Online Reputation Management
Do you have any idea how many bad reviews you or your business have online? You should! Your online reputation is your image on the internet. Online reputation management (ORM) is about improving or restoring your name or your brand’s good standing. This is by countering, weakening or eliminating the negative material found on the internet – defeating it with more positive material to improve your credibility and consumer’s trust in you.
Why is Online Reputation Management so Important to Your Business?
Fact: 80% of consumers changed a purchase decision due to a bad review they read online. What will they read about you or your business?

Just one bad review, blog post or comment can gravely affect your target market’s purchasing decision.
