Uberall announced a partnership with Trustpilot to make it easier for users to access, manage, and respond to online reviews, as part of their local marketing strategy.
This morning, location marketing platform Uberall announced a partnership with independent review platform Trustpilot.
Now, customers will be able to manage and respond to Trustpilot reviews directly from Uberall.
Uberall’s location marketing platform allows users to manage online store listings across Google, Instagram, Facebook, Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc., all in one dashboard. Their customers include PwC, KFC, Virgin, BP, Pizza Hut, Lufthansa, and many others.
Trustpilot is a review platform with reportedly more than one million reviews posted per month.
Following the rise of social media, customers are increasingly looking for more direct and immediate interaction with brands.
If a consumer is considering buying a product and has a question, she wants to be able to get an answer asap. And if she can’t get an answer, she may take her business elsewhere.
On this partnership, Peter Simpson, Global Head of Partnerships at Trustpilot, said:
“Eighty-six percent of consumers are more likely to shop at a store that responds to reviews. How you reply and how quickly you post responses is critical for positive online reputation and has significant influence on local search rankings. With that in mind, as our multi-location customer base has exploded, we wanted to broaden our review management ecosystem to make it even easier to evaluate, analyze and reply to consumer feedback from one centralized location.”

For brands, these two factors mean paying extra attention to how they appear online. Answering reviews in a timely manner is one important piece of that puzzle.
