What the Webinar Will Cover

The session will be led by NetReputation's Joshua Gutierrez, who will present the latest industry data from BrightLocal's 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey and Birdeye's State of Online Reviews 2025. Gutierrez will walk attendees through key trends reshaping how consumers discover, evaluate, and select businesses online.

Topics to be addressed during the webinar include:

• Current consumer review behavior and increasing star rating expectations
• Google's expanding share of online reviews across industries
• How businesses are competing for customer feedback at scale
• New FTC regulations and compliance requirements for review collection
• Best practices for responding to reviews promptly and authentically

Gutierrez will examine how businesses across a wide range of industries — including healthcare, home services, legal, finance, and retail — can build a comprehensive review management system that generates authentic feedback, responds effectively, and maintains full compliance with federal guidelines.

Beyond outlining the current review landscape, the presentation will equip attendees with practical strategies for strengthening their online reputation. Gutierrez will cover the tools and processes businesses can implement to generate more reviews, respond consistently, and compete more effectively in local search. The webinar will also include an overview of NetReputation's reputation management solutions.

Who Should Attend

NetReputation's Review Management Webinar is open to business owners, executives, marketing directors, and customer experience leaders across all industries who are looking to better understand and improve their online reputation strategy.

Why Review Management Is a Growing Priority in 2026

The timing of this webinar reflects an important moment for businesses operating in an increasingly review-driven marketplace. According to BrightLocal's 2026 survey, 41% of consumers now say they always read reviews before selecting a business, up from 29% in 2025. Meanwhile, 31% of consumers will only consider businesses rated 4.5 stars or higher — nearly double the figure from the prior year. Total online review volume grew 13% in 2024, and the Federal Trade Commission continues to actively enforce its Consumer Review Rule, having issued warning letters to 10 companies in December 2025 for violations carrying penalties of up to $53,088 per incident.

Following the presentation, attendees are invited to schedule a free consultation with NetReputation's reputation management team. For more information on NetReputation's review management solutions, click here.
