          Key Statistics from Bright Local: Local Consumer Review Survey

          86% of consumers read reviews for local businesses (including 95%

          of people aged 18-34)

          Consumers read an average of 10 online reviews before feeling able

          to trust a local business

          40% of consumers only take into account reviews written within the

          past 2 weeks – up from 18% last year

          57% of consumers will only use a business if it has 4 or more stars

          80% of 18-34-year-old have written online reviews – compared to

          just 41% of consumers over 55

          91% of 18-34-year-old consumers trust online reviews as much as

          personal recommendations

          89% of consumers read businesses responses to reviews most trusted review sites are Yelp & Facebook, followed by Google &BBB

           

          Have your shopping habits changed over the years?

          Reputation management is a time-consuming, never ending process. If you don’t have a way to see how you are performing, it’s a huge risk to your bottom line.

           

          Why don’t most IT companies invest in obtaining more customer reviews?

          o Lack of time

          o Try to do it manually sending emails / spreadsheets

          o Not a serious inclusion in their marketing plan

          o Fear of sending a review request to every customer

           

          Why don’t most customers leave reviews or respond to your requests?

          o You will find this out doing it manually

          o Forget

          o No time

          o Too hard

           

          FEATURES & BENEFITS OF TECH REPUTATION

          o Reporting–scorecard

          o Email / text messaging portion-heart of the app that requests reviews

          o Marketing-syndicate best reviews to FB, Twitter, Website

          o Exclusive to TR is our power listing feature.

          o Top 3 listings in google maps have an average of 85 citations (Bright Local)
