Hey, repair shop owners!
The year is 2024 and responding to every review on your Google profile has become more important than ever. Your response can make a huge difference in how your target audience views your business whether it’s a glowing five-star rating or negative feedback. So, why does it hold so much importance?
First things first, responding to Google reviews indicates that you care about your customers — it’ demonstrates that you are attentive to their concerns and views, helping you build trust. Also, when potential customers see that you take out some time to address feedback, they will be more likely to purchase from you.
According to a survey, 89% of consumers will likely choose a business that responds to reviews. Additionally, Google reviews influence your ranking in the search results too, which can bring more customers through your doors.
However, you may find it challenging to respond to every review, specifically when there is so much on your plate. That’s where RepairDesk Connect comes into play. It prompts customers to leave reviews effortlessly. You can enable two-way conversations with SMS chat and get instant notifications. This way, the moment you receive a text from a visitor, you can get back to them within seconds, making it the best unified inbox for repair shops. It’s like having a professional PR team at your fingertips!
This is not it. RD Connect also helps you gather more reviews with its review automation feature via SMS. Just ask Nate from Screen Fixing, who shared his success story. He used RepairDesk Connect to automatically request reviews from satisfied customers, and it worked like a charm. His Google profile is now filled with positive reviews, attracting even more business.
So, if you really want to thrive in this industry, make it a priority to respond to all your reviews.
