5StarControl Announces Relaunch of Site And Warns Small Businesses
Port Orange, Florida (PRWEB) August 06, 2013 -- Recently, a video went viral on the unsanitary practices taking place at Golden Corral restaurant in Florida. On July 8th, video taken from an employee's cell phone behind a Golden Corral restaurant showed uncooked meat sitting outside by the dumpsters while the restaurant was being inspected inside.The employee is quoted saying "Right now we're currently undergoing an inspection. I'm walking around the building; I just left the front door. I'm walking up to the dumpster. Apparently what my company likes to do to get ready for inspections is put their food by the dumpsters." In today's world small businesses need to be on top of their online reputation. They need a defense against that one angry employee or customer who could destroy their reputation with one video or one bad review.
5StarControl recommends having a strong Yelp following as one way to solve this problem. Yelp has millions of visitors a month looking for the best local businesses. These customers provide highly rated Yelp businesses with a constant flow of new clientele. A study by Harvard Business School found that on Yelp "Every star in a review leads to a 5 – 9 % jump in revenue." 5StarsControl editor- a local small business owner herself- is quoted saying "Since I start putting my attention on getting great reviews on Yelp my business has tripled. I am now less worried about one bad review or a PR hiccup destroying my business because I have so many great 5 Star reviews."
5StarControl is a newsletter about small business issues in the area of Yelp reviews.
