Why an Online Reputation is Important For Offline Businesses

December 18, 2019 by Laura

Reputation management consultants offer services to businesses and individuals to help them manage, improve and maintain their online reputations. I have a good friend who works in this industry and speaking to him recently he was describing the risk which so many businesses run in not looking after their online reputation. In the main those businesses who do utilize these services are online business, but a good online reputation is not important for web based companies, and more offline businesses need to learn just how crucial their online standing is. If you run a high street store or an out-of-town business, here is exactly why your online reputation does make a difference, and why you need to ensure that you are focusing on this.

Organic Search

When customers are looking for a product or service they are increasingly using search engines to find what they need in their locality. What this means for you is that there are potential customers out there who are using the internet to find companies just like yours. Now if you have a poor online reputation then when they find your business and do some research, all they will see when they find out more is negative comments and poor reviews. If however you have a good reputation online then they are going to much more likely to come through your doors and give you business.

Word of Mouth

You may not think that the internet is an important factor in terms of your offline business but even if you are not actively doing anything online, you can bet that the internet community are. Review sites are of great importance when it comes to customers learning more about a business and whether you like it or not, people will be going online after doing business with you and leaving their comments about how things went. Now, you may get lucky and find that all of the reviews are positive, but what if they are not? These negative reviews are going to be sitting there, putting people off using your business without you even knowing about it. This is yet another reason why you simply must pay attention to your online reputation.

Competition

No matter what industry or sector you are working in, there is likely to be stiff competition from your rivals. If your competition is focusing on their online reputation and making sure that they keep in at a positive level, then they can leverage this to take market share away from you. They may even be doing this without you noticing. Nobody can afford to give up market share so easily and if you work on your online rep and the competition don’t, you can get one up on them, if you work on it and they are as well, at least you can level the playing field.

Online reputations in the modern world are everything for businesses, no matter where they operate.
