<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">3 Don'ts When Dealing With Online Reviews </span></h2>
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1449" src="https://seoleads.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/seo-25-300x200.jpg" alt="online reviews, seo" width="300" height="200" />
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Online reviews can be a scary concept. SEO companies often hold their breath when they see reviews coming in. Business professionals have to keep a calm manner and not reply immediately with anger if they see something they don't like. There are a few things that businesses should stray away from when they are looking through online reviews.</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Don't Blame the Customer</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When there are issues with service regarding SEO people want to play the blame game. Most of the time there is no villain in these situations. It is important to not blame the customer or reviewer. Some of them might be a little more difficult than others, but you can not lash out at them or make them feel inferior. This will result in more negative reviews by that person, or it may spread to other customers.</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Don't Refuse to Apologize</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">One of the worst traits an SEO professional or business can take on is the inability to apologize. Some of the most successful people are able to accept their mistakes and improve them. Unsuccessful business people refuse to apologize and build their stubborn attitudes. Often times they make situations into bigger issues than they have to be. Taking them time to say you're sorry and move on is one of the best things they can do. This will allow them to assess the issues before them and better evaluate their practices and business moving forward.</p>

<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Don't Accuse</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This is a very slippery slope. Negative SEO reviews are a glimpse into the business you are running from the eye of the consumer. It is rare that someone is out to get your business or bring you down. For the most part they are giving their opinions and possible offering suggestions on how to better service them. It is important to not accuse the customer of any wrong doing. This is even more important when it comes to legal matters. If you have no proof or are simply going on hearsay then it could be devastating to your business. Don't overreact in these situations with rude or angry customers. If something comes about in a legal fashion make sure you take it to someone that will handle it in a professional and legal manner instead of trying to sift through it yourself.</p>
