Online Reputation Management not limited to after guests leave hotel.

Hotel and tourism companies need to look at how they fundamentally think about their online reputation management, according to ReviewPro's CEO RJ Friedlander.

The Barcelona-based company, which is exhibiting at the ITB Convention in Berlin, said that feedback reviews are now able to be conducted while guests are still on site, meaning that any issues can be dealt with more expediently.

Friedlander said, “What used to be ORM is now how a business can improve itself. It's remorphed itself into how to measure what you're doing and benchmarking. We can now help clients get down to a granular level, and see where and how they can focus resources to improve on an operational level.”

He added, “It's helping them to know in real-time what problems have surfaced and getting it to the right person so they can act on it.”

Friedlander says the company now has accounts with 26,000 hotels in 150 countries, including 31 hotels in the Jurys Inn chain. When ReviewPro began working with the chain, the ratings of its hotels on TripAdvisor were 3.5 to 4.0. At the time of writing, Friedlander says, ratings for 28 of the 31 hotels have risen above 4.0.

“It's because,” Friedlander said, “they were effectively able to listen and measure more precisely the details on an operational and service level, they were able to identify the failures and find the opportunities where to leave guests more satisfied.”
