Clean Up Your Small Business's Online Reputation

How do you clean up your online reputation so the first thing prospects see when they Google you is negative feedback. Entrepreneur magazine's Sarah Jacobsson Purewal provides detailed advice.

"If you own a small or medium business, a good reputation -- online and offline -- is clearly key to your success. The stakes are also high for individuals, who can win or lose jobs based upon how they appear in Web search results.

The Internet can overwhelm users with information, so anything negative -- especially if it appears high in search results -- can have a drastically harmful effect on your success and how people see you."
