What is Reputation Management? - I often get asked this question when people ask what I do. So in the simplest terms reputation management is about controlling what people see on the Internet about you and also damage limitation. Damage limitation as you may have guessed is about dealing with negative results on the Internet and reducing the damage it can do to a individual or company.

Imagine if a journalist writes negatively about your product and the article he has written does better in the search engine than your own company website. What if you are a celebrity and you have a very personal court case going on and the last thing you want is it showing up in the search results doe your name. Reputationmanagementfor.com helps to take the sting and quite often prevent such negative results staying around the first pages of the search engine and limiting the damage that could have been caused.

What are the steps to reputation management?

1. The first step is to see what the actual negative content is and does it have any truth, is it someones opinion or is it a lie or libelous? If it is then hopefully the website can be force to take it down quite quickly.
2. Start a strategy to start pushing out positive content about the company or individual.
3. Monitor the results and improve.
4. Implement measure to stop negative content reaching or staying long on the first page of the search engines.

Depending on the severity of negative content and the key phrases that need protecting will determine how much work and costs are involved.
