WHAT IS AN ONLINE REPUTATION?

What do you think about it? I know some people thinks, it’s their image on the social media network. But I would like to say that it’s your online entity that describes you and about your products, how qualitative they are.

The Reputation of a social entity (a person, a social group, an organization) is an opinion about that entity, typically a result of social evaluation on a set of criteria. It is necessary for business, education, online communities, and many other fields. __ Wikipedia

First, one is complaining about social media. People mostly update their status with their feedback about the product. But this is not a big issue, these types of content can easily trace and deleted.

The second one is “Online reputation bomb” (Term from Kissmetrics). This can damage your reputation on the high level which effects your sales for the long term. These results mostly appear in the Google search results. They are:

• Negative reviews: There are many review website available on the internet which allow the customer to review any brand or product with their experience with the product and services. If someone post negative content about your brand, it will effect your brand reputation for sure. There are some websites like Ripoff Reports, Pissed Consumer that provide the best platform for this kind of negative content.
• Hate sites: Some more frustrated customer go beyond from negative reviews and develop a website with some false information or their opinions about the service or company. It can damage the brand reputation of any business.
• Negative Media Coverage: I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t want publicity. But Phineas T. Barnum says,

It is also a well-working technique to improve your reputation online. If someone complain or leave negative feedback, you should respond him. Here, I am going to share some responding to bad reviews tips:

• Apologize for the bad experience
• Never accuse the reviewer of being wrong or exaggerating
• Offer to discuss by phone to resolve the situation
