The Easiest Way to Collect, Manage, and Leverage Online Reviews

When and How to Use Reviews as an SME

These days, it’s a necessity for businesses to prioritise reputation management. This is due in large part to the global marketplace becoming more and more competitive. You have to be aware of your company’s public image, and constantly be working to ensure that it’s a positive one. Hellopeter’s reputation management software makes it easy to collect, manage, and leverage your company’s online reviews so that you can boost your brand’s awareness, credibility, and ultimately your revenue.

What is Reputation Management Software?

You might be wondering, what exactly is reputation management software, and why is it so important to use it in your business? Perhaps the best definition is from Finances Online, who said, "Reputation management software is designed to monitor users' online reviews of products and services."

Put another way, it's a tool that can be used by businesses of all sizes to promote their brands, respond quickly and efficiently to both positive and negative customer experiences, and develop the overall online reputation of their company.

What to Look For in Reputation Management Software

As South Africa's #1 online review platform, here are some specific things you should be looking for in your software.

1. An Easy-to-Read Dashboard

You should look for review management software that has an organised and clean dashboard to see, at a glance, how your business is performing. Your review platform needs to provide you with some kind of measure of how your business stacks up against the competition as well.

Hellopeter provides a TrustIndex rating, for example, that tells the public exactly how credible your business is compared to other businesses. This number is prominently displayed on your dashboard so you can see exactly how you're doing over time.

2. Detailed Analytics

It's important to look for review management software capable of collecting and analysing information, such as how people find your business and how much of your website's traffic is coming from Google. This data will allow you to monitor growth, spot trends, and meet your business objectives much faster.

3. Review Collection Tools

You should look for software that allows you to easily collect feedback about your business. Tools like Hellopeter's intelligent review invite technology make it simple to capture every customer experience by enabling customers to write reviews directly from their email inbox, SMS and WhatsApp.

These tools will save you time and help you get more reviews with minimal effort. It's also helpful to have a review share link as well as embeddable widgets on your website. The easier it is for your customers to give feedback, the more reviews you will collect.

4. Social Sharing Capabilities

The best way to leverage your online reviews for brand awareness and to build your credibility is to be able to share them! For example, if someone loves your business and gives you a glowing review, you need the ability to share that testimonial with the click of a button on your Facebook page! That's why whichever software you choose needs to have social sharing capabilities.

Hellopeter takes review sharing a step further by helping you turn your best customer reviews into beautiful Social Ads for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn in just a few clicks. No design skills are needed.
That's why we're confident that we offer the best reputation management software on the market. We simplify the process so you can collect more reviews and leverage them for growth.
