How to Reply to Fake Reviews

Talking about fake reviews, businesses ask if anything can be done to battle against fakes. It’s observed that 15% - 30% of online reviews aren’t genuine. Fake reviews are a bit sensitive; here is how you can handle them:

  • If someone ever leaves you a false review, simply find the review site’s TOS or FAQ page. Find out how to report or flag the review as false.
  • Don’t respond to the review unless it’s not permitted to flag reviews as fake on the review site.
  • Don’t abuse them. That will make your business look deficient.
  • Build a review marketing tactic that allows your brand to receive fresh positive reviews consistently.

Yes, there is so much to do within Yelp to improve your business, Jeff. Yelp is one of the few review sites you can leverage to receive and respond to those reviews that consumers leave after buying a product or service from your business. This can impact your business greatly. Thanks for your time, my friend!
