Online Reputation ManagementDo you have a positive online reputation?

Did you just answer, “I don’t know”?

Contact Internet Business Guide for an “Online Reputation Audit”.

If you have the time you can conduct a quick audit of your online reputation.

Use your favorite Search Engine; in the search put your “company name” in quotes followed by the word “and” (without quotes) followed by “rip off” in quotes.  Do two more searches using your “company name”, and replace “rip off” with “scam” and “fraud”.  If your “whois” record is visible conduct the same search as above replacing your “company name” with your “name”.

The above will confirm your current online reputation within the search engines.  There are many other ways that your reputation can be hurt.  Search does not often pick up comments on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.  The typical reason is that the information is behind a password login.
