Online Branding and Reputation Management

Tip #1: Take control of negative keywords before your opponents do.
While you are focusing your efforts on optimizing your website for the best keywords, make sure that you are also making strides to find the keywords that could be used against you. These include misspellings of your company name, your company name used in hateful phrases and caricatures of your products.
Also, make sure that you take hold of everything that is meant to be yours online. For instance, if you have not registered your business with Google Places, your competition can take that listing and do whatever they want to with it. Make sure that they do not have the opportunity to do this.
Tip #2: Make sure that all correspondence that has to do with your company is communicating the same message.
The singularity of your message, down to the font size and the color scheme, is essentially important. No matter where your customer finds your message, he or she should be able to link it to the other instances of your message without too much thought. Otherwise your brand will be lost in the shuffle.
Tip #3: Analyze your opponents.
If you want to have the best reputation, then analyze what your opponents are doing wrong. Unbiased reviews are quite easy to find on any company that you want – reviews that will tell you exactly what you need to do in order to drive the customers of the competition your way.
