Abstract
The study aims to analyze the influence of E-WOM (electronic word of mouth) on the facebook social media platform on the level of consumer satisfaction at SMEs Markasku, with purchasing decisions as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative survey approach to 100 active consumers, the data was processed using the structural equation modeling partial least squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results indicate E-WOM significantly and positively influences consumer satisfaction, both directly and through mediation of purchasing decisions. Positive reviews on facebook have been shown to increase consumer trust, influence purchasing decisions, and have an impact on increasing consumer satisfaction.
