Take Control Of Your Online Reviews with Review Management Tools
How you’re perceived online is vital to your success. Positive review ratings increase your visibility to potential clients and let the world know that your practice is top-notch. However, your online presence can sometimes be shadowed by unfavorable reviews that clients leave for you. Whether you’re a small business just starting out or a larger, more established practice with multiple locations, being able to control your online reviews can have a big impact on your practice’s image.

Review Management Tools
Satisfaction Surveys
In an effort to keep your ear to the ground and stay abreast of any concerning issues your patients or clients may have, get in the practice of sending out satisfaction surveys. When your practice receives the answers, you can use the feedback received as a way to address any concerns or highlight any positives with the staff.
Tips For Successful Satisfaction Surveys
- Send the survey while the appointment is fresh on the client’s mind
- Consider incentivizing the survey with a fun bonus for those who complete the survey
- Respond personally and promptly after receiving strong negative feedback
- Thank anyone who offers personal praise
- Share the survey results with your staff
While surveys may not help you control all of the negative reviews clients leave, this will help alleviate many of the surprise reviews that show up highlighting a negative experience. It will also help open up the discussion with your staff on the importance of client experience.
