For the most part, people come to us only when they have a problem. There is something that won’t “go away ” in search results or old news on the first page of Google that is hindering someone’s personal life or costing them business. Prospective clients are often surprised at the length of a campaign that is required in order for positive results to start populating in the top of search results. Usually, the prolonged nature of a campaign is due to the fact that there has been no reputation management before the bad results started appearing, so the work is more or less starting from scratch.

 

The best way to begin reputation management is to not wait until negative results start appearing, but to proactively begin taking control of your reputation when the proverbial weather is fair. Claiming ownership of your domain and social media profiles is always a great first step even if you don’t actively plan on using them just yet.

The first page of Google is the new first impression, that’s why maintaining your online presence is so important in this day and age.
