To a business, there is nothing more important than its online reputation and online public relations. Customer opinion and word-of-mouth can dictate the failure of a business; so it is important to have an understanding of what is being said, appropriately respond to the negative, and how to effectively market the positive.

Do you know what’s being said about your business. Anyone can post rumors and fake reviews online, any time — including competitors. And the longer negative material is on the Internet, the more damage it does — a recent study found that one bad online review can cut about 9% in revenues.

Lets look at some statistics here, where 97 percent of customers are conducting research online. So what that means is that if somebody’s looking for something, they’re not opening up the Yellow pages, they’re not driving around town, they’re going to a Web-enabled device, whether that be a computer or a Smartphone, laptop, whatever it is, they’re conducting research online.

See, there’s a silent killer stalking you and your business on the Web right now. And you may be his next target, because he’s looking to hijack your business sites and stop all potential visitors from calling you. You’re probably wondering, “Are you in his crossed-hairs and who exactly are these people that are targeting me?”

You need to know this because in the local search today – local, social, and mobile are all intersecting, placing you and your business right in the middle of all three. And what that allows is, it allows it to make it easy for anyone to just simply put on a mask and hide behind a computer and write a scathing review about your business.
