Reputation Marketing Proposal
Overview Summary

Issue: Company Is Not Listed In All Directory Sites
Thousands of customers everyday search on local business directories like Google+, Yelp, Yahoo Local, and many other sites to find the most reputable company to do business with. After extensive research we found that your company could not be found or is not properly set up on some of the most vital directories for your business.

Issue: Multiple Bad Reviews & Poor Ratings
We have found bad reviews and poor ratings about your company on local business directories. Each poor review not only is publically read by your potential customers, but it also brings down your reputation score on local directory sites. Many local directories such as City Search and Insider Pages aggregate reviews from other sites. Therefore both good and bad reviews can spread to other sites very quickly. Under these circumstances, any effort to direct potential customers to your online presence can result as a referral to your competition.
Solution: Average Up Your Reviews and Bury Your Bad Reviews
Post more 5 Star Reviews to bring your reputation score up
Post more 5 Star Reviews to push the bad reviews off the first page of your listing

Issue: Not Enough Reviews To Be Trusted
Consumers will read an average of 10 reviews before making a decision and research shows that customers do not trust a company that has less than 10 five star reviews. Therefore your company needs a strategy to quickly get more online reviews to show up on your directory listings.
Solution: Create A Customer Review Strategy
Create professionally designed review post cards to collect customer reviews
Create professionally designed review business cards to collect customer reviews
Create a professionally written email campaign to collect customer reviews
Issue: No Control Over Customer Reviews
No matter what strategy a company uses to collect reviews; your company does not have control over the fact that customers may post bad reviews. Your business is only one customer a way from getting a poor reputation online.
Solution: Create A Private Review Page To Collect Reviews
-A private review page will ensure that when bad reviews are posted that they will never be public. You will be notified of these reviews so you and your staff can address them if you would like privately and internally.
Develop a private review page to collect reviews from customers
Create a process that bad reviews get filtered and sent to your companies manager
Create a process to post 5 Star reviews online on important local business directory sites

Issue: No Review Posting Strategy
Companies that get reviews from their customers cannot post those reviews online themselves because local directories like Yelp, Google, Bing, and dozens of others, have proprietary filters and algorithms to delete reviews that are posted from the same computer IP network. Therefore, if you post those reviews from inside your business, Google will delete them and flag your Google account as spam because there’s no way to tell if yours is real or made up.
Solution: Develop and implement a proprietary strategy that overrides the review filters and algorithms in order to post 5-star reviews to your local directory sites
Develop strategies to bypass review filters
Post real reviews from customers collected on our review page
Sort through reviews to find the best for posting
Optimize the reviews for your company

Issue: No Reputation Monitoring System
Unlike the 100’s of different software that can monitor your social engagement, brand and company name, these technologies like Google Alerts cannot monitor your reputation. When people leave reviews on a directory site like yelp, they never mention your name because they’re already on your business listing. Therefore, with dozens of review sites that are out there, there is no way for even the most sophisticated social or branding software to know if bad reviews are being posted and no way to follow up to get the bad reviews eliminated.
Solution: Create a monitoring process with our team that monitors, tracks, and reviews
your listings on a daily basis
Create a monitoring process that daily monitors, tracks, and reviews your online review sites

Issue: No Reputation Website Marketing
Almost 3 out of 4 consumers say that online reviews are a major factor in deciding or not deciding to buy a product or service. Currently on your website, you do not have the authority or social proof to show the customers who have visited your site that you are the leader in the marketplace.
Solution: Harnessing the power of written and video testimonials and adding them
directly to your website for new and existing customers to see.

Branding of your company through videos reviews
Add video testimonials and reviews to your website
Add the latest written testimonial reviews from your local directories to your site
Issue: No Video Review Testimonials
“All things being equal, people buy from people. All things being unequal, people buy from people.” The most powerful reviews are video reviews with real customers that have experienced your products and services. You do not presently have any video reviews to be able to leverage the great customer service and experience that you give on your website, social media, or on any of your business listings.
