Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Negative Review?

A negative review is any rating or review left on an online profile that rates a business, practice, or practitioner below three stars, on a five star rating scale. Negative reviews are a reality for any business with an online presence. With the increasing use of the internet by customers and patients, there has also been a rise in the overall number of reviews as people seek to voice their opinions on the businesses they frequent. Recently, there has also been an increase in the number of fake negative reviews, often left by competitors or scammers, which is a growing concern for many businesses and healthcare practices alike.

How Should I Respond to a Negative Review?

If you happen to be on the receiving end of a negative review, it is best to act quickly. The first thing to do is ensure the customer or patient was actually one of yours. Sometimes customers and patients get confused and post on the wrong profile. It could also be a fake negative review. Once you have verified that this is one of your customers or patients, respond in public and request to take the matter in private, over the phone or in person. Speaking with the patient directly, listening to their concerns and trying to understand their position can go a long way. In many cases, it will often result in them removing or modifying their review. Just remember to never, ever, reveal any PHI or disparage anyone in any way. This will only make things worse for you and your business!

What’s The Best Response to Negative Reviews?

Responding to a negative review is one of the best steps you can take to manage your business’s online reputation. Though every situation is different, we recommend that you check off the following qualities in your response: 1) Let them know you take their feedback seriously 2) Invite them to discuss the situation privately 3) If you suspect the review is fake, you can note “Though we didn’t find any issues matching your description, we want to investigate further to improve our customer experience.”By letting the reviewer know their negative experience is not the norm, that you’re interested in correcting the problem, or that you want to further discuss what happened, you not only have the opportunity to regain that customer, but you can also show prospective clients that you care about their experience.

How Should I Respond to Negative Reviews on Google?

Google is the most popular search engine in the world, and it’s also commonly used by people who are looking to find a doctor or local business, so we get that getting a bad review on Google isn’t ideal. Responding to negative reviews on Google is important if you want to help turn things around with that particular reviewer and show future users that you’re interested in improving your business.To best handle a negative review on Google, make sure you let them know that you are sorry to hear about their experience, would like to privately discuss the situation, and that you invite them to come back to give your business another try.

How Should I Respond to Negative Reviews on Facebook?

Many of us spend a decent amount of time on Facebook every day, so it’s only smart to create a Facebook page for your business too. If you’ve received a negative review on Facebook, it’s important to manage that situation with a good response.Since sticking your head in the sand isn’t an option, you’ll want to find that negative review quickly (you don’t want to respond weeks later) and let them know that your business aims to provide great customer experiences and that you’d like to discuss the situation with them so that you can better improve services in the future. Make sure you are always asking to get more information through a private conversation, rather than prompting them to leave more negative details on your public FB page.

What Are Some Good Responses to Negative Reviews on Yelp?

Whenever a business receives negative reviews on Yelp, we recommend that you should treat it delicately to try and turn the situation around.
