But nowadays, your brand\u2019s reputation goes much further than the conversations taking place in your local community &#8211; in our digital era your online reputation can make or break your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is an Online Reputation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your online reputation is based on the public\u2019s perception of your brand, specifically related to your digital presence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your online reputation can include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online reviews and feedback.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your social media presence includes interactions with users, mentions, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Backlinks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your business website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it as the \u201cfirst impression\u201d your business makes on a user that finds you online. A user might spend a considerable amount of time gathering information about your business before passing judgment, or they might quickly scan a few Yelp reviews &#8211; which is why staying on top of every aspect of your brand\u2019s internet presence counts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is Online Reputation Management?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online reputation management (also called internet reputation management) is the process of managing consumers\u2019 perceptions of your business and taking strategic action to cultivate a positive brand reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establishing a positive reputation takes a significant amount of time and effort, but the work isn\u2019t done even once you have a distinct presence on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you know it or not, your brand has an online reputation &#8211; and it can have a significant impact on the success of your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it as word of mouth, multiplied several times, and opened up to an unlimited audience. Now, you&#8217;re no longer limited to just the customers located in the area of your brick-and-mortar location, but you&#8217;re also faced with a constantly expanding audience that exists within the digital landscape. And it doesn&#8217;t matter if you haven&#8217;t personally sought out to create an online presence for your business because online users have likely already done it for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you feeling worried about managing your online reputation? You don&#8217;t have to be. With a strategic approach to internet reputation management and a few valuable tips from professional marketers (otherwise known as your trusted team at V Digital Services), you can make sure that your brand is putting its best face forward online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Countless internet users could be talking about your business right now, so there&#8217;s no time like the present to take control over how your brand, products, and services are perceived in the online world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Online Reputation Monitoring?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consistent practice of overseeing your brand&#8217;s digital presence is referred to as online reputation monitoring and management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a significant amount of time and effort to establish a positive reputation, but even once you have a distinct presence on the internet, the work isn&#8217;t done. Constantly paying attention to how your business is represented is key, requiring a balance of proactive and reactive strategies. In addition to making sure that the public has a positive perception of your business, you also have to keep your brand reputation aligned with your business mission and values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many ways, a solid business reputation organically develops through branding efforts and business practices. However, a certain level of involvement is always necessary. And that is exactly where online reputation monitoring and management comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Monitoring vs. Management<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are nuanced differences between reputation management and reputation monitoring, though the two processes often go hand in hand:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Online reputation monitoring<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involves proactive strategies for maintaining a brand&#8217;s already-existing positive presence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Online reputation management <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relates to the steps taken after an event or issue occurs and the reparative efforts made to bolster the public perception.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective monitoring is an excellent way to avoid the need for constant interventions and &#8220;reputation repairs.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>The Purpose of Online Reputation Monitoring and Management<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For business owners that have yet to experience any major problems with their online reputation, it may seem like there&#8217;s little to gain from investing in monitoring and management.

Stay on top of what&#8217;s being said about brands, products, and services.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being aware of what people are saying about your company is common sense. If you&#8217;re able to quickly catch negative feedback, you can respond effectively, handle the matter, and avoid too much damage being done. Answering positive feedback is equally valuable because it demonstrates your appreciation for and dedication to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2.

But rather than simply crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, focusing on being proactive is a far better approach. Come up with ideas to encourage happy customers to submit their feedback and devise a system to respond to negative reviews with a professional, customer-first attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Aim for consistency across all your social media profiles.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media plays a central role in your online reputation.

At the same time, they can affect the quality of your online reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, negative SEO tactics are used by hackers or competitors that are intentionally using &#8220;black hat&#8221; tactics to tarnish your digital presence.

