Digital Marketing and SEO: Managing Your Reputation Online

Learn how to control your online reputation and create a search engine optimization strategy.

Learn how to counteract negative publicity for your clients.

Have you had to counteract negative publicity for your personal brand, your organization or your PR client online? What did you do? Did it work? If you had the opportunity to do it again, what would you do differently? What if you had a step-by-step plan to guide you to manage your online reputation or your PR client's reputation?

Online reputation management, also called ORM, refers to building, improving, or restoring your brand's name on the Internet. In this program, we will show you how to take control of your reputation online by employing various strategies that are both proactive and reactive (for any damage control needed).

ORM is more than just social media monitoring, but it isn’t a full-on PR campaign. It involves simple tools and techniques that any Women in PR can implement. Whether tackling negative Google search results, removing risky personal information on social media, or eliminating troubling images that shouldn't be online, ORM is essential to any brand’s image.

As Women in PR you need to understand how to manage your client's reputation.

When potential customers encounter a brand, the first place they’ll go to find more information about the company and its

products or services is the Internet. What’s more, they’ll believe what they read there and worse, they might spread the word. If someone’s first impression of your business is a bad review or negative comment, they may not investigate further.


In this program, you will...

  1. Create detailed guidelines for being proactive and avoiding negative online publicity before it occurs;
  2. Identify the key steps to online reputation management, and how to apply them specifically to your personal brand, organization or PR client's brand;
