Context

Helped organise reputation work: notice a review, classify the issue, respond and route it to the person who can resolve it.

Task

The problem and my role

At the fuel network, contributed to handling reviews and mentions on maps and social platforms. Fragmented handling left some messages unanswered or lost after escalation. Worked with process participants to formalise response and escalation. Also contributed to digital reach campaigns.

Solution

Building the workflow

  1. Notice

    Collect reviews and mentions in one list with platform and timestamp.

  2. Classify

    Identify a question, service issue, factual error or other message.

  3. Respond

    Give a substantive answer within an agreed time. Polite templates do not replace a solution.

  4. Route

    Send the issue to someone able to address the cause. Retain an owner and status.

  5. Review causes

    Assess recurring issues and handling time. Feed findings back into service and communication.

What counts as an outcome

Fewer lost messages

Track the entire incoming flow with a status for every message. Assess negative feedback without a substantive answer and time to first response.

Beyond a closed status

A formal reply does not establish resolution. Check reopened issues, repeat complaints and causes the team can actually address.

Conclusions

What the case demonstrates

Helped organise reputation handling. Assess messages without substantive responses, response speed and repeat complaints. The calculation shows how I compare these measures.

The approach at a glance

  • Keep a review in the workflow until it has a clear status
  • The issue determines the response and owner
  • Assess response speed and recurring causes
