Power Online Reviews – User Reviews Management Plugin For WordPress Users
Power Online Reviews – Plugin Description
Power Online Reviews is a simple to install, easy-to-use plugin for WordPress users that allows you to manage customer reviews, and give your business a significant boost.
According to a study by eVoc Insights, a company known for researching and measuring user experience, 63% of users indicate they are more likely to purchase from a site if it has ratings and reviews.
Power Online Reviews will ensure that positive reviewers are prompted to add reviews to 3rd-party review sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor, Yell.com etc. Negative user experiences are retained on the website for immediate attention by the business owner.
This simple process ensures more third-party reviews that are positive and happier customers where the service has been below par.
According to a study by Michael Luca, a professor at The Harvard Business School, “a one-star increase in Yelp ratings leads to a 5-9% increase in business revenue”.

Power Online Reviews – How It Works
Upon installation and activation, the plugin automatically generates a review form for your site.

The form is very simple for visitors and customers to fill in. All that is required is their name and email address (phone number is optional). Users are then asked to provide a rating of your services and products.
Good User Ratings
Customers rate your business with a simple 5-star system. (Source: plugin website)
When users submit a positive rating (e.g. “4″), they are then invited to add a review to one or more third-party review sites …
Visitors who leave good ratings are invited to leave a review on a third-party review site. (Source: plugin website)
Clicking on the icon or logo takes your customer to the 3rd-party review site where they can then leave a positive review …

Poor Customer Rating
Negative ratings can have a serious impact on your business and need to be immediately addressed. (Source: plugin website)
When users submit a negative rating, they are not sent to third-party review sites.
Instead, the user review is saved in your admin backend, giving you the option to engage with the user and also avoiding them venting or posting damaging remarks on Facebook, social media sites, or other third-party review sites.
