Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 06, 2013
ShinyReputation.com released their opinion today on an article from CNBC regarding the repercussions of negative reviews and how written defamation is plaguing one Virginian business owner. SR also provides insight into the steps that any business can take to eliminate the effect of harsh words from an angry patron.
In a suit filed last year in Fairfax County Circuit Court (Case No. 2012-16249), one woman is being mandated to change her Yelp review that she wrote about a contracting company. It was said, she made false claims about the business and in the end caused the plaintiffs to lose work opportunities as well as harmed the plaintiff's reputation. Unfortunately, it only takes one false claim to bring about an array of problems.
ShinyReputation.com recommends starting with these tips should an owner find their business in a similar situation:
- Allocate an employee or set time aside to use monitoring services and keep track of all the reviews, positive or negative, being posted.
-Keep vigilant of discriminatory or false remarks being made on the reviews through Yelp.
-Should false information be posted about employees or a business and regular means of conflict solving don't work consider taking legal measures.
