1. What to Look for Before You Hire a Reputation Management
Company
Your business’ online reputation is, quite literally, a matter of life and death .
. . for your business, that is. If you lack the time, patience, or know-how to
manage your online reputation properly, then you owe it to your business to
put the job in the hands of those who can do it well. Fortunately for you,
there are a number of companies that specialize in doing just that.
Unfortunately for you, they are not all created equal, and it may be hard to
sort the good from the bad. Need help? Here are some tips for what to
look for before you hire a reputation management company:
Services offered. Different businesses need online reputation
management for different reasons. Identify what you want to accomplish
with your reputation management (whether it be moving your business
website further up search engine rankings or countering negative reviews,
for example), and then ask potential companies what they specialize in.
Reputation. It goes without saying that any reputable reputation
management company should have a good reputation. Research the
companies in question on the Internet, read customer reviews, and look
candidates up on the Better Business Bureau website to make an informed
and accurate assessment of a company’s business practices.
How the company works for your online reputation management. It is
important that you ask potential companies how, exactly, they work to
better your online reputation. Even if some of it is over your head, any
reputable company should be able to explain to you in relatively plain terms
the steps they use in the management process. It is possible that you may
be able to do some of it yourself; it is also possible that you simply won’t
want to expend the time or effort necessary to do it. Either way, your
reputation management company of choice should be open enough with
you to help you make that decision.
Pricing. When it comes to pricing, there are several things you should
keep in mind. If you’ve done your research and asked the right questions,
then you should have a good idea of what is involved in the management
2. process, as well as how long it will take. Your company’s quote should be
reasonable, relative to the services being rendered. It also never hurts to
shop around to make sure you are going with a realistically-priced quote.
