At this stage, travelers become your guests. It is, in fact, the only offline part of the customer journey. However, even here there is a strong connection to online.

Your customers should stay impressed and be willing to share their positive experiences on social media and review sites.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have any presence on social media or review sites, be sure that people are talking about you. The best way you can influence and control it is by having and taking care of your page on Facebook or Twitter and\/or your business listing on Google, TripAdvisor, or yelp. When your guests are still on your property, you can introduce them to your social media presence and encourage them to post pictures or write a review. More positive content online will help your hotel build your brand and result in more bookings in the future.<\/p>\n

For hotels, online reviews<\/strong> serve as an operational tool to measure guest satisfaction<\/strong> and a marketing tool to promote your property and build demand<\/strong>. What can be worse than having negative reviews? It\u2019s having no reviews at all. Travelers are hesitant to book a hotel with few or no reviews. So be proactive in getting online reviews \u2013 ask for them.<\/p>\n

As per BrightLocal survey<\/a>, 7 out of 10 consumers will leave a review<\/strong> for a business if they’re asked to.<\/p>\n

Our research shows that people are more inclined to write reviews when they had either a very poor or an exceptionally good experience. So, you need to make sure that you give your guests experience worth raving about. Then it\u2019ll be easy to ask them to publish a review afterward.<\/p>\n

Positive reviews improve the general buzz around your hotel and help you gain control of the search results for your business, meaning the main message that customers see when they search for it.

As per TripAdvisor study<\/a>, another factor that drives traveler engagement next to the number of reviews is responding to them. 77% of TripAdvisor travelers are more likely to book a property that leaves personalized responses to online reviews.\u00a0On the other hand, if travelers don\u2019t see you are interacting with guests online, they won\u2019t see you as a business that cares about its customers.<\/p>\n

One of the classic mistakes<\/strong> hotels make when monitoring online reviews is not looking for patterns<\/strong>. Often there are similarities in customer feedback and it\u2019s possible to see a trend. Review sites like yelp highlight words or phrases that are often repeated in reviews. On Google, hotels have review snippets which are summaries of the most common feedback falling into the categories \u201cRooms\u201d, \u201cLocation\u201d, and \u201cService & Facilities\u201d.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to notice patterns in your online reviews is to use a tracking system<\/strong> that records and analyzes important data from customer feedback. Here is how you can search for patterns in re:spondelligent app<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The filtering option of our tool allows you to see commonalities in the reviews giving you a deeper insight into what customers think about your business. Once the problem is identified, it is easier to react and solve it.<\/p>\n

SEO<\/h2>\n

According to a recent Google blog post<\/a>, a hotel\u2019s ranking<\/strong> on Local Search and Maps depends on Google review count and score<\/strong>. So, more reviews and positive ratings increase your business\u2019s visibility and improve the local ranking.<\/p>\n

This is true not only for reviews on Google Business Profile but generally for social media and review sites. When customers share their positive feedback about your hotel online, search engines recognize that you are doing something right. As a result, your search engine ranking increases and it is easier for new customers to find your business.<\/p>\n

Managing your hotel\u2019s online reputation using SEO basically comes down to the following:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”16px” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create positive content<\/strong> by actively asking your customers to review your hotel. Pushing for relevant, authentic, positive content will result in negative content to appear lower in search results. Respond to customer feedback whether negative or positive; this shows that customer service is the top priority for you.<\/li>\n
  2. Be active on social networks<\/strong>, they have significant SEO power \u2013 content posted on these channels immediately get high ranking in search results. Link back to your hotel\u2019s site in order to improve your website\u2019s search relevancy and control what travelers see when searching for your hotel\u2019s name.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Compared to review sites such as TripAdvisor, social networking sites are often crowded and inefficient to track customer feedback. However, social media is a powerful channel and can\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n

    First of all, it is used by many travelers as a customer service platform<\/strong> where inquiries and complaints can be made. A fast response is expected. Second, social media gives a great possibility to communicate and engage with your customers<\/strong>. Social networks can be used to post news and promotions and tell stories. Hotels are an unlimited resource of stories and they should be shared with the current customers to build loyalty and attract new customers.<\/p>\n

    As we discussed above, the inspiration and research parts of customer journey increasingly shift online; staying relevant and original on social media has never been more important. The more interesting the content you generate, the more memorable it will be for travelers and the greater traffic it will drive to your site.<\/p>\n

    When telling a story, don\u2019t limit yourself by lists of features and benefits. Be creative and try to form an emotional connection with your customers.<\/strong> What works extremely well on social media sites are images and videos. They are entertaining and draw attention to your hotel.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”16px” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_tablet=”” header_font_phone=”” header_font_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    In order to excel in hotel reputation management, hotels should monitor online customer feedback and integrate it into their daily operations<\/strong>. It is not enough just to track and respond to online reviews, it\u2019s crucial to analyze them, define insights, and take action.<\/p>\n

    Customer feedback should be shared with the staff, it is important to take ownership of problems and work as a team to resolve them. Use online reviews to guide staff training, empower, and motivate your team by keeping them informed and rewarding their achievements.<\/p>\n
