The Role of Online Reputation Management in Crisis Recovery

Online Reputation Management in Crisis Recovery

When a PR crisis occurs, negative news can spread rapidly across search engines and social media. Online reputation management (ORM) plays a crucial role in controlling the damage and rebuilding trust.


How a Crisis Can Affect Your Reputation

Loss of Customer Trust – Consumers avoid businesses with bad press.
Decreased Revenue – Negative search results impact sales and partnerships.
Long-Term SEO Damage – Google ranks negative news highly, keeping it visible.


Steps to Recover Your Reputation After a Crisis

1. Identify the Source of the Negative Content

  • Search your business or personal name on Google to see what ranks negatively.
  • Use Google Alerts to monitor new mentions.

2. Remove or Suppress Negative Content

  • Request takedowns from journalists, websites, or legal action if defamation applies.
  • If removal isn’t possible, use SEO tactics to suppress harmful content.

3. Publish Positive Press & SEO-Optimised Content

  • Release press statements addressing concerns.
  • Publish thought leadership blogs, case studies, and industry news.

4. Increase Engagement on Social Media

  • Share positive news updates to shift public perception.
  • Respond professionally to negative feedback.

5. Monitor & Maintain Your Online Reputation
