What Does An Online Reputation Management Company Do?


The first thing we do is listen to what your problem is.

Then we analyze the current search engine results and advise you on whether removing the negative links or pushing down the negative links in Google is the best course of action.

Usually, if we can delete or de-index the unwanted links, this is the most affordable way to go about it, as this process permanently hides the news stories and websites you don’t want people to see.

If removal is not an option, then we recommend suppression, which you can read about below.

Although many companies claim that they guarantee to remove links from Google, most times, this is not possible; suppression is usually the way.

Once we determine our strategy (removal vs. suppression) than we get to work on creating new positive content and promoting all existing positive content month after month.

The longer you work with us, the farther down in Google the negative links will go.

And despite what expensive reputation management companies tell you, our solutions are effective and we’ve got hundreds of happy customers to prove it.

 

Suppression Of Negative Links In Google


These days, customers, business associates, employers, (and even first dates!) are using Google to do find out about you before choosing to buy from you, do business with you, hire you, or go out on a date with you.

With the internet being a permanent record of everything that’s ever been published online, negative content about you or your business can have a huge impact on your ability to find a job, do business, or gain the trust of customers.

The goal of reputation management suppression services (also known as pushing down bad links) is twofold:

  1. Push down the negative content from page 1 of Google (where most people will never see it)
  2. Give you back control of your name, your business name, or your brand

Most of the content published on the web will never be removed, which means pushing down the negative content is your only option for cleaning up what people can find about you.

Our Affordable Suppression Strategy


Online reputation management is not rocket science. It boils down to two things: content and content promotion.

Most people want to clear page 1 of negative Google search results for a certain keyword or key phrases. The goal is to give you control over the content people see when they Google you.

Every case is different, but here is an overview of common strategies we use to push down negative content in Google:

  • Premium content placement – these are feature articles about you or your company in authority sites like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, etc. These articles are expensive, but stand a good chance of ranking organically due to their authority
  • Press releases – positive news about you or your business is written by one of our SEO copywriters and distributed to thousands of online media, resulting in a combination of quality content that ranks well in Google, as well as quality links to help promote your other online assets.
  • Quality interview placement – these are unique interviews about you and your business we place on various interview sites. Most firms don’t do this. We call and record an interview you (takes about 10 minutes), then transcribe and publish it to sites we control. A couple of the sites rank organically; they are all good for link building.
  • Web 2.0/Social media content – web 2.0 are free sites where you can claim, post, and share content. Examples of web 2.0 include Facebook, Twitter, Weebly, WordPress, etc. There are thousands of web 2.0 sites; only a few of them rank organically, but you never know. We use them all for content and link building and provide you with username/password, so you can update any sites that rank well.
  • Improve existing content – Sometimes, an SEO tweak to a title or H1 tag can help your existing content rank better. We help you make these adjustments to help speed up your campaign.
  • Internet business directories – For companies and business owners, sites like Yelp, Manta, yellowpages.com and many others rank very well for your brand name. We review your listings and make adjustments as necessary to improve their ranking.
  • Link building (Web 2.0 manual) – As we use Web 2.0 sites and social media for content, we also, use them to promote other content we are trying to rank. Links on authoritative web 2.0 properties are inserted manually with care.
  • Link building (Private blog network) – A private blog network (PBN) is a network of websites, business sites, directories, and ordinary blogs. Contextual links are manually inserted in a natural way to help boost the ranking of your most important digital assets. PBN links are critical to the success of your campaign and are used with great care. We have access to over 600 blogs for PBN link building.
  • Click through marketing. We have a huge team of real people who help us vote up your positive content which helps with engagement and rankings.
  • Removal attempt – Depending on the site, we make an attempt at contacting the website owner for removal or refer your business to one of our partners who specializes in removal. Either way, you get a quote for what it would cost to remove the unwanted content, so you have the option of paying to remove it.

Reputation Management Suppression FAQ


Are results guaranteed? No. We don’t control Google, but since we offer fixed rate pricing, we continue to work on your campaign until it’s completed. That’s pretty darn close to a guarantee.

How long will it take to push down the unwanted links? It varies, but one of the most important factors is the domain domain strength of those negative listings (sites like Yelp, RipoffReport, most news sites and .gov are very strong). Other factors include:

  • The number of keywords you want fixed (ie, Tom Smith, Tom Smith Omaha, Tom Smith Omaha NE is 3 different keywords)
  • The length of the keyword(s) you need fixed (“your name” is more difficult than “your name your city”)
  • The quantity of negative listings to be pushed off page 1 of Google (multiple negatives can take a bit longer)

Most campaigns take between 3-12 months, but some take longer depending on how severe.

Can content be removed from the internet?  You should always contact the webmaster and see if they will remove content first. If that doesn’t work, we offer guaranteed removal/de-indexing services for sites like Ripoff Report, Pissed Consumer, Complaints Board, and others.

Should I focus on removal or suppression? I usually advise clients that if you are dealing with an isolated incident, like a lawsuit resulting in bad press effecting your business, try first to get it removed. If you operate a business where you expect there could be future complaints, then suppression is the better way to go because it can help insulate your brand against future attacks.

The negative content was posted anonymously, what can I do? Contact us with the URL of the negative content and we will see if it is eligible for removal through legal process.

Will your methods push good content about me down? It’s possible, but we can usually avoid this by boosting all of your positive content through strategic link building.

Does clicking on the negative content make it stronger? Google has over 200 factors that effect how things rank, but there’s strong evidence that click through rate is one of the more important ranking factors. When people find and click on your negative content, it can definitely help to promote it, which is why it’s a good idea to begin a suppression campaign now, before unwanted negative content is ranking higher in your local market. The sooner you start, the faster we can get out in from of the negative press with strong quality content that promotes your positive attributes.

Should I respond to negative or false reviews? In general, when you respond, you make the negative page stronger, so we usually recommend not doing this. Handle Yelp carefully.

How soon can you start? We can start your campaign immediately.

Typical Online Reputation Management Clients


Any individual or business can benefit from the value of effective online reputation management. However, the following are the types of clients who make excellent candidates for ongoing, positive PR and ORM.

  • Public Facing Medical Professionals – Dentists, plastic surgeons, chiropractors, and other medical professionals who compete and market themselves publicly can suffer a loss of business through a handful of bad reviews or a scandalous news article.
  • Financial Services – We’ve helped multiple clients in the financial services sectors take control of their reputation in Google. Unfortunately, companies like these are always going to be under attack from that 1% of the population who complain about everything. And while complaining to a friend about your experience is one thing, posting it online can cause permanent damage.
  • Entrepreneurs – It’s great to be an entrepreneur, but the sad part of being an entrepreneur is the more successful you are, the more you become a target. The internet is the perfect place for your competitors and naysayers to try to sabotage your efforts, especially when you reach the $1M/year salary. Individuals with millions in net worth know how quickly they can lose credibility when a negative news story or social media rumors go viral.