Expand your influence.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, crafting high-quality, relevant content that establishes your brand as a trustworthy authority and source of information is one of the best ways to create a positive online reputation. Not only does great content build your digital influence, but it can also help you boost your search rankings with keyword targeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Why Online Reputation Monitoring &amp; Management Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By proactively monitoring and managing your brand\u2019s online reputation, you can reap valuable benefits while simultaneously avoiding potentially disastrous situations. Rather than taking a solely reactive approach to damaging feedback or news, you can invest effort into nurturing a strong, positive reputation that can weather challenges &#8211; and be well-prepared to address issues as soon as they occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the many benefits of online reputation monitoring and management is <\/span><b>customer loyalty<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which fuels <\/span><b>increased revenue and business growth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Much like traditional word-of-mouth, your online reputation functions as a way to <\/span><b>attract new customers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sustain existing relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data shows that nearly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/local-consumer-review-survey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80% of consumers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> always or regularly check online reviews when looking for local businesses. And when you consider that 99% of consumers have gone online to research a local business in the last year, you can see how your online reputation has a massive impact on your success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>How to Create an Online Reputation Management Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing your online reputation is a continuous process, something you\u2019ll need to do for as long as you\u2019re running your business. For this reason, many business owners invest in professionally-provided online reputation management and monitoring services. By turning the task over to a skilled professional, you can be confident that it is receiving the time and attention required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether starting from scratch or improving existing processes, creating a clear reputation management plan will help you stay on track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Research your existing online reputation.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you\u2019ll need to figure out exactly what people are saying about your business online right now. The goal is to inventory all the places where your business is being discussed so that you can get a complete picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can conduct an online reputation audit by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Searching your business name on Google and other search engines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluating your customer reviews on review sites and social media.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assess your social media presence on your business page and in relevant groups (local community pages, industry pages, etc.).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review your competitors\u2019 feeds and reviews to pinpoint any mentions of your business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to work with a professional, you can typically expect to gain access to specialized reputation management tools and software. There are several different programs\/platforms that can collect all of your business reviews from third-party websites, manage social media accounts, locate inaccurate business data, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Create a strategy for reputation management.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a clear understanding of the overall perception of your business, you can begin to pinpoint opportunities for improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current state of your reputation will shape your internet reputation management strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, suppose you discovered that public perception of your brand is largely negative. In that case, you will need to implement practices that respond to negative feedback appropriately while also considering how to improve customer experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if your brand\u2019s online reputation is primarily nonexistent at this point (perhaps your business is relatively new), then one of your main goals will be to work on building a positive presence from the ground up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what your current standing may be, your strategy should address the following crucial components:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How will online conversations be monitored on a consistent basis?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine who will be responsible for reputation monitoring tasks, including regularly researching reviews, social media conversations, and the like. Outline expectations for how regularly this research is conducted, as well as how in-depth it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How do you know which comments or reviews require responses?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An integral part of our brand\u2019s internet reputation is your responsiveness to online users because it is seen as highly representative of your commitment to customer service. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you must craft in-depth responses to every comment, mention, or review. However, there should be a process for prioritizing responses to both positive and negative feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What is the tone that you will use to respond to online feedback?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s true that responding to comments and feedback is important, it can end up damaging your brand if you fail to maintain the right tone. We\u2019ve all seen businesses answer negative feedback with argumentative or defensive comments, which only results in the brand doing even more harm to its reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a guide to use when responding to feedback (positive and negative), so you can maintain professionalism and your overall brand identity. It can also be handy to have a crisis management plan, to be used in situations that have escalated significantly or are challenging to deal with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Use comments, feedback, and reviews as opportunities to take action.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Criticism can be tough to swallow, no matter how experienced a business owner you may be. However, it can also be a helpful tool for improving your business in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumer feedback can highlight the areas of your business that may need more attention, as well as certain aspects that might need to be reevaluated. Positive reviews can be equally beneficial, pointing out the things you\u2019re already doing right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking effective action based on feedback is a fundamental skill you\u2019ll need to keep your business up and running &#8211; and your online reputation can be an excellent source of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 4: Repeat.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three steps above should be practiced as part of an ongoing cycle, and they may even coincide. The work is never done in online reputation monitoring and management, but it\u2019s definitely worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Simplifying Online Reputation Management for Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing your online reputation is a full-time job, which is why so many businesses partner with professionals to achieve the best possible &#8211; and least stressful &#8211; results.
