Business Review via the Internet
When you are searching for a specific business whether one that is needed to perform work in your home or one that is going to perform a service for you or on that is selling something you may require, it is nice to have additional information available to you in the format of a business review. But just any business review is not what you need but instead you need a review of the business form someone whose opinion you trust. Or even a review from someone who has actually used that business before and has been happy with the service, products or performance. One place to get this type of review in on the internet.
Many businesses that sell whatever they to sell or offer services over the internet will have a section of their website devoted to testimonials from prior customers. One thing you have to consider when you read these testimonials is that generally someone will post a review if they are extremely happy with the service or extremely unhappy with the service or product. Generally if they are merely satisfied they will not post a review at all.
Also when someone is posting on a seller's website the seller who controls that website has the ability to delete or have first chance of reviewing that review and responding to it. If it is a somewhat negative review that is structured so that the seller can respond to it in a very constructive manner then they may allow the negative review to remain but add their comments which may make the reviewer look silly or may make the seller look like they are much better than the review. Many times people have personal idiosyncrasies that come into play when they review something so if it is just them, well then the review may serve its own purpose.
So when you are looking for a review of a business you will need to keep an open mind. If it is a local service such as a house cleaner then you can ask around and find out if anyone you know has used them before. A more effective way may be to inquire on a community website. There are many community websites on the internet that exist to get various people involved in that online community. As the online community evolves it may attract various levels of interest. If the website is devoted to a specific interest group such as crafters or quilters or travelers to Paris then as the community evolves over time online the people will get to know each other. As this happens they can ask has anyone used such and such a service that is generally related to the website interest.
If the online community is all about creating a local online community in a city or town then as it evolves within that community a business review section can be a potential powerful advertising tool for businesses to use to advertise their products and services online.
