MyAreaNetwork was created to help people discover local restaurants, nightlife, things to do and more in their area.  While helping people find these things, helping local businesses connect with them is also of utmost importance to us.  In our efforts to help local businesses gain valuable reviews and insight from their customers, MyAreaNetwork is proud to announce a new partnership with OnKey Reviews. OnKey Reviews is a mobile review app for small and medium sized business owners which helps generate reviews for their business, manage their online reputation on various review websites, and internally market to their customers online. With these key functions, OnKey Reviews is an ideal partner for MyAreaNetwork which already promotes local businesses in the area markets like 813area (Tampa), 727area (St. Pete/Clearwater), 317area (Indianapolis) and more than 70 other cities throughout the U.S. The proprietary mobile review app provided by OnKey Reviews offers businesses an easy way to generate reviews from customers utilizing mobile devices.  There are 3 easy ways customers can access the mobile review app; scan a QR Code, text a keyword to a local number, or visit the unique URL provided to the business for their review app. By offering access to a mobile review app, businesses can capture the reviews while the customer is still at the business and the experience is fresh on their mind.  This also means the business is getting accurate reviews from people who are actually visiting their business instead of people online who might just review any business listed online. Also, the review app allows customers to sign up for future emails and texts from the business which will help the business with internal marketing.  This is great for the business to send announcements, specials, and other marketing materials to customers they know have been to their establishment and had a great experience.  Now you might ask, what happens if the customer didn't have a good experience and writes a bad review? Many people would think that a bad review is not a good thing.  The truth is, a bad review is great for a business because they are getting feedback from their customers as to how they can better their business.  A bad review is detrimental for a business if they don't do anything to their operation to fix the bad experience the customer had AND if the bad review gets posted all over the internet on sites where the business cannot control the review and/or have it removed. The OnKey Reviews mobile reviews app allows a business to filter the bad reviews from being posted to the internet and gives them the opportunity to contact the customer and see how they can help their bad experience and have the customer return for a positive experience.  This is a great way for the business to improve their operations without the bad publicity of a negative review online for future customers to read. The dashboard OnKey Reviews provides to the business also allows them to link their profiles on websites like Google+, Yelp, Yahoo!, Foursquare, and the many other review sites.  This allows them manage reviews posted on those sites so if they do get negative reviews, they can comment immediately and hopefully resolve the issue.  By linking these other profiles, the customers who fill out the review app can also post their review to these other sites. This proprietary mobile reviews app by OnKey Reviews offers small and medium size businesses similar technology used by big corporations to get inside feedback from customers.  The business can then use this information to improve operations, market internally, and have positive reviews posted across the internet.  There are many benefits to local businesses from the OnKey Reviews mobile app which is why MyAreaNetwork is partnering with them to offer this new, unique technology.
