Frequently asked questions

What is online reputation management?

Online reputation management is the practice of actively monitoring and shaping how something is perceived on the internet.

Effective online reputation management can be used to help positively influence the public perception of people, organisations, and brands.

A reputation management company can support people, brands, and organisations with protecting their reputation through:

  • Monitoring online conversations and establishing public sentiment
  • Monitoring and addressing negative online reviews
  • Utilising SEO to counter negative content with positive content
  • Liaising with PR teams to navigate PR disasters
  • Collaborating with legal support to help mitigate crises

Yes, online reputation management can help with the suppression of negative search results in two ways:

  • Decreasing the visibility of negative search results

This can be achieved by implementing targeted Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategies which create and optimise positive or neutral high-authority assets, helping them to rank higher than the unwanted content.

As a result, online users see this more positive content first.

  • Removing negative search results completely

Online reputation management – often carried out in conjunction with specialist solicitor – can also help to remove negative content altogether, depending on the nature and complexity of the situation.

This can be attempted by making formal interventions against the publisher, such as:

  • Issuing cease-and-desist letters
  • Making take-down requests
  • Submitting defamation or privacy claims

Yes, in some cases, you may be able to get negative search results removed either through your own actions or via a specialist reputation management solicitor.

Getting negative online content removed often starts with reaching out directly to the publisher and asking them to take down the content.

If they refuse, you may wish to enlist legal support to issue formal interventions, such as cease-and-desist letters or pursue defamation or privacy claims.

However, if there’s no legal grounds for the content to be taken down, then you may want to consider alternative online reputation management strategies, such as SEO and digital PR.

The first step to fixing your online reputation starts with speaking to an experienced online reputation management company like Aqueous Digital.

We’ll take the time to understand your specific circumstances and recommend the most suitable approach – whether that involves working in collaboration with a PR specialist or solicitor, or creating and executing a comprehensive SEO strategy.

Working with lawyers and PR agencies.

Depending on the nature and complexity of the online damage, for a more complete and comprehensive approach it may be necessary to work closely with a specialist reputation management solicitor.

In many cases we also work with a PR specialist or agency to support essential media relations activity to counter any negative press coverage, and help restore your image, and brand, back to where it should be.
