Don’t we all want to know what people are saying about us? Well, it might not be possible to know that, but you sure can monitor what people are saying about your mobile app on the internet.
Reputation management is an extremely crucial aspect of app marketing. Knowing what people think about your app reputation or your brand across different forums is critical to understanding your position and taking steps to ensuring greater user satisfaction. You need to evaluate all your digital presences including your social media activity, PR, online content and of course, app stores. It is quite possible that while you work hard at creating and promoting quality content for your business, what shows up at the top when someone Googles your business, is an angry rant a user wrote about you in a personal blog. If that happens, you need to know. And you need to act.
