When searching for spas, Google was also the top place to search (39%), followed by 30% going to social media and 13% using. Google Maps. Either way, you\u2019ll want to give regular attention to your reputation across a range of channels. When a potential client Googles your business or searches on Facebook, your reviews will be staring them in the face.

First, you can set up Phorest\u2019s Online Reputation Manager to automatically request feedback from your clients after their appointment via email or SMS. Next, you can customize when they will be prompted to post their review to Google or Facebook. Most salons choose to ask a client to make their review public only if it is 4 or 5 stars. Thereby filtering out the negative feedback to be handled privately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There is inherent value in getting feedback from clients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing the five-star reviews roll in will feel great, trust us. But you are human. Your staff is human. So it is very likely, at some point, you\u2019ll have an off day, and someone will leave you a less-than-satisfactory review. Assuming the review isn\u2019t overly antagonistic, consider it an opportunity. Without honest feedback, how would you identify the areas you need to improve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a negative review is better than silent resentment. At least with a negative review, you open the door to productive conversation. By taking the initiative to hear and address their concerns, you can often turn a disappointed client into the most passionate advocate for your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cMy favourite feature is the client feedback. I was worried about negative reviews, but it has actually been a real area of growth for us. The first thing I do with a 3 star is I get them on the phone, and usually, it\u2019s something tiny to fix. And you turn that client who, maybe had been a little bit dissatisfied, to being a client who was wowed. And she\u2019s straight back in.\u201d<\/em><\/p><cite>Susan Roche, Owner of Newcastle Hair &amp; Beauty Clinic in Newcastle UK<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set Your Sights on the Client Experience Award for 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polishing your online presence is now key to your success as a business.
