Frequently Asked Questions

01

What Is Online Reputation Management?

Everyone has an online reputation. Online reputation management is the process of people and businesses taking control of the online conversation, using strategies and techniques to ensure that they are portrayed in a positive light when people search for them online.

04

What Does Online Reputation Management Involve?

Before formulating and implementing an online reputation management strategy, it is crucial to get a ‘lay of the land’, conducting anonymised searches, looking at alternative keywords and sites, and measuring search volume to get a basic understanding of the situation.

One of the most important steps anyone can take in terms of claiming and protecting their online reputation is building their own online presence, setting up profiles and publishing content to ensure that accurate and positive information about them appears first in the search results.

02

Why Is Online Reputation Management So Important?

In an age of ever-increasing digitisation, online reputation management is crucial for both people and business alike, enabling them to take control of the online conversation that surrounds them – eliminating damaging material or forcing it down the search engine rankings – to portray themselves in the best possible light.

03

What Steps Can People Take to Tackle Defamatory Content About Them?

With widespread implementation of social media today, both businesses and people can find themselves the target of online defamation. The first step is contacting the perpetrator directly and asking them to take it down.

If this step is unsuccessful, approaching the website where it is published – or its web hosting company – may be an effective means of getting defamatory content removed, particularly where it violates their terms of service. Alternatively, reaching out to Google and other search engines could lead to the relevant webpage being delisted from their search results.
