How to recover from bad social media comments and reviews

With the age of social media, it is now easier than ever to fall victim to bad social media reviews and comments that have a negative effect on your business. Nowadays, many people use the internet and particularly social media to find companies that offer the products or service they need and to get feedback from others on what they are like. Regardless of whether or not you have a presence on the social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, you can still find that you have customers who are not happy and have no issue voicing this for thousands to see online.

All companies will get an unhappy customer or complaint at some point, but it is how you deal with it that makes a difference. If you find a bad comment that has been left about your business online it is important to address it. You may want to message the person privately to discuss the issue but it is also worth commenting on their post to say that you are very sorry to hear they are not happy and have messaged them to discuss it in more detail. This shows other people who may read the comment that you have accepted someone is not happy and are trying to sort out the issue.
