Online Reputation Management – Need of the Hour



Are you head over heels in love with the internet? We bet you are. So are we…

Internet has spread its tentacles to all corners of the globe and brought about so many positive developments all around us. Restricting ourselves to one such positive, let us explore how the internet has helped shape the modern day marketing strategies of various organizations.

An online identity in the form of a website is a must-have for every organization. You stand to lose a priceless advantage by not tapping on to the colossal number of potential consumers for your products/services. Having said that, it must also be clarified that the presence on the internet, especially what we call search engine reputation management must be flawless or else it can be counter-productive and do more damage than good.

Picture this: I have access to the internet, I am looking for ‘computer manufacturers florida’, I run this search string on Google.com (the big Daddy of Search Engines), I come across many results and your website mention is in the Top 10 results and Bang! You are Ecstatic!! Aren't you? You thank your seventh heaven for the ace Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy you adopted. But hey, have a closer look, the mere mention of your website or company is not enough, it could be a negative propaganda run by your competitor to malign the reputation of the Brand you built so tirelessly. You cannot afford to risk potential clients/customers stumbling upon this tarnished online reputation and creating that unthinkable distance from your organization.


It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.~ Warren Buffett
