Website reputation management - How people see you online

By Reputation X on 1/11/21 12:17 PM

Most "website reputation" articles are about spam scores, which is usually due to email abuse or a misconfigured DNS. This article is about how a websites' reputation is perceived in search and social results by people. 

Improve website reputation

"Location, location, location" has become "first page, first page, first page"

Back in the day of brick and mortar, enterprising businesspersons would always say “Location, location, location.” Fast forward to our currently emerging heyday of global communications and pride of placement still applies, except the first page of Google has replaced 5th Avenue as the placement of choice.

Modern reputation management is everything to a business; the information your former and future customers have access to when they type your name into Google (or speak it) spells the difference between your illustrious business success, or obscurity, infamy, and failure.

Restaurant Reputation Management: The Challenges Franchises Face

By Reputation X on 12/11/15 4:40 PM

Fast food restaurants occupy a special place in the dining ecosystem - at least when there isn't a pandemic happening. Restaurants get blamed if a waitress is having a bad day and lets some of her mood slip in front of guests.

Problems come either at the regional level as in the case of Chipotles E. coli snafu, or at the local level like when Domino's was sued over wire brush bristles found in a Dominos pizza. Both cases were dramatic and affected the overall brand.

But individual fast food restaurants can suffer a quieter, less dramatic online reputation problem - review decay. Some embrace a bad reputation, as in the case of Botto Italian Bistros' Yelp reviews, but most see a slow leak in prospective customers that can cost an individual restaurant thousands or more in lost revenue.
