“A good reputation for yourself and your company is an invaluable asset not reflected in the balance sheets.”
-Li Ka-Shing
Online Reputation Management or ORM, of your Hotel/Property, is the process of managing and maintaining the
public perception of a brand/business online. ORM can include responding to negative comments, gaining positive
reviews, and monitoring brand mentions of your Hotel/Property on various online websites.
A good reputation can help your business thrive, whereas a bad one can impact your business severely. Thus, it’s of
utmost importance that hotel owners have a mechanism in place to not only keep track of their online reputation
but develop strategies to optimize or maintain it.

What could be the impact of a poor online reputation of a Hotel/ Property?

Poor Sales Results
In today’s world, social media and online reviews can make or break a business. Negative reviews can hurt a
company’s reputation that will in turn reflect poorly on the hotel/property’s services and products.

This eventually impacts its revenue. Businesses with a
1 to 1.5-star rating on Google earned 33% less than the average business, according to a study by Womply
Research.
Breaks Customer Trust
A negative reputation can have a domino effect on businesses. It can start with one negative review, but if not
actioned timely, it can convert into many more negative reviews.

Word of mouth is a powerful social and marketing tool, and online reviews have the same potential — positive or
negative. A study by Bright Local found that 94% of consumers reported avoiding a business based on a negative
review. Moreover, 57% of consumers will only use a business if it has four or more-star ratings. And a single
additional star rating can increase revenue by 9%.

Loss of potential as well as existing customers
Negative online reputation not only changes the mind of potential customers from choosing a particular business
but it can also lead to the loss of existing customers.
It can make it difficult for hotel/property owners to attract new customers. Potential guests may be distrustful of
trying out the Hotel/Property because they fear it won’t meet their needs or expectations. This makes it harder to
attract new clients and increase sales.

Drive customers away
If a customer takes the time to write a negative review, they are clearly upset. If a Hotel/Property doesn’t respond
to this review, it could lose the customer for good and lose potential customers in the meantime. Nine out of 10
consumers use a review site before making a purchase at a business, according to review site Trustpilot’s study.

Poor employee retention and its impact on the business
One study found that the net impact of employee turnover and retention ultimately costs businesses as much as
$1 trillion dollars annually.
Poor employee retention affects an organization’s performance, productivity, culture, profitability, and customer
satisfaction in negative ways that could be detrimental to the success of business operations in the long run.

Lower Search Engine Ranking
Customers leaving bad reviews online is common, and a few bad reviews won’t have much effect on a company’s
search engine ranking. However, if there are several bad reviews and they are more prominent, it leaves a bad
impression on both potential customers and search engine results.

Google’s SEO guidelines want to place quality businesses at the top of search results, so multiple negative reviews
will drive down the rating.

Why can’t the Hotelier handle his/her own online Reputation?
And not everyone is tech-savvy which is why it is difficult to safeguard their online reputation. An expert in the field
takes a birds-eye view to manage the online reputation of your Hotel/Property.
