After running the largest business review platform in our area for many years, we saw all the harsh challenges that businesses faced when dealing with customer reviews. It's human nature to complain and leave a bad review, but unfortunately, good review opportunities are often missed and/or overlooked by most happy satisfied customers due to busy lifestyle obligations and time constraints. That's why we feel a small incentive for their time, such as a sweepstakes ticket or a loyalty discount can go a long way to motivate a truly happy customer to share their experience with others.

Not to mention .. With so many reputation marketing companies charging a small fortune every month for an unethical practice that is now illegal, we felt it was high time to present a far better legal strategy to let your satisfied customers do the talking for you.

Besides, we fully understand why many customer-oriented businesses needed someone on their side for a change.

BestAround launched very recently, but there are only a limited number of spots set aside during our initial launch phase while we are building out the new affiliate-driven marketplace. Once these spots are taken, the special launch rates will be updated without further notice. Our recommendation is to lock-in at these incredibly low rates today, in order to avoid missing out.

BestAround was built with LOCAL search in mind and boosts local businesses ahead of non-local competitors. Coming soon, we will also feature local city pages and editions of BestAround that cater to each area.

Our Trust Badge is standard JavaScript/HTML that will not slow down your site and will work with the vast majority of website software. Wherever you want the badge to appear, just copy/paste the code to that part of your site. We recommend placing it in the sidebar or footer on each page where you want extra social-proof.

Displaying Google Reviews is fine, except that you do not have the ability to approve or disapprove which reviews are shown.

For example, if your competitor's brother-in-law leaves an unfair/untrue scathing bad review airing dirty laundry, it might appear on your website when you least expect it.

This is why we felt it 100% necessary to create a more business-friendly platform to collect and display endorsed testimonials, instead of reviews.

NOTE: If you are using any third-party software to filter Google reviews (e.g. 4/5-stars only), then you would be doing so in direct violation of Google's API Terms of Service .. another reason our service stands out above the rest.

Our sweepstakes is called "RaffleBall", an instant-win game similar to Vegas-style Keno which, unlike traditional raffles, allows the user to find out if they won immediately instead of waiting for a distant future raffle drawing.

It can also award them more chances if they are lucky to pick a match. We administer the sweepstakes for you and pay for the prizes to help you attract more testimonials for your listing, for your website, and potentially even for other platforms. The prizes are subject to change at any time.

If you haven't yet played RaffleBall .. As a courtesy, we've taken the liberty to treat you to a few complimentary tickets to try out the "Play Sweepstakes" option, to see how RaffleBall works and view the current prize lineup. Try it out .. you can actually win a prize today.

Most all of them. Simply specify the website address of your review page in settings, and Reputation Rocket will direct users to copy their testimonial to your chosen review page that matters most to your business.

At this point we are testing this out as an exclusive bonus for Charter Listings only, because it is a service offered by a subcontractor.

If all goes well, we (or they) may offer it separately at a later date.
