Online Reputation Management – Five Star Reviews
Why Should You Care About Reputation Management?
- According to BrightLocal 92% of consumers read online reviews.

Reputation management is a strategy of actively monitoring and reacting to what is being said about your company online. This could be in the form of reviews on websites like Google, Yelp, Facebook and other review directories or other social media places. In most of these places you have the ability to respond to both positive and negative comments posted online.
Online Customer Reviews are the New Word of Mouth!
In the digital age one of the first things online searchers do when they find a business online is check their reviews. This is serious stuff and not monitoring or reacting to online reviews can seriously damage your business.
Negative reviews posted online can not only damage your business, they can actually destroy your business.
Are you aware of what people are saying about your company online?
Take the Business name test now!
Go to Google, type in your business name, and look at the results. If you have done a good job of search engine optimization your website should be the first thing that pops up. After that any other content optimized for your name should appear as well as your listing in major directories and your Facebook business page.
If the above happens, you are in good shape as far as your brand name goes online. Remember, only people who have already heard of you or were referred to you will type in your business name.
If you see negative things in the search result you have big problems and need reputation management to push the negative things off to page 2, since most searchers never go past page one in the search results.
