Personal Reputation Management

Reputation management is a practice that more and more businesses are using to manage their business reputation as comments left on social media profiles, negative online reviews, and PR crises can all damage the reputation of a company. If you are like most individuals, you do not have members of the press slandering your name on a daily basis, and you do not have anyone spreading untrue rumors about you online. However, you should not make the mistake of thinking that it reputation management is only beneficial for businesses.

Personal reputation management is necessary for everyone, as there are a number of situations that will require one to have a sterling reputation online. Whether you are applying for a job, undergoing a background check, or simply being Googled by a new dating partner’s best friend, you will want to have a clean online reputation. If you have a common name, then the actions of someone else with the same name will show up in your personal search results and impact your reputation. Meanwhile, it is not normal for an individual to have very little content show up about himself or herself in Google, so others will be suspicious if they see too few search results for your name.

What is Personal Reputation Management?

There are several elements present in successful personal reputation management efforts but the key is to focus on content. Everything that you write, or that an online reputation management firm like Reputation911 writes for you, should portray you positively and help to strengthen or re-build your reputation on the web. This content should appear in locations like:

• Social media profiles
• Blogs
• Personal websites
• Content hosting sites

You should make sure that the content is not only well-written and properly formatted, as poorly written content will impact your reputation, but that it is also search engine optimized so your first two pages of search results are protected from any negative content.
