SEO and Reputation Management

Experiencing Negative Search Results?

Google, Yahoo and Bing offer no instant fixes to address any or all negative posts and comments, nor can they be deleted at will or by request. Reputation management is a labor-intensive and required process, which can take several months before any progress is seen. When dealing with a reputation management issue, it’s important to have extensive knowledge and expertise on how to avoid the risk of causing further damage by accessing the offending site multiple times or posting responses.

An unfortunate truth behind search engine results is that they love controversial comments, continuous posts and active audiences. A bad review posted on a site with a huge daily audience that continuously comments on that page is just as damaging as any review on Yelp, Angie’s list or other merchant review sites.

In order to remove negative results you will need:

• The creation of a blog and daily topic relevant entries.
• Positive and credible reviews about the company, product, brand or service.
• Directory listings using optimized and negative keywords.
• Strategic online publicity using press releases, social media and featured guest blogging.

Every reputation management plan should be tailor-fitted to your business and the problem at hand. What may work for one company’s negative post or reputation issue may not in your case, so we provide a detailed and comprehensive plan for reputation recovery and undoing damages caused by implementing a systemic approach to effectively push down negative search results.
