<div class='uawarticle'>In this increasingly digital age, more and more people are turning to the Internet for information about businesses. Hopefully they will find pages created by you, the business owner, such as your website, your Facebook account, or your Twitter. Oftentimes they will also come across review websites such as Yelp! and Google + Local. Hopefully these sites are full of compliments about your business, but chances are there is at least one negative comment about your company. This is where reputation management comes in, the process of repairing and maintaining the online reputation of your business.<br />
<br />
Your online reputation is important for a multitude of reasons. Mainly, it is a potential customer's first impression of you and your business. Not having an online presence can be just as detrimental to your business as to having a negative presence. If customers are looking for a business such as yours in your area, and are unable to find information about you, it is likely that they will use another business. In order to prevent this, it is very important to claim your page on various review sites such as Yelp and Yahoo! Local. make sure your websites are relevant and updated. You should also become established on various social networking sites. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are extremely important.

Business owners must always be proactive with their online reputation. Try to resolve any issues that arise and respond to complaints in a professional manner. A response from a business owner shows that you truly care about the customer's experience with your business. You can also respond to compliments and thank the reviewer. Apply the feed back you get from your reviews and try to improve your business. You may also want to ask your current customers to review your business.<br />
<br />
Newer social networking sites, such as Pinterest and Instagram, won't show up when consumers perform an online search for your business. However, they can still help build a positive reputation.
