Any website that sells products or services online is bound to have reputation management for dealing with bad reviews as they can spring up anytime. These reviews usually rank higher in SERPs & make noticeable loss of reputation since 75% of users tend to check negative links first.
A big problem with such reviews is that Google too favors them somehow and seems to prefer them to other results. So, it is compulsory for websites to keep a close watch on who is writing what about them and apply suitable measures against negative reviews (whenever found).
Bad words travel faster than good reviews, so Nip them in the bud
Bad reviews spread like fire hitting the trust built among users and affect your business goals eventually. Negative reputation directly harms your online business identity and impact sales, traffic & brand value. Your target audience may never trust you again and choose someone else over you as internet gives them many options to choose.
