Business Reputation Management
Business reputation management is a growing industry: last year businesses spent over $100 million on protecting their brands and names. With the growing need comes a sharp increase in the number of companies offering reputation management. How do you know which to choose? You are putting something as valuable as your name in someone else's hands. Here are some tips for choosing a reputation management company with a good reputation:
- Find out what the company can do for you. Does it offer reputation monitoring services, which are crucial? Can they help you optimize content and add fresh content to your sites? What can they offer if you are dealing with a negative press issue?
- Can they help you increase your search engine rankings?
- What techniques do they use? They should have an arsenal of reputation management tools: PPC, SEO, search engine friendly design, and incoming link development.
- Are their claims about what they can do for you realistic? For instance, do they tell you they can 'eliminate' or 'remove' negative online press? If so, that is unrealistic. You cannot remove anything from the online world. What other strategies do they have for helping your business?
- Are they willing to take the time to meet with you, analyze your situation, and develop a game plan that works for you?
- Do they offer guaranteed, economical help?
