This is a huge effect of a bad review or comment online. It can mean that the next potential customer may choose a competitor when searching for your product or services.
2. Employers may look elsewhere
Frequently employers are looking at their potential employees online either before or after interview. What they find may influence their decision to hire you or not. This is a great reason to review your reputation.

A damaged reputation can make you lose confidence in yourself and make you feel anxious about looking for a new job, moving locations or interacting with others online.
