Here’s the latest instalment of Digital Marketing Reads, a roundup of some of the more interesting articles we’ve read lately in the digital marketing world.
If you run a local business, you’re probably using the Google My Business tool to promote it (and if you’re not, then you should definitelytalk to our Mildura digital marketing experts about getting that set up).
Google My Business allows you to add a location to Google Maps for your business, which makes it so that when people are searching in your area, your business profile will pop up if it’s related to what they’re searching for. It’s also where customers can leave a rating and review for your business, which is hugely important for attracting more customers (the idea being, people are more likely to go with your business if it has a higher rating and more review than other similar listings that come up in their search).
That’s why negative reviews can be so detrimental to your business’ success. Sometimes these bad reviews are posted by mistake, or by a spiteful customer who’s lying or exaggerating about their experience, and they can bring down the average rating of the business on Google Maps.
The good news is, you can report these fake or faulty reviews to Google and request to have them removed. The better news is that now, there’s a tool available where you can track the status of your reported reviews. You can also submit an appeal if your reported review was not taken down as requested, using this tool.
First, please note the “predicts” in the article title – i.e. this is not a fact or truth (yet), but merely an educated guess by Google.
