Client Relations & Reputation · Course 13 of 13

Your reviews are your storefront now.

Your Online Reputation

Before anyone books you, they check your reviews, and what they find decides whether they call. Yet most groomers barely ask for reviews, freeze when a negative one lands, and don't know what to do about a false one. Your online reputation is doing your marketing for you, for better or worse, and most groomers leave it to chance.

Why it matters

Maria rarely asked for reviews and panicked at negative ones. When she started asking at the right moment, responding to negatives calmly, and handling false ones properly, her rating climbed and her reviews started actively bringing in clients instead of scaring them off. (Illustrative example.)
