Can Negative Info Be Removed

February 15th, 2011 admin No comments

Reputation Management firms, including our firm ReputationFriendly.com, generally use the term “Remove”. For example you will see ads online for reputation management websites that say “Remove Rip Off Reports” or “Remove Complaintsboard”. The term “Remove”, in most instances, refers to the process of “Removing” online complaints and negative links from search engine results such as Google.

In most cases, but not all, it is highly unlikely that a reputation management firm can make or force a blogger or website owner to actually delete or permanently remove your online complaints from the internet. There are some cases where we have had information deleted and most of those cases were violating copyrighted material.

Why the reputation industry uses the word or term “Remove” so much is because that is what people use when searching for a service like ours. When someone finds a website that has something bad about them on it, their first instinct is I WANT THIS REMOVED, so they jump on Google and search “how to remove XYZ” or “Remove XYZ”.

Even an attorney can not force most websites to remove (DELETE) negative information. Sure, and attorney may tell you that they will work on the case for you and give you false hopes, but the fact remains that most websites are protected by certain laws like the CDA, Freedom of Speech, International Loop-Holes, and others.

It is very uncommon to force a website to delete something or compellng them into doing so. In some cases even asking for it to be removed will cause them to talk about the situation online even more, thus adding fuel to the fire that you are trying to put out.

If you can hire a Reputation Management firm to help you bury or hide the negative links on search engines, the complaint links are as good as gone. The safest place for a complaint link is past pages 3 on search engine results. Statistically only a small fraction of internet users go past page 1 and 2 on search engines. If you can push negative links back to page 3 or deeper and have informative information on the first to pages of Google about you or your firm then you have accomplished your goal.

ReputationFriendly.com offers reputation management services to all industries and internationally. You can contact ReputationFriendly.com at 888-404-4115

ReputationFriendly.com has helped dozens of clients deal with Yelp

November 12th, 2010 admin No comments

Having negative and bad Yelp reviews about your business can be frustrating. Dealing with Yelp.com can also be very frustrating. Yelp is notorious for filtering positive reviews and allowing negative ones to show on your profile page.

ReputationFriendly.com has helped dozens of clients deal with Yelp and disassociate their business name from Yelp.

Chances are if you are listed on yelp and have a low rating or negative reviews, the Yelp page about you will rank high on Google and other search engines. When potential clients see these negative reviews it may prevent them from doing business with you. Another concern about having negative reviews on yelp that rank high on Google is that these reviews act as an open invitation for others to leave a review also.

There is no way to force yelp in to removing or filtering bad reviews. The only option is to bury Yelp and make it rank lower on search engines.

ReputationFriendly.com Plans New Packages

September 27th, 2010 admin No comments

Recent ReputationFriendly.com News:

The online reputation management company ReputationFriendly.com that opened its doors in 2009 and offers $99 monthly reputation management packages for business and individuals has plans to offer additional reputation management plans. The $99 per month price model is very attractive to small businesses and individuals due to the low monthly payments option.

ReputationFriendly.com promotes the $99 per month price model to most clients but sometimes recommends that clients with major online complaints and reputation issues pay an additional fee to help boost positive results.

Reputation Friendly’s plan to expand the pricing model will likely take place by Oct. 30 2010. The $99 per month monthly plan will still be available and recommended for most clients. ReputationFriendly.com decided to offer 2 additional reputation management packages because it is almost impossible to only charge $99 per month and get results for every client. Some clients have such a negative image online they need special attention.

ReputationFriendly.com does not want potential clients to get the wrong idea about the price expansion; the expansion will simply offer 2 additional monthly pricing options along with the original $99 per month plan. ReputationFriendly also wants to make it clear that the original $99 per month plan still packs a massive punch and will be the most popular package recommended to clients.  To date the $99 per month plan has helped over 300 clients with their online reputation issues.

The additional monthly plans to be offered include a $299 per month plan and a $499 per month plan, each with its own benefits. The new aggressive plans will give ReputationFriendly.com an additional budget to purchase link building campaigns, additional domains, promotional links, and more for clients that need special attention.

ReputationFriendly.com stated that current clients on the $99 per month plan have no need to upgrade due to the fact that they would not have allowed a company that they thought they could not help sign-up in the first place. If a current client’s online complaints have increased and they need special attention they are welcome to upgrade at anytime.

Keep an eye out for the new monthly plans and feel free to contact http://www.ReputationFriendly.com at 1-888-404-4115 for more information on their $99 per month reputation management package.
