Importance of Online Reputation Management
Online reputation management is an important consideration for virtually any business. It's even more vital for professionals who make their money by providing expertise to their clients. In real estate, your reputation is essential fuel for growth. Our ability to help team members improve their reputation is one reason why Homesale Realty is the best place to build a practice.
Reputation management is essential because most of your future clients will find you online first. Before they know you well, they'll compare your reviews and testimonials to others in your area.
Since the vast majority of people trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, it's worthwhile to make online reputation management a cornerstone of your marketing efforts. Done right, it can give prospective customers the extra incentive to contact you before competitors. That, in turn, makes agents of any experience level less reliant on word-of-mouth business. Here's how to do it right:
- Set Up Accounts on Online Review Platforms
Most of today's online review platforms will automatically create an account for each business in a town or city. However, to respond to reviews or update your listing, you'll need to claim your account. To start with, focus on getting set up with Google My Business and Yelp. Reviews on these platforms are the most visible to people making immediate buying decisions.
