It should be able to manage feedback across multiple ecommerce resources, integrate message scheduling, contain various review filters, request feedback via email, and provide access to social networks. Moreover, your e-store visitors should enjoy the ability to add both comments and photos, rate products assessing them with a certain number of stars, and gauge not only the products but their features as well.

The following tools tick all these boxes, so make your choice.

Being available in 80+ countries this tool functions as an app. As soon as you install it, the Google Customer Reviews badge is displayed on every page of your e-store. Then, clients who ordered something from you are sent a survey request. Customers receive it within 7 days after the delivery date they have entered. It is up to them to choose or decline the request but if they are satisfied with the purchase they are more likely to submit a review.

2. Yelp

Initially honed to gather reviews about restaurants and other local businesses, Yelp focuses on getting detailed information from customers and offers them long-form reviews for submission. The instruments that Yelp provides enable e-businesses not only to collect and respond to reviews but monitor visitor engagement as well. To make use of them, your company should have an active Yelp business page. Once you launch it, your website can add a request review badge on its pages or send a link to the customers in a newsletter.

3. TrustPilot

This is a very popular tool that promotes trust in companies' relationships with their clients. If your ecommerce site integrates it, you will be able to ask customers who have just made a purchase for feedback through email. Tracking reviews and response options are also included in the package. Since reviews are automatically sent to search engines, your SEO indexing is sure to soar.

4. Foursquare

In fact, it is not a specialized review tool but a networking service that is available for free download as an app on smartphones with any operating system. Its overarching purpose is to inform your friends about businesses, attractions, and locations you have checked in at. Users can share their impressions in the form of reviews or read the feedback of others, which promotes awareness and lets people decide whether a location is worth visiting.
