2012 was the year that online reviews became a “thing” for businesses. It was the year that all the review platforms started stepping in the ring. Reviews these days are more trusted than branded messaging. People care to share their experiences and others see reviews as their own trusted digital advisors.
Understanding online reviews and how they affect your practice has never been more important than it is today. According to seo.com **92% of consumers read online reviews**, and 4 in 5 people are using search engines to find information about local businesses. What all this means is that **when people want to find a good dentist, they look online**.
Never before has the reputation of your company been as important as today. In this digital world, customers can create and view online reviews in seconds. Perspective is everything, and what your customers say about your business defines the quality of your product and service. Word of mouth will always be important, but online verification and investigation are a convenient tool. Most people prefer to research a product or service before trying it. If your business has a less than stellar online presence, this can impact your future sales.
