Check the basics customers rely on

Review your business name, hours, contact information and service details across your website and local profiles. Establish who can make updates and who responds to customer feedback. Small inaccuracies can create avoidable frustration before a customer ever speaks with you.

02

Give reputation work a clear boundary

Ask for a workflow for monitoring feedback, drafting responses and escalating complaints. Require honest communication and avoid fake reviews or promises to remove every negative comment. The project should explain how feedback reaches the person who can fix the underlying service issue.

Improve the system underneath

Operations work can map enquiries, handoffs, approvals and recurring tasks. Start with one bottleneck and define an owner for each action. Ask for documentation your team can follow and a practical handover. Connect the changes to observable results, such as fewer missed enquiries or a clearer response process.
