Consumer Decisions and Healthcare: Why Reviews Matter

Consumer Decisions and Healthcare: Why Reviews Matter

With the world becoming increasingly more digital, having an online presence is essential for any businesses, but it is especially important in senior living. There is no doubt that online ratings and reviews are leading factors in guiding decisions, and the importance of gathering and responding to visitor feedback has increased drastically.


The Impact of Ratings on Decision-Making

Online ratings have a significant impact on decision-making in the healthcare industry, and this includes the selection of senior living communities for residents. Brightlocal’s Customer Review Survey 2023 revealed 87% of customers used Google to evaluate local businesses in 2022, and 80% of people said that reviews for care service businesses were “important” or “very important” for their decision-making. Because of this, it is critical for your community to actively collect, manage, and respond to visitor feedback to maintain a strong reputation and build trust with potential consumers. Our solution is proven to help!
