Your small business is built for customer interaction. However, even your best attempts to provide quality service to your customers will not please everyone. So what do you do if you have a bad review posted on a website?

There are several actions you can take if your online reputation is in danger.

1. Ignore It.
   If the customer has gone to the trouble of posting a negative review, chances are they are a passionate person, so if you try and contact them they might not respond the way you’d hope they would. So your first option is to just leave it alone.
2. Confront It.
   On the other hand, a customer may have posted a negative review simply to let others know about their experience. So if you contact them directly and offer to correct the problem chances are they will be willing to replace their review with a updated review. In most cases review sites will allow for the reviewers to update their comments.
3. Get Help.
   It may be that the problem is too large or has gotten out of hand. In that case you will want to contact an online reputation management company (try this one) to help solve your issue. With the right tools, you’d be surprised how fast a professional online marketing company is able to track down and address the situation.
