Power Online Reviews – Easy User Feedback Management Plugin For WordPress
Power Online Reviews – Plugin Description
Power Online Reviews is a simple to install WordPress plugin that 3rd-party review sites, and give your online reputation a 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 ensures that positive reviewers are prompted to add reviews to third-party review sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor, Google Plus etc. Bad reviews are sent directly to your business website back-end for immediate attention by the business owner.
This process can help to ensure the submission of more positive 3rd-party reviews and improves user satisfaction where the service has been below par.
According to research by professor Michael Luca of The Harvard Business School, “a one-star increase in Yelp ratings leads to a 5-9% increase in revenue for the business”.

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). The customer is then asked to provide a rating of your products and services.
Positive Customer Rating

Bad Customer Ratings
Negative feedback can have a serious impact on your business if issues are not addressed immediately. (Product screenshot: Power Online Reviews )
When users submit poor feedback (e.g. ”1”, “2”, or “3”), they are not sent to 3rd-party review sites.
Instead, the comments are saved locally, giving you the opportunity to engage with the customer giving you a bad name in public.
