Reputation Management For your st. petersburg business

One dissatisfied customer. One complaint or bad review published online. That’s all it takes in today’s Social Media world. It can ruin your company’s reputation overnight. Or tarnish the brand you’ve tried so hard to build over the years. 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. Your loss is their gain.

Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. Linkedin. Every single one of these social media sites can destroy your business with one bad review. A negative comment. A criticism. An unhappy customer.

If you have an online presence serving St. Petersburg and its surrounding areas, you need the expertise of thirteen05 Creative.

At thirteen05, we pride ourselves in bringing together a team of online digital media specialists, website builders, software creators, copywriting experts, and sales leaders so that we can help you and your company with your online marketing strategies, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), hosting and maintenance, keyword infused content, IT strategies, and Reputation Management.

WHAT IS REPUTATION MANAGEMENT?

Simply put, Reputation Management is a process by which our staff 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 concentration, and in-depth knowledge of which sites bad reviews and comments can be posted on, 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. 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, whether they’re true or not. And until you start losing business or hearing from a potential customer that they’ve read about your “issues”, you might never even know they exist.

That’s where we come in.

Let’s Clean Up Your Website

Do you keep your content current or is it 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? Have staff members changed? Have you moved to new offices? It’s not easy keeping up with online updates!

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 professionally manage your company’s reputation.

Old looking or just plain bad photos or website colors that make the type hard to read, outdated information, boring content, or content that doesn’t “sizzle” 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 website.

Catching any articles or press releases about your company is on the list of things to do as well. You want to keep the “news” pertinent. Articles in the media or trade magazines about your company 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 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 and focus the narrative about your company, address any other issues before they’ve done damage to your reputation and brand, and continually position your company so that it gets excellent Google Business Profile ratings. And great GBP ratings translate into $ales.

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