How Reputation Rhino Helps Businesses Solve their Online Reputation Management Challenges

Too often in life and in business, what we think our reputation is vs how we are perceived, are two different things. After watching countless businesses lose revenue due to poor customer reviews, dissatisfied employees, smear campaigns, and scandals, it became clear that there was a need for online reputation repair services. However, there is so much more to reputation management than damage control; management also means taking a proactive approach.

Online reputation management companies were born out of necessity, as businesses and individuals both need to take control of what is posted about them online. In this digital age, every enraged associate can wreak havoc from behind a screen, and at the same time, online reviews are relied on more than ever before consumers make a buying decision. It's a nightmare combination that leaves companies at the mercy of their reviewers - or does it?

What is Online Reputation Management?

Your online reputation dictates how you are perceived by potential clients, customers, prospects, leads, and coworkers. It is determined by your website, online reviews, blogs, press releases, articles, social media sites, and other online communities. Some of the ways that Reputation Rhino influences, shapes, and manages your online reputation include:

• Business Reputation Monitoring and Repair 

• Generating Highly Rated Online Business Reviews

• Search Engine Optimization that Produces More Website Visitors and Qualified Leads

• Web Design and Development For a Visually Appealing and User-Friendly Website

• Content/ Blog Marketing Management to Give Your Brand Authority Above Your Competition

• Social Media and PPC Management to Get Your Offer in Front of a Targeted Audience at the Lowest Cost

Every search result for your company can affect how you come across to someone looking for information about how you do business. While you cannot control what others write about you or your company in an online forum, you do have the ability to lessen the impact and visibility of such a posting. The creation of positive content in its place can also push negative information much lower in the search results.

Some of the reputation management work that Reputation Rhino will recommend that you do, or contract them to take care of, includes:

• Creating a complete online profile on popular social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube

• Track what is being said about you online

• Respond directly on sites where the negative content appears

• Create your own website or blog

• Participate actively in online communities

• Publish positive reviews from satisfied clients or customers

• Hire an online reputation management firm

Why Do Businesses Need Online Reputation Management?

Everyone needs online reputation management. The internet is now the first stop for information that will determine buying decisions, hiring decisions, and partnering decisions. The internet doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget. It has also allowed angry customers, former employees, and competitors to be more cruel and hurtful than they would ever dare to be in person.

If you want to attract and keep clients, increase revenue, appeal to valuable applicants, and grow your business, you will want to manage your online reputation. Sometimes, the information that you find out by researching your own reputation can result in positive and necessary changes to company policies or staffing. Even if you are extremely hands-on in your business operations, you can still become aware of negative customer or employee experiences that warrant a response from you. You may also be surprised by how your personal reputation impacts that of your business.

Reputation Rhino is also an advocate of purchasing domains for multiple variations of your first name and last name and business name (.com, .net, .org, etc.), as well as registering your name across social media. Brandjacking and cybersquatting occur often and can be prevented by companies being proactive.

Playing defense is no longer enough when it comes to managing your online reputation. Actively creating content of value to your client base is a great way to engage your community and attract new customers to your brand. This gives you an opportunity to demonstrate subject matter expertise and establish thought leadership in your field and can be shared on your blog, social media, or email marketing campaigns.

Why Hire an Online Reputation Management Company?

Maybe you update your website regularly, post on your preferred social media sites daily, and monitor Google and Yelp for negative reviews - which is a great start to managing your online reputation. But as your company grows, this is no longer enough of an investment into your online presence. A dedicated company has the time and resources that you don't, and can also provide detailed metrics and findings from their deep digging into your brand online.

Hiring an online reputation management company like Reputation Rhino allows you to step back from the full-time job of monitoring and influencing your brand online. With a team of professionals in place, you have access to experts in their fields so that you can focus on what you do best. 

Even if you aren't actively dealing with a PR crisis or scandal, most companies can benefit from additional attention being paid to their online presence so that they're putting their best foot forward while being easily found by potential customers and clients.
