Reviews Sites versus Testimonials
Businesses in the age of social media can’t properly manage their reputations with testimonials. Consumers realize testimonials may be manufactured and not credible.
Consumers realize any negative feedback the business might receive from customers will not be displayed on the business website as a testimonial. Consumer motivation to see the bad, as well as good feedback, has driven the proliferation of review sites.
You need not remove testimonials, but customer reviews on third-party websites are much more persuasive to prospective customers.
Businesses should realize that potential customers may not visit their websites if they encounter negative reviews during the search process. Usually local listings, and links to reviews for each listing, are placed on the first page of search engines. Consumers read those reviews and use them to decide which company is worth visiting.
Some businesses are afraid to get involved with customer reviews and operate under the illusion they still control their reputations. If you realize that the social web has vastly improved the power of word of mouth, you’re much better off developing a strategy to encourage online customer recommendations from loyal clients.
