What Is Online Reputation Management

We would all like to be experts in Online Reputation Management, but how much do you really know? In the digital age, reputations are arguably far more important than they've ever been. Now, nearly every transaction begins with a search engine, and the futures of businesses hangs on a handful of keystrokes. So it is imperative that online presences exist and are relatively positive. 

Unfortunately, people who want to damage a company's reputation will find few obstacles online. There is no red tape or hierarchy to dig through. So every injustice, every disgruntled employee and remotely negative experience, has all the potential to do serious harm to public relations. 
​
It is a nightmare for marketing, especially if there isn't a specific department or team set aside to manage online presence. 

There isn't a way to erase the negatives entirely, but it is possible to bury them. Luckily, if bad press doesn't show up on the first page of search results, it will likely not be found. So it is a necessary evil, and at NextStep, we can help you develop a strategy to improve your online presence. 

After all, more often than not, managing an online reputation isn't about "fixing" anything. It is about branding and positive truths; this is how potential customers begin to come out of the woodwork. This is how businesses (particularly those that are smaller-scale) grow and become successful.
