7 Tips to Restore Your Social Media Reputation
Here
are seven tips to restore your social media reputation.
1.
Plan Your Restore Process
First
things first - don’t cause more damage by reacting in haste. Come up with a
plausible plan before taking the next step.
You
must aim to effectively engage with your customers and resolve the damage
without causing further harm to your online reputation.
2.
Accept Your Misstep
Most
of the time, acknowledging your misstep can restore your social media
reputation. When you do, be sincere and human. Avoid being too formal about it.
3.
Convert Negative Reviews into Your Advantage
If
you have an opportunity to resolve the issue publicly, then respond to your unhappy
customers online. Being transparent shows that you are a genuine business that
cares for customers and empathize with them.
If
the issue is too sensitive to address in public view, then take it offline by
engaging via email, private message, or direct phone call.
4.
Provide a Solution ASAP
We
agree that mistakes happen. When it does and customers raise issues, don’t be
in denial. Instead, communicate with
your customers and find a solution as quickly as possible. Doing so can restore
your social media reputation.
5.
Create More Content to Mask the Damage
One
intelligent tactic to rebuild your social media reputation is by creating even more
content so that the negative content is pushed out from the top slots of Google
SERPs. This tactic needs patience, since it may take some time for restoration.
6.
Revisit Your Business Operations
When you see a pattern to the damage then you need to look into your business processes. Look for the root cause of the negative reputation and make things right.
7.
Invest in Social Media Listening Tools
Social
media monitoring tools are often worth the investment, since they help to monitor
your dealership’s reputation and track customer sentiment as well.
