Reputation Management
The growth of the internet and social media led to the development of reputation management companies, making search results a core part of an individual’s or group’s reputation. Online reputation management, sometimes abbreviated as ORM, focuses on managing online product and service search results.
Reputation management is all about keeping your digital footprint professional and clean. We’ve all been in a place where we didn’t like something. A product or service wasn’t what you wanted, and you lashed out by posting a scathing review about that online. Having negative information online hurts all around. For a business, it could result in a loss of sales.
Reputation Management = Public Relations
Asking for reviews from your customers should be a common practice. It doesn’t take much time, and you can easily send an email with a link to the source you would like the review left on. Think about it, how often do you search for a business and look at the review score to determine if you will visit that site? I do it all the time. Further proof that people rely on word of mouth when deciding to do business with someone.
