Editor's Notes
- One of the things that all marketers should do is Search Engine Reputation Management. This can be as simple as running searches on your company name and any key product brand names to see what shows up in the results. We’ve heard from a number of companies that have seen leads or sales drop off unexpectedly. Sometimes, after digging into every possible problem for a week or two, someone will think to check the search engine results and see a negative mention of the company in a blog post or on a social media or review site. It’s important to know what your prospective customers, employees, vendors and investors see when searching for information about your company. If there’s a conversation going on about your brand, you should probably participate in that conversation. And, you may want to try to optimize additional web content to rank high so it pushes the negative mentions lower in the search results – perhaps to the second page – so fewer people will see it.
