Why Getting Recommended Beats Getting Reviewed

A Star Rating Fades. A Personal Recommendation Travels.

You already have reviews. Maybe on Google. Maybe on Facebook. Maybe Yelp.

So why do you need recommendations too?

Because they are not the same thing at all.

What a review actually is

A review is a snapshot. One person, one visit, one opinion. It captures a moment in time. It may or may not reflect your business as it exists today.

It is also anonymous. You usually have no idea who wrote it, what their standards are, or whether their experience is typical of most people who visit you.

And it is static. Once written, it sits there. A bad review from three years ago is still a bad review today, even if everything has changed since then.

What a Recommendationship actually is

A Recommendationship is an ongoing, active endorsement from a real, named person who knows your business and has chosen to put their name behind it publicly.

It is not a snapshot. It is a standing commitment. As long as the Recommendationship is active, that person is saying: right now, today, I recommend this business.

And unlike a review, you know exactly who is saying it.

A review says "I had a good experience here."
A Recommendationship says "I send my clients here. I stand behind them. My name is on it."
One of these is much harder to fake.

The trust that travels

When a RECOMMENDer recommends your business, their clients do not just get information. They get permission to trust you.

They already trust their barber or their personal trainer or their accountant. When that person says "I recommend this business," the trust transfers. The client arrives at your door already warm.

That is a completely different kind of lead than someone who found you through a search engine. They did not just find you. They were sent to you by someone they trust.

You choose who recommends you

On RECOMMENDii, you have full control over who represents your business. You can accept or decline any Recommendationship request. You can end any Recommendationship that no longer feels right.

That control matters. The RECOMMENDers on your page reflect on your business. You should have a say in who they are.

Analytics that show you what is working

RECOMMENDii shows you exactly how people are finding your page and what they do when they get there. You can see which RECOMMENDers are sending visitors, how many people clicked your website or called your phone number, and where your traffic is coming from.

That is information that helps you understand the real value of each Recommendationship and make better decisions about who you want on your page.
