Is there any difference when using a reputation protection expert in United States of America (USA) compared to having the staff working on this internally?

Should you employ professionals from a reputation protection expert in United States of America (USA) or is it better to use internal resources at the house to take care of reputation protection in the company?The questions you need to ask yourself needs to be addressed in a thoughtful way. In this article I will highlight some of the things you should be aware of before deciding whether a reputation protection expert can be useful or whether it is better using internal staff in the company at the local branch office in United States of America (USA).

Use of your own employees in United States of America (USA) to manage projects outsourced to the reputation protection expert

Often, people in the United States of America (USA)-office can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what you might expect from a reputation protection expert far away or what the people at the headquarters of your organization are aware of. Although, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the reputation protection expert. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be discussed.

The project you are thinking of setting out to a reputation protection expert can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time spent and resources

Putting the work out to a reputation protection expert can certainly pay off, but it is still important that there are available resources that can handle this in a proper way on the part of the organization. If you already have limited resources, it is unlikely that this type of task will receive sufficient focus and attention from in-house staff without adequate resources dedicated to handling the reputation protection. The reputation protection expert knows that these things are time-consuming and are knowledge-intensive, so they have dedicated the resources necessary to handle the project in a responsible and thorough manner. It has always been clear to me that it is you who know your service and your market best, so if you have the resources needed, it is definitely the best thing to do it yourself. This is something that must be carefully considered before making a decision on how to proceed with reputation protection.

Good reputation protection tools

There are some things you need to be aware of when using a reputation protection expert – whether this is handled by local staff in United States of America (USA), or centrally at the headquarter. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.

Google Alerts

To be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google’s notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in United States of America (USA) are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.

Ranks.nl

Ranks.nl has many professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the reputation protection expert you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.

Majestic.com

Majestic SEO is the world’s largest link index. You can use this tool to find out everything you need to know about links to your own pages and what your competitors locally in United States of America (USA) are doing, or what national and international competitors are up to. Links to your website and subpages are crucial to your search engine rankings, so this is important to keep tabs on.
