Many people will check reviews before they decide to step through your doors. Reviews are a reflection of the work you\u2019re doing. They are feedback for your business (wanted or unwanted).

The tough reality is that people are quick to tell the world about a negative experience, while most of those with a positive one aren\u2019t as compelled to post a review.

\n

If their experience wasn\u2019t great, you have a chance to make it right; and if it was, you can encourage them to share it online.
