Hi! Question: What do you do to word of mouth?

You build it, you create it, you spread it, you circulate it, probably among other things. What are those things? Any ideas? I'd like a quick rundown of any common choices I've missed, but am open to hearing some uncommon ones I haven't yet thought up myself.

As a secondary concern, are there hyphens between "word," "of," and "mouth?"

"Everyone is spreading positive word of mouth" or "Everyone is spreading positive word-of-mouth?"

Too many mixed results on Google. Thanks!

Unfortunately, sir, while I appreciate the suggestion, I wouldn't feel comfortable using "fraze," as I've never heard of it before. My own ignorance, no doubt. You wouldn't happen to have anything more common? Just the quickest of rundowns. Thanks.

Samir1What do you do to word of mouth?
Note that most of the uses are "by word of mouth" and "through word of mouth". It's used more in those prepositional phrases than in any other way.
