Google Feature - A Nod to Reputation Management

By Katherine Jones


Google added a feature intended to help its subscribers to monitor their online reputation - giving them full control over which of the information the search engine finds about them are to be available and public.

The Google "Me on the Web" feature not merely helps people get a better grasp of their online image, it also allows them to literally figure out what other individuals will discover when their names get searched using the search engine.

It could be set to alert a particular person when his/her personal details which includes email address and phone number gets posted online so the individual can consider whether or not he/she wants that part of detail to remain published. It also provides a feature of giving alternatives for you to remove unwanted content. There are step-by-step procedures that have been listed but of course it would require the authorization of site webmaster to remove data on the website if it is not yours.

A lot of people think that Google keeps all the information for the things Google is able to show on the search results. However it's not the case. The sites are being monitored and controlled by website masters. That is the reason why it's always advisable to remove an unwanted data inside the source itself rather than immediately contacting Google. You can search for reputation management service that makes a specialty of this matter.

Google provides a URL removal tool which is made to remove URL's in the soonest possible time mainly because the URL's show personal information. It possesses its own rules before the tool can be used. As an example, if you own a site which contains incorrect data that you might want to remove, you can actually get rid of the information from your website and then you can use the URL removal tool to speed up its removal from Google's search engine results.

Reputation Management Authority (RMA) CEO James Schramko is certain that this can be a big aid to individuals who are worried about preserving their online identity. Many times, there have been instances when people fall victims of their own doings, especially on the web.

In reality, it has become a common incident among celebrities and public figures, whose social status make them regular targets for destructive claims and derisions that incite public uproar.

With due diligence, this Google feature can avoid these from happening to its users. More complicated measures of assuring one's online reputation stays clean, however, will still be better handled by accomplished reputation management firms like Schramko's RMA who focuses on reputation management services.
