How to Respond to Reviews using Best of the Web’s Review Management Tools

Responding to online reviews, whether positive or negative gives you a chance to increase your credibility and communicate with the reviewer. Sometimes bad reviews are added online but there could be a major miscommunication or misunderstanding that you can resolve here. This also shows your future customers that you are willing to hear feedback to improve their experience with your business.

In your Customer Portal, you can find reviews that have not yet been responded to. These responses will be displayed publicly, so use your best judgment and be honest in your response. This is a great opportunity to share reviews on social media using the share button.
