Customer reviews are a critical factor influencing consumer behavior and choices. According to a study, approximately 89% of consumers review a product before buying.
According to Podium, 93% of consumers said that online reviews are one of the top three elements they consider before buying a product. It is a personal recommendation from someone who has purchased and used the product.
A study by Spiegel Research Center showed that products with reviews had a 270% higher chance of being purchased than those without reviews. The same study found that products with even a one-star rating can lead to a 5-9% increase in revenue.
These factors are justified considering that reviews build trust among consumers regarding the authenticity of a product.
For buyers and sellers both, reviews are extremely important. The reviews and ratings make it easier for the buyers to make a choice and be aware of the quality of the product before buying it. At the same time, the reviews help sellers win customers' trust and grow their sales.
Since reviews are highly crucial in the growing world of e-commerce, where thousands of products are listed daily, people must know how to access them. For both buyers and sellers, it is essential to analyze the reviews.
In this article, I will discuss a detailed guide on seeing your Amazon reviews and editing or deleting them. Let’s get started!
How to see your Amazon Reviews as a seller?
As a seller, there are two ways in which you can access and view the reviews on your products: manually viewing them on the product page and through your Seller’s Central Account.
Let’s see how you can use each of these methods.
Manually accessing the Reviews:
This method is very straightforward. All you need to do is go to the item's product page and the “Review and Ratings” section to access all the reviews.
Manually checking the reviews of products works well if you have less number of items. However, if you want to check reviews of many items, accessing them through Amazon’s Seller Central Platform is a better choice.
Accessing your reviews through the Seller Central Platform
You can view all the reviews for different items under your store through your Sellers Account. However, you must remember that this method is only available to sellers who have signed up for Amazon’s Brand Registry program.
Follow the steps below to view the reviews using this method:
Step 1: Log in to your Sellers Account
Step 2: Go to the “Brands” tab, which redirects you to the Brand Dashboard. If this option is not visible on your account, you don’t have a brand registered on Amazon and, therefore, cannot use this method.
- Step 3: Select the “Customer Reviews” option under the “Brand Benefits” section on the Brand Dashboard.
You can use this feature to access all the reviews from the past month. The reviews will become visible within a day, and you can access them for a month.
You can even filter the reviews by the number of stars and date posted.
In case of bad ratings, you can reach out to the customer and resolve any issue they had with the product. A great way to eliminate bad reviews is by fixing the customer’s problems and possibly turning a bad review into a good one.
Regularly viewing your reviews is extremely important for any seller. Using review and feedback, bad and good, you can improve your service, increasing customer satisfaction. Reviews impact your brand’s reputation. So, it is important to keep a close track of them.
