Fact

Money spent on suppressing negativity is potentially far far more effective than money spent on advertising

Fact

A negative item on the internet could propel you into bankruptcy - even if totally untrue

Fact

It can take years to build a good reputation, and 5 minutes to destroy it

What happens if someone is trying to hurt you by publishing malicious information on the internet?

This is unfortunately very common. Maybe it is an ex employee, customer or business associate. Or maybe it is a complete stranger. But nowadays people are realising how easy it is to make blog posts, or post negative reviews on review sites, that will often rank in Google for your name.

It may distort the truth in an unpleasant way, or it may be completely untrue. Either way it may stay there for years unless you get help with reputation management to push it off page one of Google.

What happens if the negative site is a news report publicising an event in the past like a court case that is damaging my reputation

It makes no difference if the site is totally true.  You still have a right to privacy, and to use the internet to portray positive things about you rather than negative.

Who will see the negative sites?

A large number of potential business contacts, clients and customers will see them.

People use Google to look up someone's name for two main reasons

  • To find out more about them and check if there is anything negative about them
  • Just as a glorified phone book, to find your website or contact information

What did Benjamin Franklin say about this?

“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it”

But we already have a marketing budget which has been allocated for advertising and other promotion.

Think again. Reputation management gives a  MUCH bigger return on investment than spending money on general marketing, and the sooner you realise that, the better.

Testimonial

My problem was that I had a complete stranger using my name because she had a grievance with another organisation, this was coming up within the first three results on Google when you googled my name, so right there at the top of the first page.

When I spoke to Keith at Reputation Management Experts, he immediately understood my problem and was able to help me promote truthful/favourable results to the front of Google.

I’ve been delighted with Keith’s services and would recommend him to anyone who is concerned about their Google CV.

But I cannot afford to do anything about it

Wrong! You cannot afford NOT to do anything about it.

If there are negative sites about you, you are probably losing a considerable about of income.

You will make more money if you fix this a.s.a.p.

Is this becoming more important all the time?

Yes. Today, businesses and individuals are losing control of their brand,. In the past, media sources were relatively few, but recently with the explosion of Twitter, Facebook, blogging, forums and other social networking and review sites almost everything we do is on display, and everyone feels they have a right to pass judgement. In this internet age, it is absolutely vital for companies to have someone look after their reputation management.
