Have Some Dirt Online? Now What?

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- While it could take many years to build up a good reputation, it can take only days or minutes to damage a reputation that can cost companies dearly. When it comes to running a business, more than likely, there will be someone at some point who is not happy with the services or products the business provides, no matter how great the business is overall. Once a negative post has surfaced, the business needs to take immediate action in order to take the post down or to bury it in the later pages of search engine results.

"The absolute worst thing that a company can do is to let a negative post sit there for an extended period of time," said reputation expert and CEO of Reputation Maxx Walter Halicki. "An online landscape is like a garden. If you get a weed in there that is new, it is easy to pluck out and for the garden to return to normal. A negative post or posts that have been there for years are like trees; you can't just pull it out – you have to chop away at them bit by bit until it's all gone."

One of the first steps that a business can take towards starting to repair the way that they look online is to buy up domains with their name in it reveals the online reputation management firm of Reputation Maxx. These sites can be used as a place for companies to post positive information about their business as well as to keep consumers informed about the latest happenings at their company. The more positive content on the Internet about the company, the better off the company will be.

Another step that a business with a damaged reputation can take is to become more active on social media shares Reputation Maxx. By connecting with clients and consumers via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social networking sites, companies can be more in tune with what their consumer base wants and needs, as well as addressing any issues when they occur, rather than letting it build into someone posting a nasty review on negative sites across the Internet.

If a business is struggling with its online image, it may be time to call in a professional to help them out. For more information about online reputation management and how businesses can gain back control of the way that they look online, visit http://www.reputationmaxx.com
