Effective Search Engine Reputation Management
Whether right or wrong, reputation is often the deciding factor in how successful you are in your business and personal life. What happens if a negative review, article, or press release appears on the top of the search engine results page (SERP) when someone searches for you or for your company’s name? Not only could the activity on your website decline, but the overall success and respect for you and/or your business could as well. Only through effective online reputation management can you put your business, and yourself, in the best position to reduce the effects of negative press.
Negative Online Results Will Impact You/Your Business
Once these negative news articles, negative online reviews, or negative images are online, they can quickly start to impact you and your company, quickly degrading your business! Fortunately, if you have a poor online reputation and you want to try to correct it, ASTOUNDZ online reputation management team can help to reverse the damage. How do we do this? It is a multi-pronged approach where we work to remove negative stories, we develop a lot of good, positive content to help beat down negative stories and we work on getting you back in line with good 5-star reviews.
Negative Search Results
Users do not typically travel past the first and second SERPs, meaning that the results on the third search page become extremely irrelevant. While we cannot guarantee removal of negative pages posted by other websites, we can create relevant content optimized for specific keywords and push the negative information down, bring multiple positive results to the first page and ultimately push the negative results off the first page. A company’s online presence is also reflected in social media. The ASTOUNDZ team advises our reputation management clients on how to both prevent and handle conflict.
Negative Business Reviews
For companies, especially local businesses, reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, Facebook, and Apple Maps are the driving factor for generating business online. All it takes is one of your competitors or unhappy clients to leave toxic reviews on your business listings to compromise your online reputation. There are times that users are able to flag and remove negative reviews, but this is not always the case. This is where ASTOUNDZ can help, as our team of SEO experts will provide clients with strategies that build robust review profiles for your business listings.
From responding to a negative review to posting positive content, ASTOUNDZ can assist you with your online reputation management needs. If your company or name needs online reputation management and/or SEO, please contact our SEO experts today to get started.
Why Managing Your Online Reputation Is So Important
Online reputation management, whether in the press or across social media, can have a serious impact on your business – even before someone has visited your website or physical business. Most people will check review sites such as Google My Business reviews and Yelp, before visiting your website, depending on the industry. Certainly, the ratio of positive reviews to negative will have a heavy impact on your business’s reputation, but how your company responds to negative reviews can outweigh all of those other comments.
When someone searches for you or your company’s name, you need to be sure you know what they will find and take control of what they will see first. Negative articles about your brand can crush your reputation whether you are operating a small business or large enterprise-level corporation. If the first search result for a company was a detailed negative review, would you feel comfortable working with their business? This is where ASTOUNDZ steps in to combat bad press and use reputation management to build up good press around your brand. Our reputation defenders have proven time and time again that your company name can be rebuilt across social media accounts and search results. It takes time and dedication, but with the right reputation managers, it can happen.
How Can I Manage My Online Reputation?
Your business has an online presence, whether you put it there or someone else posts about it. Bloggers can write extensive review articles about your brand, and YouTubers can post unboxing experiences with your product. Their opinion is shared across the web and it may not always be the opinion you wish to associate with your brand or product. If you are proactive in managing your reputation online, you can influence the opinions presented regarding your brand or business. How people perceive your brand matters. Managing reputations is about controlling what the world sees in regard to your name or company.
