Dealing With Negativity On Your Social Media Pages

When advertising your Real Estate Investment company on your Social Media pages, negative comments and reviews are just a part of the platform. In both the eyes of your audience and the platform's algorithms, the best way to deal with negativity on your pages is head on.

If you receive a negative review or comment on your Facebook/Instagram page, try and respond as positively as you can to change the tone of the review. Your page visitors will look just as hard at what you respond than what the negative review actually says.

You can also collect as many positive reviews as you can to build your legitimacy and trustworthiness to your audience, while also drowning out the occasional negative review.

Facebook will let you request reviews from other users that can leave positive reviews to optimize your Facebook page to the fullest.

Use these tips below to request reviews from as many people as you can.
