One always needs to create a business plan before starting a new business endeavor. The same applies to the situation when business growth is taken into consideration. In every situation marketing plays an important role especially in modern days when everything's on the Internet.
Your small business' website resides on the Internet forming a true Web portal to the brick and mortar business. The thing is that not only your business is online but the reputation of that as well.
A company's online reputation can be a determining factor when one shapes the success of that particular business. As such, organizations have to be proactive when it comes to creating the reputation they want. Planning a strategy for such is mandatory.
So, where does one begin planning strategies for managing reputation online?
Well, by using appropriate tools. Prevention is better than a pound of cure! This idiom applies to reputation management strategies as well. Keep an eye on the Web closely. Jot down anything and everything people say about your company.
There are certain online tools for such purposes:
  • Google Alerts
  • Hootsuite
  • Socialmention
  • Diverse blog monitoring services

Keep in mind that there's no tool at the time of writing this article that can monitor everything. Use the above social media tracking tools without restraint, and make judgments as you see fit. Utilize knowledge and experience coupled with common sense when you analyze findings.
Try spotting individuals who exert influence. Influencers are people who can produce strong effects on others: industry experts, celebrities or popular bloggers. The previously mentioned monitoring tools can help one identifying such persons. Nurture those influencers because when it comes to online reputation they can have decisive roles in forming the "general perception". A good way to do this is by supplying them interesting information about your business way before that info reaches the public.
Asking for reviews from loyal and satisfied customers is another great way to grow confidence level for your products or services. Positive reviews can increase loyalty of existing customers, and draw the attention of new ones.
Online reputation management is a very complex process, however it is indispensable to your business' success. In order to make the most of your online reputation it is highly advisable to seek the help of qualified and competent professionals.
What’s done can’t be undone. True! But it is certainly possible to manage your online reputation via using some simple SEO techniques. The damage is already done but minimizing its impact is entirely in your hands. [ source: SEO For Online Reputation on Szfarli.com/blog ]
