New innovative Plug-in to amplify business success by aggregating multiple review sources
Every Estate and Letting agent relies upon reviews and testimonials to win new business, but having put in the hard work to get them, a large number of them go hidden. VerifyTrusted addressed this today by officially launching its powerful new plug-in designed to help businesses leverage value from their existing reviews at super low cost and zero effort.
Unlike other review platforms, this simple yet robust solution aggregates reviews from various sources, empowering businesses to enhance their credibility and boost their success. By searching out and finding all reviews and shining a spotlight on them. Working on autopilot, VerifyTrusted’s solution addresses the critical need for businesses to effectively manage and showcase customer feedback from multiple review sources such as Google, Allagents, Facebook and many more.
As Ian Dobrin co-founder explains,
‘Agent’s new business comes from reputation, often when VerifyTrusted gets a new agent as a client they may have 50 reviews, using our software we find they actually have another 50 genuine reviews that they were unaware of, sometimes many more, just think how that powers their position in their local marketplace – they have put in the effort we make sure everyone knows how good they are.’
Jet Chohan co-founder adds, ‘VerifyTrusted is an Agent’s Beacon of Excellence.’
‘Estate Agents and Lettings Agents are brilliant at selling and letting property, but are too busy or just do not understand how to drive new business digitally. Which costs them as it is where the public now searches, that is why VerifyTrusted has a Unified Review Reputation Page. It combines reviews from multiple sources into a single, easy-to-navigate platform, simplifying management and response efforts.’
Ian Dobrin further comments, why reviews really matter, backing this up with some industry statistics,
