In a recent video chat, REVIEWS.io marketing lead Rich Ball caught up with head of digital marketing, Dan Drummond, to find out more about the agency, and how the REVIEWS.io solution helps it support its clients.
Become an agency partner and grow your clients' businesses through reviews.
Itâs getting harder to catch up with those that have got 50,000 reviews, so if youâre not using a review system, you need to be using one right now to be relevant. I think video reviews are definitely the way forward.
Morphsites considers review collection as an absolute must for agencies to compete with there competitors.

Whether youâre a startup with 10 clients on your roster, or an established team juggling 10,000, our digital agencies partner programme gives you the tools you need to strengthen their online reputation (and your own while youâre at it).
When you team up with REVIEWS.io, you help your clients collect valuable social proof and authentic user generated content with ease. And because weâre a Google Licensed Partner, all review data contributes to Google Seller Ratings, boosting credibility and conversion across Google shopping and Ads.
Ultimately, agencies partnering with REVIEWS.io keep their clients happy with increased visibility across organic search, paid advertising, and social media without tying them down to long term contracts.
Morphsites work with clients that need advanced solutions and are looking for more functionality than youâd typically get from platforms like Shopify, such as multiple payment gateways or complicated stock control systems.
As an example of the type of work they do, Dan shared the case of Coombe Farms, a dairy farm that made the move into the organic meat market. To do so, they needed a bespoke website that fulfilled some very niche requirements:
Dan explains it was Coombe Farms that led to Morphsites partnership with REVIEWS.io, as they were looking not only for a bespoke eCommerce store, but also a review collection system that enabled them to grow.
Not partial to any particular platform at the time, Morphsites carried out due diligence and found REVIEWS.io to be the best solution, as well as the cheapest:
Whatâs been great about REVIEWS.io is that youâve constantly built on the platform. Itâs not remained static - itâs constantly got better and better and better. And from an agency point of view, itâs really easy to use.
So what features are particularly useful from an agency perspective? Dan spoke about REVIEWS.ioâs API functionality, and how it allows them to tailor review collection on a client by client basis.
This is particularly important for brands like Coombe Farms, since frozen meat products can be kept for months before use:
Thereâs no point prompting reviews on the dispatch or delivery date, so itâs great being able to set two week later to ask for a review. Weâve got better conversion rates from tweaking when to send it.

Dan also made mention of our widget library, and how theyâve found different styles useful for different clients, including a car leasing company, whoâve been able to showcase their excellent customer service by placing reviews front and centre on their website.
For us, video reviews have become increasingly important, both for consumers and businesses. They show a brand how products fit into customerâs lives and give insight thatâs just not achievable through written content.
For the consumer, they create emotional responses, and weâre passionate about educating clients on how to use video reviews to promote a product or service. Itâs great to hear theyâre having an impact for Morphsitesâ clients too:
Video reviews are the ones customers engage with. Theyâre not scripted, theyâre more genuine. And they put the product into context as well.
Something else weâre keen to share with our clients is how to respond to negative reviews. Itâs all about identifying where the problem lies and finding the best resolution to turn a negative into a positive.
Whatâs Danâs advice on the matter?
Try and go out your way to give a good customer experience. Itâs never a good idea to just ignore bad reviews, because they wonât go away. Everyone understands mistakes are made and no business is perfect. Itâs the way you handle those bad reviews.
