Responding to your clients' reviews is a great way to increase your online rankings. GoSite's Reviews tool not only enables you to send and organize reviews but also allows you to respond to Google, Facebook, and GoSite Direct reviews straight from your GoSite dashboard!

The GoSite Reviews tool filters reviews of 3 stars or higher into "All Positive" and reviews of 2 stars or lower into "All Negative." It is common best practice to reply to positive reviews in a week or less and negative reviews within 24 hours.

Regularly responding to reviews not only displays proper business etiquette, but also sends activity signals to Google. This is beneficial because it shows Google that your business is active while showing potential customers that your business really cares. Be sure to reply to negative reviews in a timely manner as this is an opportunity for you to address any issues offline and protect your online reputation.
