/24-7PressRelease/ - TORONTO, CANADA, September 03, 2008 - 9th sphere launches an Online Reputation Management service as an answer to the upsurge in online social networks and public forums that have made it easier than ever to impact or damage a company's reputation through online "word-of mouth".
"We're introducing a new opportunity for companies and individuals to cultivate their public online image." says Ezra Silverton, 9th sphere's Marketing Director.
When prospective clients want to learn more about a company they will often type the company name into a search engine and look for the official company website. Among the search results they may also come across comments and reviews from other websites about the company. Some of these remarks may turn out to be negative, if not damaging to the company's reputation. Even if the legitimacy of these types of claims is questionable, a company's integrity can then and there be compromised.
Social networks, blog and forums can even be a powerful tool in the hands of a disgruntled client or past employee.
9th sphere's Online Reputation Management service incorporates a series of strategies invested in suppressing this type of negative content from readily popping up in search engine inquiries.
Online Reputation Management is the latest addition to 9th sphere's results-driven solutions as both a corrective and a pro-active answer to managing online content. "We have been doing this for years, using tactics such as search engine optimization and social media marketing, but didn't formalize reputation management as a service till now." Ezra explains.
9th sphere's new service targets not just businesses and individuals who have been slandered but those with a healthy reputation who want to show it off, as well.
When a company receives praise for its exceptional service or products, Online Reputation Management can be a beneficial solution to generating prime search-result visibility for the positive feedback. "If people are saying great things about you, let it be known. At that point, even a one-off criticism is less effective amongst soaring reviews." Ezra concludes.
Clients, who utilize 9th sphere's Online Reputation Management service, also benefit from the company's Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, and Social Media Marketing solutions.
