One of our main services is the Online Reputation Defender. To begin with, we would like to describe and explain what exactly Online Reputation Defender is. Online Reputation Defender is a reactive Online Reputation Management service. Why is it reactive? Because we are building step by step, together with you an effective online reputation, by ensuring a positive message over the Internet when people Google for your name, services, products or any other important keyword, after identifying online reputation issues, negative results in the search engines.  Like this, you will dominate the first pages of Google by promoting your personal or corporate brand. Without an effective Online Reputation Management strategy, many individuals and especially companies receive negative results in Yahoo, Google, MSN which could be causing immeasurable damage. We try to minimize this damage!

The main idea is NOT to simply push down negative Google results, but to ENGAGE and understand why those negative results appear in the search engines. It is very tricky to decide how to handle negative results. This will be established by our Communication Specialists together with the client. Most of the Online Reputation Management companies don't engage negative results and this kind of strategy could backfire against the customers, against their company and ultimately  against their market share and profits.  It is useless to have a clean online reputation as long as your customers are unhappy and constantly write about this. Sooner or later these negative results will rank in Google and if they don’t rank, they will influence for sure other potential customers. You can’t simply ignore this category of clients! Ignoring a client and its demands it’s never a smart solution. Online Reputation Defender comes to rescue!

Win back clients with Online Reputation Defender! It’s all about Relationship Marketing. Relationship Marketing is the process of attracting, maintaining, and enhancing relationships with key people. An angry customer who spreads bad reviews about your company is a key person. Why? Because in the physical world, if you make a customer unhappy, this customer will share his bad experience to  five friends, but on the Internet he will share it to other 5000 people, according to specialty studies. Customer relationships are key to your marketing strategy. We use a Relationship Marketing based approach in our Online Reputation Management process and business dealings in order to develop long term relationships with customers and try to retain them.
