Sending feedback or review requests is a pillar of any online reputation solution. Review quantity can provide plenty of value, such as suppressing the effects of a few negative reviews, and influencing customers when they make purchase decisions. GatherUp makes it easy to gather feedback from customers through multiple channels. But what happens when a business stops sending requests?
That’s right, reviews and feedback stop coming in. But how do you know if review requests aren’t being sent?
Set a No Requests Sent reminder in GatherUp and you’ll be alerted quickly when review requests stop sending. Agencies can reduce churn by identifying a problem with client customers being added to GatherUp. Multi-location or franchise teams also need to know which of their locations are adding customers and sending requests to meet the KPIs created to build a better online reputation.
Why it's important to consistently send review requests
It’s vital for agencies and multi-location teams to know when a business or location isn’t sending feedback requests. Reviews will not flow in at the same velocity without requests being sent.
57% of buyers expect a business to have more than 11 reviews. It’s possible to gain a few 3rd party reviews here and there without sending requests, but velocity will be lower and valuable 1st party reviews will cease to be collected.
Businesses with more than 9 fresh reviews (posted within the past 90 days) earn 52% more than average and those with more than 25 earn 108% more than average.
Every day you’re not sending review requests is a missed opportunity to collect customer interactions, improve your business and earn more revenue.
This notification will alert you to an issue before it becomes a problem.
