The Strategy

To tackle these problems, we designed a four-step ORM strategy which included regaining the trust of the audience, increasing customer attention, and meaningful engagement.

Phase 1: Comprehensive Audit and Analysis

We began with a deep dive into the client’s online presence, including their website, social media platforms, Google My Business listing, and review sites.

Key Findings:

Top complaints related to customer service and delayed responses.
Competitor analysis revealed they were leveraging strong SEO and content strategies. Missing opportunities to feature positive customer experiences online.

Action Plan

Develop a roadmap to address the most pressing issues first, such as resolving negative reviews and optimizing profiles for accuracy.

Phase 2: Repairing Reputation

Step 1: Addressing Negative Reviews

Implemented a Response Protocol:

Apologized publicly to dissatisfied customers while providing tailored solutions.
Privately reached out to resolve long-standing issues.

Created an Internal Feedback Loop:

Worked with the client’s team to identify recurring operational issues and resolve them at the root cause.

Step 2: Encouraging Positive Reviews

Launched a Review Incentive Program:

Encouraged satisfied customers to leave honest reviews by offering small incentives such as discounts or freebies.
Set up feedback kiosks at physical locations to streamline the process for in-store customers.

Step 3: Amplifying Testimonials

Collected and showcased detailed testimonials on the website and social media platforms.
Created video testimonials to enhance authenticity and engagement.
