Companies that try to establish a strong Internet presence and build trust among consumers often overlook the importance of reputation management.

NEW YORK, NY - March 4, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Based in New York and Washington, DC, notable industry authority in reputation management and public relations, ICMediaDirect shares first-class advice on some of the most powerful ways of influencing online reputation and its impact on personal and business success. For more than 20 years, the reputation experts have been offering brand repair services to elite individuals and Fortune 500 companies and improving their online status.

Companies that try to establish a strong Internet presence and build trust among consumers often overlook the importance of reputation management. Local business directories make it easy for customers to review their personal experience with a brand, and corporations should remain aware of how their enterprise is observed by potential clientele. According to the professionals at ICMediaDirect, “what people say about your company has become the most significant reflection of your reliability and services. In essence, you are what people find about you online.” It is important for companies to evaluate customer reviews and adequately address any negative feedback. 70 percent of buyers admit to being affected by online disapproval by others before making their own purchase, and any criticism might deter them from selecting the products or service offered by a specific company. There are many ways of handling negative reviews, and ICMediaDirect outlines the best approach of responding quickly to rectify any issues offline. “Negative feedback shouldn't be taken lightly, as it can help brands identify their weak points and improve the quality of their daily business operations,” says a spokesperson for ICMediaDirect.

Brand repair should be an essential part of a business’ marketing strategy due to the significant impact of a negative online reputation and its direct effect on previous marketing efforts. When customers go online to learn more about a company or product, discovering bad reviews almost always drives them to a competitor. When no such information is available from real customer reviews, consumers often choose not to take any risk and do not complete transactions for potential sales.

Founded in 1996, ICMediaDirect is the leading provider of online reputation and brand repair services. Being two years older than Google, ICMediaDirect offers revolutionary reputation management strategies that help companies and individuals rank better on search engines and project a positive image through a mix of media channels.
