The Definitive Guide to Online Reputation Management | KissMetrics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

There are a lot of misconceptions about online reputation management. Some people think it’s just social media monitoring, while others believe it has something to do with public relations, and still others literally have no idea how it can impact business and sales.

 

In this guide, I’m going to explain the role of online reputation management in today’s business and media landscape. Companies of every size can benefit from having a clear outline of its main concepts.

These companies are strolling unprotected through a minefield that might one day destroy a cherished brand or lead angry regulators to their doorstep.

 

According to survey results from the Altimeter Group, nearly “two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation.” But 60% of those companies deliver social media training and expectations to their employees only once - upon their hiring - or don’t bother to train their employees about social media at all.

 

That’s a pretty big group, especially since other reports peg the proportion of U.S. companies using some sort of social media at 80%.

“Companies are often aware of the risks at some level, but instead of taking specific concrete actions, they cross their fingers and hope that they dodge the bullet,” wrote Alan Webber in the report....
