You have to actually <em>be\u00a0<\/em>the best. The perfect way to achieve this? It\u2019s by offering the best tools, the best resources, and the best education for your clients.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody likes a business that\u2019s all-show-and-no-go. SmartBrief explored the concept of \u201cbrand humility\u201d <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartbrief.com\/original\/2018\/10\/how-brand-humility-can-help-drive-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in this interesting article<\/a><\/u>. According to the article\u2019s author, Kevin Lund, \u201cblatant product plugging doesn\u2019t work like it used to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To get a fanbase, brand loyalty, and to travel the right path to be the best, businesses need to stop thinking they have all the answers the consumer is looking for, and start asking the right questions. It\u2019s time to let go of the ego, give up their \u201cid\u201d \u2013\u00a0and work towards getting to know the audience vs. selling the business\u2019 greatness. Again, humility is key.<\/p>\n<h3>Today, let\u2019s explore four ways to grow a business with humility:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Teach.<\/strong> Providing useful information to customers or potential clients is valuable and adds positive brand recognition for any business. Avoid including a sales pitch in every piece of content that\u2019s put out. Not everything is about the product\u2019s grandness (even if it is grand indeed!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go for great stories.<\/strong> Educational articles about water damage restoration are sound, and will get visits to a business\u2019 website, but nothing will steal a potential customer\u2019s heart more than the right story. The business should take a realistic and approachable angle that results in a connection with the audience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask questions.<\/strong> There is no better feedback than that received from a business\u2019 actual customers and clients. Do they like everything they see, or would they prefer a different experience? Their opinions matter more than we care to admit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go through with changes.<\/strong> If a business asks clients for their input but then nothing changes, customers will likely lose trust. It\u2019s extremely important that businesses implement the feedback received to the fullest extent possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Going through with changes is particularly important, as it goes to the heart of a customer\u2019s trust in a business. People like to be heard. Customers who see their feedback implemented will feel valued by the brand that they care for. The\u00a0positive sentiment that develops will result not only in continued brand loyalty, but also in trust.<\/p>\n<h2>Speaking of Trust&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>Sounds like Yelp could benefit from reading our weekly newsletters. The review giant is once again enmeshed in a legal battle over negative reviews. Newsflash: reviews can make or break a business. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/google-puts-reviews-spotlight\/?utm_source=Blog_Internal_Link&#038;utm_medium=Email_Oct_26_2018&#038;utm_campaign=Blog_Internal_Link&#038;utm_content=google_reviews_spotlight\">2 out of 3 customers say having positive reviews about a business or product is an important factor when making buying decisions<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Here we go: California attorney Dawn Hassell is <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediapost.com\/publications\/article\/326975\/battle-over-negative-reviews-on-yelp-could-go-to-s.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suing Yelp over removing bad reviews<\/a><\/u>\u00a0of her professional services. The suit has already been through several rounds, and has now made its way to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>This case could change the way we live our lives online. If Yelp is forced to remove negative reviews and posts, as Hassell intends, how would customers make accurate decisions on purchases of products or services? Such a decision could set us back years, and likely result in unsatisfied customers who\u2019d no longer trust the review system \u2013 along with businesses they\u2019re not familiar with!<\/p>\n<p>Now more than ever, it\u2019s essential that businesses work on building brand loyalty. If the reviews system goes down, word-of-mouth from pleased customers will be the only way of getting new business.<\/p>\n<h2>Meanwhile, Voice Search Keeps Growing<\/h2>\n<p>Since there\u2019s no official ruling on Yelp\u2019s legal battle yet, let\u2019s talk about something that\u2019s more important \u2013 and exciting \u2013 at this moment. You know I\u2019m talking about <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/voice-search-what-you-need-to-know\/?utm_source=Blog_Internal_Link&#038;utm_medium=Email_Oct_26_2018&#038;utm_campaign=Blog_Internal_Link&#038;utm_content=voice_search_need_to_knows\">voice search<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Voice search is definitely gaining more traction, even though <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediapost.com\/publications\/article\/326829\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">privacy seems to be a big issue with consumers<\/a><\/u>. At a recent event in New York, Microsoft\u2019s Head of Evangelism for Search discussed how they\u2019re not advertising in voice search yet because consumers don\u2019t trust it.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, we have technology giants Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft working hard to earn consumer trust. Voice search is so powerful and useful, especially on-the-go, that users\u2019 brand loyalty to these giants will eventually turn into trust in voice search \u2013\u00a0as long as they can stay humble. <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrum.com\/news\/2018\/10\/22\/siri-what-will-advertising-voice-looksound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ads will become an industry standard soon after<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<h2>Something Else to Keep Us Busy<\/h2>\n<p>While privacy and trust issues with voice search are being resolved, hang on, because <u><a href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/marketing\/retailers-ready-visual-search-sits-brink-breakthrough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visual search is coming at us full speed<\/a><\/u>.

Even though it hasn\u2019t seen a significant increase in usage since it first launched, it is important that brands and businesses get ready to implement visual search.
