Profiles

Research shows that, after the UCAS website and university open days, students prioritise reviews to influence their decisions. So if you’re not putting your best foot forward when it comes to review platforms, you could be missing out.

Students are more likely to click on your website and consider your accommodation option if your profile shows that you authentically engage with feedback, both positive and negative.

That’s why a review management strategy is essential for accommodation teams who want to manage their reputation, engage with prospective students and drive high-quality referrals.
