SiteJabber Disrupts Reputation Management With First Completely Free Platform for Businesses

Leading community of online business reviewers launches the only completely free reputation management platform for businesses. For the first time, businesses can take control of their online reputations at no cost to provide consumers with a fair, transparent picture of their business.

SAN FRANCISCO--()--SiteJabber, the leading community of online business reviewers, is disrupting the reputation management and review space with the public launch of SiteJabber for Business—the first completely free platform enabling businesses to take control of their online reputations and give consumers a fair, transparent picture of their business.

“Reputation management has traditionally been unfair to both businesses and consumers: businesses are forced to pay up to $100,000 per year to review platforms, while consumers cannot tell whether a business is good or simply has paid a lot of money to manage its reputation,” said Jeremy Gin, CEO of SiteJabber. “SiteJabber for Business is a direct response to businesses that want to manage their brands but – rightly – do not feel they should have to pay for it, and to consumers who rightly feel that they deserve the best possible information.”

Unlike other reputation management and review services, SiteJabber’s model does not charge businesses for any key reputation management features, which typically cost businesses anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $100,000 per year. SiteJabber is able to offer these services for free because it generates revenue through other channels: Google advertising, lead generation and dedicated customer support services.

Starting today, online businesses can access the following reputation management tools on SiteJabber free of charge:

  • Unlimited review collection: collect unlimited customer reviews to build online reputation, diminish the impact of negative reviews and generate new leads.
  • Unlimited public and private responses to reviews: directly resolve customer complaints and communicate with customers.
  • Review page at the top of Google search results: many prospective customers search for a business’ brand plus the words “reviews” or “complaints,” making it critical for businesses to actively manage a review page.
  • Trust seals and review widgets: recognized seals and widgets build trust and improve conversion rates on any business’ website.
  • 24-hour account support: 24-hour email support to resolve any issues or address reviews that may violate SiteJabber’s guidelines.
