Online Reputation: Recovering Missing Google Reviews

Professional reputation management is one of the biggest tasks you will undertake as  you build your brand. It can make or break your success online.

Why are Google reviews important? How does it shape your online reputation?

It is the realtime evidence that your business delivers on its promises. Be sure to use consistent brand experience, and keyword friendly language to prompt your clients to provide reviews on specific "services or products" so that you get more visibility around these as search terms.

It is User Generated Content for your brand - As Google reviews, Facebook recommendations, LinkedIn referrals are worth their weight in gold. There is alot of competition online and too many other brands ready and willing to respond to users - if you ignore this side of your digital strategy - you have an untapped lead generator.

Reporting A Negative Google Review

Missing Reviews?

Here's an example of a Google review that would likely be removed due to a violation of multiple policies:

Title: Worst Restaurant Ever!

This place is a total dump! I waited forever for my food, and when it finally arrived, it was cold and tasted disgusting. The staff were rude and unhelpful, and the whole place looked filthy. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy! #healthhazard #avoidatallcosts

This review violates several guidelines:

  • Off-topic and Offensive Language: The title and use of hashtags are unnecessary and not informative for other users.
  • Lack of Details: While negative, the review doesn't mention any specifics about the food or service.
  • Personal Attacks: Calling the staff rude and the restaurant a "dump" is subjective and inflammatory.

This type of review doesn't provide valuable information for potential customers and might be flagged for removal by Google.


Leveraging Google Business Updates & Reviews 

Posts are significant for Google visibility. Also leveraging Google reviews as a strategy helps you appear more in local searches in google. This is local SEO at work.

Your Google Reviews helps with credibility and ranking.  These can and should be integrated into your website for "real" testimonials. These reviews carry with them huge influence over product and service provider choices for clients.
