How To Get More 5-Star Reviews & Amplify Your School Brand

Why Your School Needs Reviews

Almost Everyone Reads Reviews

93% of U.S. consumers check online reviews so you can be sure that whenever someone is looking at a prospective new school, they’re checking online to see if the school has reviews and if the sentiment is a positive one overall. FYI, not having any reviews isn’t a good sign either.

Reviews For Schools Are Trusted

72% of consumers trust online reviews as much as recommendations from friends and family. When it comes to school reviews, that number goes even higher.

Reviews For Schools Are Influential

4 out of 5 consumers have reversed a purchase decision based on negative online reviews. Schools especially suffer when hit with negative reviews.

Good School Reviews Are Under-Represented

Unhappy customers tell an average of 24 people about their experience. Happy ones tell 15 people (usually after being prompted). Unsolicited reviews are typically negative so it makes sense for you to be proactive building your school’s online reputation.

Good Reviews Are Waiting to Happen

90% of typical U.S. consumers read online reviews yet only 6% write them. They’re just waiting for an easy way to do it!

6 Reasons Why Happy People Don’t Write Reviews

  1. “Writing reviews is too tedious”
  2. “I forgot to write the review”
  3. “I have no time”
  4. “No one asked me”
  5. “I didn’t even think about it”
  6. “I don’t know where to write the review”

How to Convert More Happy Customers Into Reviewers
