Background

Even though Bekins Moving Solutions provided great service, this was not reflected in review sites like Google. Moving is often a stressful experience. There was a very loud minority of angry reviewers who would often leave negative reviews for Bekins Moving Solutions. There would also be some reviewers who wrote a review for Bekins Moving Solutions but actually meant to leave their review for a completely different company. Both of these groups of people hurt Bekins’s online reputation.

Bekins Moving Solutions knew that they needed to fix this problem, especially since most customers discovered the company through organic Google search. That means the first thing that potential customers would see was reviews trashing the business. The company knew that they had an issue and turned to Birdeye for help.


Since working with Birdeye, Bekins Moving Solutions has seen the following key improvements:

  • 101% increase in reviews.
  • 681% increase in clicks to phone calls.
  • 1086% increase in map views.
  • 510% increase in web visits.
  • 409% increase in search views.
  • 515% increase in directions.
"It is a really good way to control your reputation and easily direct all customers to the appropriate review sites to leave their feedback. For a large company like ours, it makes it so easy to manage the entire experience process."

Improving online reputation

With Birdeye, Bekins Moving Solutions can send review requests via text to customers who have recently moved. Actively soliciting reviews allowed Bekins’s happy customers to leave their feedback. This has helped them create an online reputation that is more representative of their actual customer experiences. The company now has more than 600 reviews with a 4.1 overall star rating across all locations.

But that’s not all. The company is also able to respond to customer feedback easily. Location managers get an email from Birdeye every time they get a new review. All that the managers have to do is log on to the Birdeye dashboard to post a response.
