Reputation management is the practice of shaping the public’s perception of a person or an organization. What was originally a public relation term, has grown to encompass online search results as a core part of an individual or entity’s reputation.
Some interesting statistics:
Here’s the bottom line – people are looking at you and your business online and making decisions based on what they find.
How you look online directly impacts your personal and professional life. Here are some of the main reasons why building and managing your online reputation is so important.
Freedom of Speech
Anyone can say anything about you online without getting in trouble. Whether the information they share is true or not, it is out there for other people to see. Some review sites have the option to open an investigation, but many places on the internet simply do not have this option. Unfortunately, there are very few laws in place to protect people who have been affected in these situations.
Everything and Everyone is Online
We do everything online these days and we have the technology in place to track and store all of this activity. That means everything we post on Facebook, everything we search for in Google, every website we visit, every online transaction we make, and every conversation we have through text, exists somewhere online.
Let the Good Outweigh the Bad
Your digital reputation creates significant opportunities. In an increasingly competitive economy, more and more customers are looking for positive information about you online. If you aren’t taking advantage of what your reputation could be, people aren’t seeing your best foot forward.
