Online Reputation Management Adelaide

Google’s View On Online Reputation

Online reputation management for your business is crucial. Your online image is NOT only your business website. There is much more to it. Google has this to say:

“Your online identity is determined not only by what you post, but also by what others post about you ” whether a mention in a blog post, a photo tag or a reply to a public status update,” -Google

In a nutshell, your online reputation is made up of everything your business has ever said or posted online. The range of materials that could potentially impact your business’ online reputation is broader than you might realize at first. Here are just some components of your online image:

Comments made about your business on social media such as Twitter or Facebook
Photos about your business online
Videos about your business (Good or Bad) on YouTube and other video sites
Posts and articles published online about your business
Geo-location information broadcast through services like Foursquare
Comments that others make about you in social media or in blog posts
Images of your business that others publish on social media

Even what people say in an email or through instant messaging could potentially be copied and made public. In fact, anything has the potential to become part of your business’ online reputation.

Now throw in the mobile internet and smart phones, where people can read and write reviews from anywhere. You can see how a bad review about your business will hit harder and spread faster than ever before.
