 If you have found yourself being the subject of an online reputation attack, with lies being spread about you over the internet, you will find that the most effective way of dealing with such menace is to simply ask that the website owner or the Internet Service Provider remove the libellous statements. Normally website owners and internet service providers are not willing to tolerate online abuse and have no interest in getting involved in litigation which has probably got nothing to do with them anyway.Experience tells us that direct requests to remove defamatory postings from websites can sometimes deliver good results without lawyers being involved in the matter at all. “ |

Good reputation plays a major part in every company’s marketing plan, and some businesses almost solely relay on their good online reputation to acquire new work. You take the online reputation away from them and their business is finished.
Even those small businesses who have not yet found a way to incorporate the internet into their marketing strategy, are nevertheless exposed to reputation attacks online by unsatisfied customers and by competitors.

IMAGINE a customer who came to you through a ‘word of mouth’ referral and who did a simple Google search against your company, let’s say just to find the address. Imagine that the first results that this person sees on Google contain pages of negative comments about your company. Are you likely to hear from this customer again? You know what the answer to this question is; you don’t need us to tell you.
So once you discover that there are online threats to your reputation, what exactly are you going to do about it and how would you make sure that the damage does not spread across the internet and that your next ‘word of mouth’ client does not see the same results appearing when searching for your company on the internet? How would you make the comments to disappear off the face of cyberspace? And what if the comments have in the meantime been copied and distributed over the internet, on blogs and forums? How quickly would you be able to restore your reputation and how much would it cost you to do so? Some serious food for thoughts.
| "There is an old saying that “the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging”. If you discover that your online reputation has been tarnished on a rough website and that bad results are appearing against your name upon every Google search, do yourself a favour and overcome the natural tendency of constantly clicking on the link to the bad result. A defamatory remark on the internet is similar to a toothache – we feel almost a compulsive need to touch and feel the pain – in case it has already gone without us noticing it. Sadly, with defamatory remarks on the internet, the more you click the more powerful they become. Google gives priority to popularity. So every click makes the bad comment more dominant and in Google’s view also more important, which means that the defamatory remark will constantly be climbing up the search engine ladder with more people seeing it. When people see a link to a defamatory page against them, they tend to tell friends and family about it with the result that the link to the bad comment becomes very popular. The more people click on the link to see what is being said about their friend/family, the more likely it is that the link will remain at the top of the search engine. So remember that the first step to getting out of a hole is to stop digging. An internet law expert will use special tools to examine the link and the defamatory page regularly without actually adding to its popularity. So if you are unfortunate enough to have enemies who have taken upon themselves to defame your character online – make sure you don’t tell the world about it and take legal advice from an internet law expert as soon as possible." |

Basically, the longer you leave it the more difficult it will become to fix the problem and the more it will cost you to do so.
| "Everyone needs to have a few blogs or ‘mini websites’ on the back burner. It is like having an army of loyal soldiers, all well trained and ready to fight the enemy upon demand. These mini websites can be activated with positive content about your company as soon as you feel that a reputation attack is imminent. By populating these mini websites you will help to push any negative web pages down the search engines. Because it could take weeks and sometimes months for web pages to be indexed by the search engines, I always advise to have these blogs, or mini websites already prepared, indexed and ready to go on demand. Speak to your internet people today and ask them to create a few basic websites for you straight away, just in case..... " |

There are 3 stages where you can take action to defend your Online Reputation. Take action early and you are likely to succeed in protecting your Online Reputation at little or no costs at all.

| "Online reviews can be regarded as defamation of character whenever one or more parts of a review is factually inaccurate or is misleading. By not telling the whole story, the author of the review may create an impression which is far from being a reflection of the true position. Aggrieved customers tend to put forward a one sided story about their experience with a vendor which means that readers of the review are not being told the whole truth. The best way to get rid of a bad review which you feel contains an element of defamation is to send a letter to the moderators or the owners of the website where the defamatory material is listed, explaining that as only a short part of a long story was told through the review..."

You have to nip it in the bud and act swiftly towards every risk to your online reputation and by ‘swiftly’ we mean within hours or maximum days. You can have comments completely removed from a single website if they are defamatory and there are a number of ways of achieving this, some of which are fairly simple. You can try and do it yourself by writing to the website owners and ask for the defamatory content to be removed from their website and in many cases this helps to resolve the issue. You can also hire a solicitor to deal with this on your behalf to make sure that your requests are effective and are taken seriously. Solicitors who are versed in this area of law might charge you whatever they feel their service is worth for you. Here, we normally eliminate the First Online Reputation Damaging Signal for a fixed fee so you know exactly where you stand and what results to expect.
We take an approach of a medical clinic and treat the first online reputation damaging signal as a spreadable disease.

