Tips To Online Reputation Management

 

“I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.”

~Miles Davis

 

1.

 Monitor Your Brand Name. Claiming and managing your brand name are only 2 parts of the equation when it comes to establishing and improving your online reputation. One of the most important pieces of reputation management is actually monitoring your brand online. Monitoring search results, blog posts, tweets, status updates and other mentions online can be an extremely difficult and time consuming task. Fortunately, there are some fantastic tools available for businesses to properly monitor their brand name.

Top Brand Monitoring Tools

Trackur

MonitorThis

Google Alerts

Twitter Search

Google Search

Bing Search

With all of these resources, you will need to enter in your top search terms that you want to monitor. For example, if your company is XYZ Clothing then one of your search terms would be “xyz clothing”. These resources will query the major search engines, blogs and online mentions to let you know what has been picked up by the search engines.

2.

Don’t Neglect Your Social Media Accounts. It’s important to build out your social media accounts. Merely having a Twitter, Facebook and Google+ account/page for your business is insufficient — you need to develop your audience on them, too. With ongoing development, you can build your social media accounts in order to interact with customers and to increase your influence and engagement scores.

If you don’t do this, those accounts may not be strong enough to outrank the postings if someone begins to post negative things. While we don’t know precisely how Google and Bing may assess the strength of social media accounts, you can use some independent scoring utilities to assess whether you’re achieving growth. Two of the better-known ones are Klout and Kred.

3.

Create a spreadsheet that contains all of the search results from the first three pages of your search. Indicate which results are positive, negative or neutral, as well as which ones you control or influence and the ones you don't. This establishes a baseline for your online reputation that you can later use to assess your reputation enhancement efforts. Take screen shots of each Google search results page at the beginning and periodically repeat the exercise.

Find Creative Ways to Tell Your Company’s Story. One of the best ways to do this is with your content. You can give consumers a more personal connection with your company by revealing your history—mistakes and all. You can also use real-life examples of how your product or service has helped someone. Remember to use a friendly, conversational tone instead of spouting corporate speak and confusing jargon. This can all humanize your company and allow you to better relate to consumers, which will enable you to jump ahead of competitors who don’t.

5.

Identify your personal goals. You first need to have personal goals for your reputation or personal brand. Creating a constant "theme" will help you with search-engine optimization (SEO) and create organic search results.

Write down three to five words that describe how you would like to be seen -- business leader, thought leader, adventure seeker, intercontinental balloonist -- then use these descriptions to guide how you develop your profile and create and curate content.
