One of the most important things a company has going for it is its reputation. If a company's reputation is tarnished, they can start to hemorrhage customers and be forced out of business in a relatively short amount of time. This creates a problem, especially for newer companies that haven't had a chance to prove themselves yet. Worse yet, if the company specializes in online sales or has a strong internet presence, a company's reputation can be damaged very quickly and easily by a small number of disgruntled customers that complain online.

The internet has given everyone who wishes to speak a voice, and in some cases this can be a very bad thing. It is human nature that we expect pretty much everything to go right. Since this is the case, most people that have problem free experiences with companies will typically remain quiet about their experience. After all, who wants to take the time to tell a person they did a good job? If a company even so much as makes a tiny mistake, however, a certain type of customer will do everything they can to throw that company under the bus. All it takes is one angry consumer with a bit of free time to ruin a company's credibility with a negative review.

How can a company prevent things like this from happening? One of the best ways is to look into reputation management. Companies and people that specialize in reputation management do everything in their power to restore a customer company's good image. How so? Well, typically, reputation management agencies are able to interject positive reviews into the mix on websites where negative reviews exist, and over time, push the negative reviews off of the front pages or at least discredit the negative reviews.

Reputation management companies often use things like search engine optimization and social networking to replace negative feedback and negative reviews given by angry customers. Online reputation management is used by companies to attempt to control the effect that negative reviews and negative customers have on the companies.
