Google Local Reviews

Owners can now respond to reviews on Google Places!

Google has made a significant change to their Google Places service. This is a fantastic leap forward which will hopefully stop “other businesses” placing bad reviews on Google – it gives local businesses a chance to answer back – I know of several people with bad reviews that are so obviously from their competition – nasty deeds!

They are now allowing owners to respond to comments made on their official Places listing.

This would require you to be the person who verified the business/destination on the Google Places service.

From Google:

• Starting today, if you’re a verified Google Places business owner, you can publicly respond to reviews written by Google Maps users on the Place Page for your business. Engaging with the people who have shared their thoughts about your business is a great way to get to know your customers and find out more. Both positive and negative feedback can be good for your business and help it grow (even though it’s sometimes hard to hear). By responding, you can build stronger relationships with existing and prospective customers.
