Power Online Reviews – Customer Feedback Management Plugin For WordPress
Plugin Description
Power Online Reviews is a simple to install, easy-to-use WordPress plugin that 3rd-party review sites, and give your online reputation a 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 will ensure that positive reviewers are prompted to add reviews to third-party review sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor, Google Plus etc. Negative user experiences are filtered on the website for immediate attention by the business owner.
This simple process ensures more 3rd-party reviews that are positive and improves customer experience where the service has fallen down.
According to research by Harvard Business School professor Michael Luca, “a one-star increase in Yelp ratings can lead to a 5-9% increase in business revenue”.

Poor User Rating
Poor ratings can have a serious impact on your business if issues are not addressed immediately. (Screenshot: Power Online Reviews )
Customers who submit poor ratings (e.g. ”1”, “2”, or even “3”) are not sent to third-party review sites.
Instead, the customer reviews are saved locally, giving you the opportunity to contact the customer giving you a bad name in public.
