The Top 10 Review Websites
We live in an age where opinion matters. Online reviews provide a platform for businesses and customers to share information, experiences, and yes, their opinion. Review websites can bolster your organization’s profile and increase your online presence. In fact, studies have shown that most consumers will check a review site before visiting a business.
As a Kelowna marketing agency, Twin Creek Media has helped several businesses use review sites for testimonials, online listings, and for engagement in providing the best customer service.
1. Google My Business
Top of the heap. A study by ReviewTrackers has shown that 63.6 percent of consumers are likely to check online reviews on Google before visiting a business.
2. Facebook
Spread the word. Facebook allows you to place a star rating on a business’ news feed or recommend a business to share on your own page with your friends or the public.
3. Amazon
Get recommendations on books, electronics, music and more through customer reviews on all the products that Amazon distributes.
4. Yelp
Build a business page and they will come. Yelp allows businesses to connect and communicate with their customers through online listings and reviews.
5. TripAdvisor
With listings, reviews, and even reservation booking capabilities, TripAdvisor is the place to visit when looking for airlines, hotels, restaurants, and other travel-tourism information.
