Online Reputation Management
Reputation Management is the art and practice of monitoring the reputation of an individual, brand or a company, addressing contents which are damaging to it, and using customer feedback to get feedback or early warning signals to reputation problems. It was originally coined as a public relations term, but advancement in computing, the internet and social media made it primarily an issue of search results. Although it is often associated with ethical grey areas, such as astroturfing review sites, censoring negative complaints or using SEO tactics to game the system and influence results, there are also ethical forms of reputation management, such as responding to customer complaints, asking sites to take down incorrect information and using online feedback to influence product development.
Reputation management may attempt to bridge the gap between how a company perceives itself and how others view it. Our Reputation Management Consultants in India always focused on pushing down the negative search results. Major Search Engige like Google and Bing results are the primary target of reputation management efforts.