This time, we are talking about a disease which has already started to spread. This needs to be dealt with by carrying out a Clinical Surgery’ and/or by the development of a Clear Legal Strategy to deal with the problem. The aim is to save the patient (your business) with as little damage as possible to important organs (your business reputation and marketing systems) and to facilitate rehabilitation which means making sure that the disease does not recur.
A Clinical Surgery will involve giving some treatment to your website in connection with the damaging comment. The goal is to ‘push down’ in the search engines results which contain the damaging comments. To do so we engage with specialist companies that we trust and which are focussed on fixing the problem rather than on your wallet. We pick the people we work with very carefully. Our reputation is important to us.
The Clear Legal Strategy that as internet lawyers we prefer to use to restore your online business reputation, is always focused on the end results. The goal is to move away from reacting to being proactive in defending your online reputation. Your reactions to negative comments about your business might do more harm than good as this could escalate the problem and could contribute to the rapid spread of the disease.
At the same time, ignoring defamatory remarks online could also cause damage because they allow untrue, negative comments to go unanswered. Each case therefore must be carefully analysed and action must be taken in line with the nature of your business and the nature of the threat. Only experience can tell you what the right strategy is to win back your right to online reputation and you have to be careful that your relative lack of experience in this field, of Online Reputation Management can easily result in you following the wrong strategy for your business and this is too much of a risk for you to take.
| If you run a small family business, you might find it more difficult to devote resources towards protecting your online business reputation. This is understandable but neglect, however, of your business online reputation could end up devastating your entire business leaving your family without an income for the foreseeable future. This is exactly what happened to Jeff Clark, a father to three young children, who used to run a very successful trading business until her fell victim to a vicious online attack by no other than his main competitor.

At this stage we do recommend that you see an Online Reputation Strategist or speak to an internet lawyer. You can find a few of them online. Here, we tailor a strategy to defend your online reputation and find and implement ways to start restoring your online reputation for a fixed fee, again to ensure that even small businesses can afford protecting their online reputation and also for you, to know exactly where you stand. What is for sure is that if you find yourself at Stage 2, where the spread of the online reputation damage disease is in advance stages, you will need to pay more money to get it fixed than if you caught the problem at stage 1 where the first online reputation damaging signal appeared.
| If at the moment the battlefield where you fight for your good reputation is based online and those on the other side, appear to have a reasonably good understanding of the battleground and of the basic tools and ammunitions which are required to cause you maximum damage, you might want to seriously consider moving the battlefield to elsewhere where it will be harder for your reputational enemies to fight back. In other words, so long as the battle is fought online, your reputational enemies feel that they have almost supernatural powers to orchestrate deadly reputational attacks against you. Remember, the online battlefield is a magical world, where single individuals can replicate themselves continuously and where cowards may turn fearless over-night, just by staring at a computer screen. Instead, if you turn the light on your reputational enemies, you will at once strip them of all their supernatural powers. By simply declaring that you have decided to move the reputational battlefield offline, to the real earthy world, you will be able to get rid of almost all your reputational menaces. |
Stage 3 (you really don’t want to get there) The Court Battle to Save Your Online Reputation.
In most cases, issuing court papers will sort the problem out at once. However, on many occasions if you find yourself having to resort to the Courts to defend your online reputation it means that you must have by now sustained some serious financial damage as a result of the defamatory remarks. Latest legal decisions worldwide tend to side with the business whose reputation has been damaged. However, the costs which are involved in such battles can be quite high as you might imagine.
The good news is that those sorts of cases tend to settle out of court and just before the legal costs are spiralling out of control. You might find yourself in this situation where you fight court battles to save your online reputation if you failed to effectively deal with the defamatory remarks at stages 1 and 2. You now might need to pay a high price for not being able to deal with the threats at early stages. But you can rest assured, that online reputation can be repaired and regained and if the court considers it to be irreparable, with effective legal representation you can win substantial damages to reflect the losses that you have sustained as a result of the defamatory remarks.
We work relentlessly to keep you away from the courts. We believe that in most cases, actual legal proceedings can be prevented.
| Creating a basic blog, with information about the services and products that your business offers, can help you create defence shields all around your business reputation. You can start your own business blog in minutes using WordPress or Blogger and turn it into a very powerful weapon in your fight against online defamation. If you post information about changes, updates or offers, which relate to your business or your particular industry, you will have an endless amount of information to write about, without the need to be super creative yourself. With every post that you dispatch on the internet your reputational defence shields become harder to penetrate. Post regularly and your blog will be established by the internet search engines as a source of fresh and relevant information, which means the content of your choice will be prominently viewed by your target market. If however, you decide to take no action, this prominence within the search engines is likely to be given to posts about your business, which had been despatched by others, possibly by your enemies. |

"I had approached several solicitors about taking on our case before I was told about you, each one was negative and very pessimistic...""Yair, thank you and your colleagues for the excellent work you have done for me over the past year.Everyone I spoke to was well informed and incredibly helpful. I felt I was in really good hands and valued your advice. I had approached several solicitors about taking on our case before I was told about you, each one was negative and very pessimistic about our chances. It is thanks to you and your team that we were so successful in recovering not only what was owed but costs too. I want to thank you again and to assure you that I will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and colleagues, should the need arise." Dr D. Dawson, Rhodes Farm |
"My mind was totally at rest when I emerged from Yair's office because I knew I had received great advice from a thorough professional.""I received advice from Yair Cohen about a matter involving a very devious person who was giving me a lot of stress. Yair very swiftly and incisively identified the key issues involved, showed me what I needed to do to defend myself, and in less than an hour I had the exact tools I needed to deal with the matter. The end result was that after a year of headaches my matter was resolved. My mind was totally at rest when I emerged from Yair's office because I knew I had received great advice from a thorough professional. I've kept the firm's card ever since, and if ever I need legal advice again, Bains Cohen solicitors will be the first number I ring." Alice Wickham, South East London |
