Power Online Reviews – Client Feedback Management Plugin For WordPress Users
Plugin Description
Power Online Reviews is a simple to install, easy-to-use plugin for WordPress users that allows you to manage your customer reviews, and give your online reputation a significant boost.
According to a study by eVoc Insights, a company that researches and measures user experience, 63% of users indicate they are more likely to purchase from a site if it has ratings and reviews.
Power Online Reviews encourages positive reviewers to add reviews to 3rd-party review sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor, Google Plus etc. Negative user experiences are captured on the website for immediate attention by the business owner.
This simple process can help to ensure the submission of more positive 3rd-party reviews and happier customers where the service has been below standard.
According to a study by professor Michael Luca of The Harvard Business School, “a one-star increase in Yelp ratings can lead to a 5-9% increase in revenue for the business”.

How It Works
Power Online Reviews automatically generates a review form for your site upon installation and activation.

The form is very simple for your customers to fill in. Users enter their name and email address (phone number is optional). The customer is then asked to rate your products using a one-click rating feature and submit their response.
What Happens When Users Submit Positive Feedback?

Bad User Rating
Negative ratings can have a serious impact on your business and need to be immediately addressed. (Screenshot sourced from Power Online Reviews )
When users submit a negative rating (e.g. ”2″), they are not sent to 3rd-party review sites.
Instead, the comments are saved on your admin backend, allowing you to respond directly to any dissatisfaction giving you a bad name in public.
