Avoid the consequences of a bad reputation

At ATAK Nordic, we have over 10 years of experience in online reputation management, and we know how serious the consequences can be if negative coverage connected to your name remains visible in Google’s search results.

If there is negative content about you and your name on Google, you risk damaging your career opportunities, future professional connections and even your company’s chances of success.

Entrepreneurs are under pressure

If you are a self-employed entrepreneur, negative coverage of your name can damage your company’s brand immensely. The more unique your name is, the easier it can be for Google to connect negative content with your business.

A YouGov survey shows that 78% trust online reviews, and 82% search for information before deciding whether to make a purchase or enter into a partnership. As many as 70% avoid companies with a bad reputation online. Negative coverage can therefore have a significant impact on revenue if you do not remove your name from Google and the internet in general in cases of bad publicity.

At ATAK Nordic, we specialise in Online Reputation Management and can help you address negative coverage, so that future customers choose you – not your competitor.

Gambling with future career opportunities

If you hold a senior position in a company that has been caught in a media storm, you may risk your name being linked to the company’s negative publicity. This negative coverage can follow you into future career opportunities because, unfortunately, the internet never forgets.

Today, headhunting takes place largely online. If your name appears in connection with negative coverage, a headhunter is highly likely to move on to the next candidate on the list: someone who does not have a bad reputation online.

A company can never know when it might end up in a media storm. However, both employees and companies can take steps to protect themselves against potential customer loss or declining revenue caused by negative online coverage. ATAK Nordic can help with Proactive Reputation Management and work to remove your name from Google and the internet where possible.
