As web developers who provide ongoing SEO support for our clients, we are constantly thinking about and helping our clients with reputation management and search engine optimization. When someone types your name or your company’s name into google, you want to own as many of the results as possible. Your website, blog, facebook page, twitter page, linkedin page, Yelp listings, and other business profile pages should rank highly. We want the pages that we can control at the top, because the more search results you can control, the less likely and angry blog or questionable news article will show up on page one.

Wikipedia has become one of the most popular online reference sources, and many small business owners wonder if they can get a wiki-article for their business. After all, Coca Cola has one, Forbes Magazine, even smaller businesses like Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles have their own pages.
