How to improve your online presence

Posted on Wednesday July 31, 2019

The 21st century has ushered in a lot of technological advances and has given businesses new ways to reach customers. Using numerous platforms and tools, buyers can now interact with different companies and their products. To make a positive impression online, be sure to do these.

Be seen on search results

In his book on online reputation management, Tyler Collins, a digital marketing expert for Fortune 500 companies, mentions the importance of a company's search results that appear after pressing enter. These results make up a company's reputation online. 

If you want people to notice you, your organization should appear on the first 10 spots of the first page of the search results. That page should also have a variety of related content about your business like positive reviews, press releases, and customer testimonials that contribute to your credibility. 

Paint a clear picture of your brand

For entrepreneurs, it is best to establish a good online reputation before launching a business. Create a memorable brand, company name, and slogan to help your organization land on the top 10 search results. Thoroughly research potential brand names to ensure that the one you choose has no negative connotation. 

Get only the best

Employ the best people. Hire trustworthy key executives. Customers are not only interested in your products, but they also want to know the people behind them. Make sure that those leading the organization have a clean online reputation. 

To do this, create short biographies for each executive to help boost your company's search results. Aim for positive media coverage whenever possible. Everything from blog posts to press releases and memorable quotes will enhance the company's image. 

Don't be shy to ask for help
