Critical Steps for Online Reputation Management

7:26 AM

Companies are at perpetual risk of reputation attacks as long as the Internet is alive. Customers have the liberty to say what they want or think about specific experiences, most notably, the service they had or the products they bought from a specific company. These posts are inevitable, but there are ways to manage them.

Step 1: Search for yourself – Visit Google and run a search for your business name, as well as another search on Google Images. Try typing your name or the name of your company enclosed in quotation marks so you can get accurate results. Be vigilant for negative content you might want to act upon.
Step 2: Set a Google Alert – Set up an email alert in Google using your business’ name so you can monitor every last mention of your company in any type of content posted online. Once these results show up, they’ll be emailed to you so you can review them.
Step 3: Join social networks – The most ideal sites to be in are Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google Plus – the latter while not really as popular as the rest, is predicted to rise in terms of influencing power as it is a Google product, after all.
Step 4: Work with a pro – A number of internet marketing companies offer reputation management services that you can take advantage of. With a professional at your side, you’re less likely to make mistakes and you’ll end up with a more effective reputation management campaign.
