Trust us, one bad review can make its way around your Sarasota area customer base quickly. It can quite literally point customers in the direction of another company with the same products, the same pricing, the same services, in the same geographic area.

What Does Reputation Management Consist Of?

Simply put, Reputation Management is a process by which we can monitor and carefully influence user perceptions, online conversations and posts, response to reputation threats, and proactively seize opportunities to boost your company’s reputation and enhance your online presence. It is the process of controlling, augmenting, and illuminating how your company—your brand—is being perceived by potential customers or clients. As we say in the media world: “Perception is Reality!”

Reputation Management takes constant vigilance, total focus, and in-depth knowledge of which sites post bad reviews and comments, how and where rumors are spread, and sometimes, even who’s spreading them.

Who Has Time to Monitor Your Website 24/7?

It has become increasingly difficult for many companies to protect their own online image. There are just so many things you can accomplish in one day. And unfortunately, Reputation Management usually drops to the bottom of the “To Do” list.

It’s almost impossible to hire one or two in-house employees whose only job is to be online 24 hours a day looking for bad reviews about your company. And frankly, it’s usually a waste of time, manpower, and money.

Disgruntled employees, employees fired for cause, competitors, unhappy customers, every single one of these people can post a bad review. And until you start losing business or hearing from a potential customer that they’ve read about your “issues” online, you might never even know they exist.

That’s where we come in.

Reputation Management Plus Search Engine Results

It takes a team of proven digital professionals to get your company name on the first page of a Google Search list. Most people, in fact 90% of online users, won’t look past the first or second page of search results when they’re looking for a listing. Our job is to get your company name within the top listings.

Whether we’re protecting your company’s reputation or making sure that we have enough applicable keywords to come up in online searches, our Reputation Management team will constantly monitor:

Any duplicate company names or service brands
Potential customer engagement numbers
Disputed company names or brands
Bad reviews, articles, court documents, etc.
Good reviews, comments, articles, etc.
First or second page search listings

Let’s Clean Up Your Website

Is your content current or terribly outdated? Does it refer to products and services that you no longer provide? Are the photos current, fresh, and totally applicable to what you have to offer? Are some employees no longer there, but still listed?

Reputation Management is a way to ensure that your website looks and “feels” fresh and new at all times. It’s a way for us to monitor when your content needs to be refreshed, when new photos would enhance the content, if all the contact information is correct. It’s a way for us to manage your company’s reputation.

Old looking photos or website colors that just don’t fit the product, outdated information, boring content, or content that doesn’t “sizzle” or drive sales can all hurt your brand. Your reputation should be built on the public’s perception of your company. And that perception can be created with a dynamic, headline-grabbing, content-wowing, color-complementing, thoroughly engaging website.

Catching any articles or press releases about your company is on our list of things to do as well. You want to keep the “news” pertinent. Articles about your company in media or trade magazines that are a week or a month old will certainly have more impact than anything published last year or the year before.

Our thirteen05 team uses a digital fine-toothed comb app to find and then determine when content needs a refresh, what website colors are considered old-fashioned, when photos need updating. It’s all a part of keeping your company’s reputation relevant and on point. That’s our job and we do it really well.

Google Is Fussy

When a potential customer or client is searching the Internet for your particular product or service, Google algorithms are programmed to weed out old news, outdated articles, lack of keywords, and instead, get the user the most current information they’re looking for quickly and efficiently.

Reputation Management is the perfect way to keep your Google search protocols in tiptop shape. You don’t want your company search results slowing down, going to the end of the search list, or not appearing at all. You want to be noticed.

By regularly checking on the numbers and data behind your website, we can help to catch any negative comments or bad reviews, control the narrative about your company, address other issues before they’ve done damage to your reputation and brand, and continually position your company so that it gets excellent Google My Business ratings. And great GMB ratings translate into sales.

Google if fussy about their protocols…but so are we!

Connecting With Social Media Users

Customer Service. It’s as essential on social media as it is on the phone. People make comments and don’t always expect an answer. What if you reply? What if you address their concerns? Imagine their surprise if you proactively respond with a solution to their issue with your company? Imagine if you thank them for a great review? Talk about Customer Service!

Connecting with Social Media users is just as necessary for your business as answering their questions and concerns on the phone or in person. With our Reputation Management program, we can provide you with the information you need to effectively reach out to unhappy customers by finding them in the first place.

We can also give you the data needed to make changes in your brand marketing or traditional and online advertising campaigns by pointing out flaws or missing pieces, incorrect use of words or phrases. We can help with key advertising, marketing, and “sell” words. We can ascertain your target customer’s demographics and determine your designated geographic service areas. It’s all available through the thirteen05 Creative Reputation Management program.

Your company’s reputation is probably one of your most important assets. It can make or break your company. It directly influences decisions made by everyone your company encounters, whether it’s online, social media, or traditional advertising and marketing.

With state-of-the-art applications and a professional staff of digital experts, Thirteen05 Creative can assist you in building and maintaining your reputation. Give us a call today and find out why our Reputation Management program is second to none.
