Ripoff report or other defamatory links can be very painful for a business. As a business or professional you have to protect your reputation from online spammers, scammers and unknown competitors. You never know who may intend to destroy your digital reputation by posting absurd things on discussion based websites or complaint sites. Now-a-days it takes mere second to post anything on internet with no trace of your identity involved. By the time you as a business come to discover about the conspirator the negative report would do enough damage to you and in some cases you might not be able anything with the person who intended to damage your reputation as there are certain acts including communications decency which covers most of the discussion/complaint websites and their users from any legal action. With such shields for ripoff report and their users filing a lawsuit may not be very helpful for an individual as there's roughly 20-30% chance of success.
With that being said there's always a way to protect your online status through professional online reputation management (ORM). ORM is a precautionary step to avoid any kind of undesired search engine results under your personal or business name. You may start doing it on your own or may hire a professional to do it for you. However, before hiring anyone make sure they have enough presence on internet and have a history of serving clients in the business because dealing with anonymous individuals can put your reputation in an absolute risk. Below are some basic steps you can follow to hire a professional ORM agency for you.
- Verify the validity of their website, address and phone number.
- Surf Google/Bing with their website/Company Name until page 4-5 to see if they have any negative reviews as you may not see it on page 1.
- Ask for any case study or work done previously to verify their skills.
- Stress on paying monthly fee rather than half-yearly or yearly fee.
It's a very basic criteria but is always helpful to choose your perfect ORM agency. A professional ORM firm will always create a strong strategy for you and will help display positive information on search engine as desired by you.
