It’s a common practice for clients to write reviews on your website, as feedback for all the good work that you have done. However, they sometimes come from not-so-happy clients too. You can try your best efforts in delivering what the client has asked for but sometimes things can go wrong and the client can end up leaving on a bad note, literally! So, what do you do? Until now you couldn’t do much about it but learn from your mistakes and make sure you put in more efforts in the next project. However, there might be things you want to say, right?
Well, now you can! With HubSpot’s new “reply” feature, you can leave a reply to all those unhappy reviews in a timely and strategic way.

Some Tips for Replying to Client Reviews:
- If it’s a positive review, acknowledge them by their name, show gratitude, and leave extra value for them to consider in the future
- If it’s a negative review, internalise the feedback first and discuss with your team, empathise with them and offer the most suitable solutions that could give them a better experience
