It\u2019s important now more than ever to increase positive online restaurant reviews.<\/p>\n<p>With the popularity of sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor, collecting that info is easier than ever and online reviews are now playing a major role in determining whether or not new customers will find their way to your tables.<\/p>\n<p>In order to maintain your restaurant\u2019s stellar reputation and attract new customers, you\u2019ll need to focus a fair amount of your branding and marketing attention on increasing positive online reviews.<\/p>\n<h4>How to increase positive online restaurant reviews in 6 steps<\/h4>\n<p>Follow these tips on how to increase positive online restaurant reviews and watch both the glowing feedback and the customers roll in.<\/p>\n<h5>1. Invite your regulars to review<\/h5>\n<p>If you have a solid base of regular customers who love your business and with whom you\u2019ve already developed an established relationship, you can reach out to them and invite them to leave a positive review online. It\u2019s best to do this in person, at the end of a particularly exceptional dining experience.<\/p>\n<p>Customers who you\u2019ve spent time building a positive relationship with will want your business to succeed and online reviews are a simple extension of the word-of-mouth praise they\u2019re likely already giving you. Likely your regulars will be keen to spread the word about one of their favourite establishments so don\u2019t underestimate the power of a polite and gentle suggestion.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-46 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/coffeeonpointpv.com\/?attachment_id=38'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/coffeeonpointpv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/blog-inner1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/coffeeonpointpv.com\/?attachment_id=39'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/coffeeonpointpv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/blog-inner2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h5>2. Build relationships with your clientele<\/h5>\n<p>What if you\u2019re a new business that doesn\u2019t have established relationships with regulars? Well then it\u2019s time to start building that loyal customer base. Take note of the guests who make a point to complement the owner or manager at the end of the meal as well as the guests who return more than once.<\/p>\n<p>Having an up-to-date guestbook with client profiles is a great first step in keeping track of your budding regulars. Once you\u2019ve determined your biggest potential fans, make a point to develop a relationship with them as the owner and encourage your managers to do the same. Once in a while, send them a little digestif or appetizer on the house to show how much you appreciate their business.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve built relationships, you can invite those new regulars to support your business online, again with that gentle power of suggestion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than ever, customers are relying on online reviews to help them figure out where to eat.
