Introduction to Review Generation
After monitoring and response, the next step to creating a great reviews management program is asking for additional feedback. Review Generation allows you to reach out to your customers to request authentic reviews. You can request both first-party reviews and third-party reviews for most publishers other than Yelp. You can add the first-party reviews to your own website to enhance your website experience. Third-party reviews will be added to the publisher site the review is requested for, such as Google or Facebook.
Generating reviews helps you to cast a wider net and reach out to all of your customers for feedback. This has major benefits including increased click through rate, additional customer feedback, more accurate customer feedback, and increased checkouts.
