What exactly is online reputation management? ORM is a strategy of dealing with the management of what is being said about you or your company’s brand online. One major concern for companies and individuals is what shows up on the search results when you search for a company name or when you search at a search engine for your name.

When was the last time you searched Google for your name? Or your company’s name? Do the search results show positive things about you or your company’s brand? Are there negative reviews or negative things being said about you or your company?

Did you know that in the majority of cases it is possible to change what appears in the search results? Let’s look at a specific example of online reputation management.

For one financial company, what was said about them online was extremely critical. Before someone invested a lot of money with them, many potential customers typically do some research about the financial company. Several years ago, there was a lawsuit brought against the financial company. After a year or so, the lawsuit was eventually dismissed because the claims against the financial company were deemed to be untrue. However, when you searched on Google for the company name, someone had posted a copy of the lawsuit online. And documentation regarding the lawsuit remained online. Through online reputation management, not only was I able to push the content related to the lawsuit off of the first page of the search results when you searched for the financial company’s name.

Are you looking for a job? Did you know that many potential employers turn to Google and search for your name before they decide to hire you or not?
