How Industry Experts Guide Your Online Reputation Management
Our dedicated team of reputation consultants utilizes various strategies, including:
- Monitoring the client’s presence both online and offline
- Developing a strategy to elevate favorable narratives
- Communicating to make an impact on the target audience
- De-escalating controversy and preventing PR crises
Shaping Public Perception
Before a reputation-harming situation or PR crisis arises, your reputation consultant works to create and safeguard the client's public image. This includes:
- Defining the brand's unique selling point
- Emphasizing the brand’s strengths
- Ensuring the corporate image is the best it can be
To do this, reputation consultants will employ content marketing, search engine optimization, social media management, review management and other tactics to develop a credible and trustworthy backbone for the brand.
Public Relations
Consistency forms the foundation of a powerful brand image. Reputation consultants work with PR professionals to build and sustain a reputable standing for the client through targeted messaging.
It’s important that all company communications, including PR efforts, official statements, and marketing initiatives, align with brand values. A cohesive approach strengthens the brand's presence and builds consumer trust.
Reputation consultants take PR a step further by managing how a brand is portrayed in the media as well as anywhere it appears online, including forum discussions, online review platforms, search engine results pages and social media content. Combining PR with reputation management creates a holistic approach that considers the entire digital landscape.
Crisis Management
Today, controversies can erupt in an instant, fan the flames of existing tensions, and escalate beyond your control. Crisis management involves immediate expert involvement when a threat appears to minimize harm to the brand's reputation.
Reputation consultants are experts at rapidly gauging the impact of an issue, choosing the best modes of communication, and developing communications to reduce friction, instill confidence in key stakeholders, and preserve brand integrity.
During a crisis, your reputation consultant will refer to their pre-established action plans, select the most appropriate one, and tailor it to the situation at hand.
Feedback and Review Management
Between online reviews and social media activity, a brand’s public opinion is continually being shaped online via user feedback. Reputation consultants diligently track customer feedback platforms in real-time to learn about every new brand mention and review as it happens. Always being tuned in to the public sentiment allows reputation consultants to identify an issue before it spins out of control and develop appropriate responses to mitigate the damage.
Training Sessions for Your Team
Your reputation consultant is only part of your overall reputation management efforts. Everyone on your team plays a role, too, which is why they need expert-led training sessions.
Reputation consultants can hold training events to educate your employees and team leaders on the ins and outs of reputation management. With the right tools and insights, everyone’s efforts will be aligned to work together toward the brand’s goals.
