How Podium Offers Reputation Monitoring Software

Your customers already talk about you. Podium makes it easier to listen to what they say. Monitoring your reputation can help you reach out to unsatisfied customers, make changes to improve your business, and ensure customers feel heard. The following Podium features are powerful tools for reputation management. Podium also offers a free Reputation Grader tool which gives you a score for your online reputation based on Google Reviews. It also tells you how you can improve your online reputation based on that score.

Competitive Benchmarks

Have you ever wondered how your reviews compare to your competitors’ reviews? Podium allows you to compare competitive benchmarks to see how you stack up against the competition. You can review count, recency, and star rating to analyze the differences in your reviews, and make improvements to your business.

• Consumers rely heavily on reviews. An estimated 86 percent of customers read local business reviews before deciding to do business with them. If your competitor has more reviews, more recent reviews, and/or a better star rating, customers might flock to them and overlook your business. Monitoring both your and your competitors’ reviews is the easiest way to see if you come out on top. If you don’t, you’ll be able to strategize ways to improve on this front.

Review Notifications

When customers post new reviews, Podium lets you know instantly. This gives you an opportunity to read and respond to new reviews before more potential customers see them. This comes in handy with positive an negative reviews as well as questions. Because nothing makes a bad situation worse than a customer feeling ignored.

• You and your staff don’t have to manually check each review website to find out when customers post something new. Receive instant notifications to save time and respond quickly to every comment.

Automated Review Requests

Reviews are great, but what’s the point in monitoring them if you barely get any feedback? In addition to helping you monitor reviews, Podium can automate review requests so you can solicit more reviews.

• Getting customers to leave reviews isn’t always easy. Podium lets you use existing templates or craft custom messages to request new reviews. You can even decide how many customers receive review requests for each review site. Podium’s automated review process can help you get more reviews without putting in much effort.
