Online Reputation Management
Online Reputation Management
Online Reputation Management is integral to shaping a positive online image for brands. Addressing negatives, fostering positive reviews, and monitoring brand mentions are key elements, and maintaining a favourable online perception is critical for sustained success in today’s digital landscape. As the online space evolves, ORM becomes a strategic necessity for building trust and credibility among the digital audience.
In the MENA region, where internet use is soaring, ORM is crucial. The statistics reveal that over two-thirds of consumers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, as over 81% of consumers are likely to check Google reviews first, and 74% affirm that reviews significantly increase trust in a company. A positive online reputation attracts and retains customers, boosts sales, and enhances loyalty.
