Word-of-Mouth Marketing

Word-of-mouth marketing, in the context of online reputation management, refers to the organic sharing of positive experiences, recommendations, or endorsements about a brand, product, or service by satisfied customers through digital channels. It harnesses the power of genuine customer satisfaction to spread favorable sentiment and build trust in a brand’s online presence.

It leverages the power of customer satisfaction and loyalty to spread positive sentiment about a brand online, helping to build and maintain a favorable reputation. Word-of-mouth marketing is highly effective because it is perceived as authentic, trustworthy, and credible, as it originates from real customers rather than the brand itself. This form of marketing carries significant weight in shaping online perception and influencing potential customers’ decisions to engage with a brand.
