputation to attract more customers.

Once that 5-star reputation is established, it is just as important for the business and all of its affiliates to maintain that reputation to make sure the customer has a first-class experience.
