Since 2006 NoCowboys has given Kiwi consumers the essential information they desire before contacting businesses and at the same time we have been instrumental in helping thousands of New Zealand businesses grow and substantially increase their customer bases. The driving force behind all of that are our authenticated reviews because NoCowboys is a multi-faceted online review platform.
It’s important to stress the review element in all of this because without it we would just be another online directory that doesn’t provide much information about businesses, aside from contact details, a short bio and the odd image of old work. Reviews are the fundamental reason Kiwis rely on our website and consult it before even considering contacting a business.
But more than that, our platform means that businesses appear in Google searches with their gold stars shining, visible, and available. Since we started, we have evolved into much more than just a website and in saying that, our website has been remade, reconfigured, and continually fine tuned so that it delivers desired information in the most effective manner. We have made trust our core principle because we fully understand just how much New Zealanders rely on the authenticated reviews that we publish.
Businesses that prosper utilising our service do one thing and they do it consistently – accrue reviews from their customers. Not only do they benefit from committing to the transparency and honesty that comes from putting their reputations on the line, online, but they benefit from Google presence that directs new customers toward them. They do this at a fraction of the price that they may pay for Google Adwords and they market the one thing that consumers value the most – reviews!
You can pay thousands of dollars a year to hopefully come up in keyword searches but all you are directing people to is a website where you talk about yourself. On the other hand – your business coming up in searches with reviews clearly visible ensures the connection that consumers are looking for and does a far superior job of selling your business. Your past customers’ experiences and opinions of your services and products promote you exceedingly better.
Those reviews are also a tangible and communicable expression of a businesses’ worth and dependability when quoting for work. Price is not everything but trust is. Having a bank of authenticated reviews that you can point a prospective customer to says that you value your reputation, it is visible, and it will push quotes over the line.
All of these benefits, and more, are reliable on commitment and routine – commitment to reviews and the routine of asking for them. Having been involved in online reputation marketing for a number of years I can say two things with authority – businesses that build their reviews and ensure they are recent do exceedingly well and cut other advertising and marketing expenditure – those who do not accrue reviews do not realise those benefits.
There is no secret recipe, there is no trick, there is nothing more than obtaining reviews on a review platform.
