2019 Is the Year of the Mobile First WebsiteApril 12, 2019 By EditorDon’t Lose Your Optimization!The search engines newest changes include mobile first websites.

How One Bad Review Can Affect You!May 7, 2018 By EditorHaving an online presence is a necessity for the modern business and medical practices. As a key driver of organic patient base growth, an up-to-date website serves as a marketing platform and tool for communicating with patients. Being on the web also presents certain challenges, such as managing your online reputation. Individuals are quick to search online for reviews of everything, from the products they buy to the individuals they request services from.General RatingsSites like Google, Facebook, Healthgrades, RateMD, and Yelp allow individuals to review the organizations and medical practices they interact with. These raw, unfiltered accounts of person to business interactions can prove useful in generating interest yet can also drive people away with a single poor review. A 1-star review can drastically reduce the average rating, especially when a practice has just begun the journey of building an online presence.A patient can write whatever they want, no matter what occurred during their appointment. A great visit can be portrayed online as a hostile and costly interaction. No matter how hard you try, people will eventually leave a sour remark on your online reputation.Reputation ManagementOMA Comp helps businesses thrive online.

What Should I Do about Phishing?December 22, 2015 By EditorCon artists use “phishing” to try to swindle you into providing sensitive, personal information. Usually, this is done by impersonating a business, authorities, or friend through email, phone, online ad, or text message. They often prey on your emotions inducing fear (you will be turned over for collections, money will be transferred out of your account, airline travel changed, friend or grandchild in trouble) or excitement (you won a grand prize, fabulous, free vacation).Legitimate businesses do not ask to send sensitive information through insecure channels. Businesses, banks and other institutions do not email, text, or call to ask for personal information.If something sounds strange or too good to be true, you may be a victim. Do not succumb just because someone knows some facts about you. Some of these crooks are rather well-versed and gain personal knowledge and use this information to gain your trust and access.How to Protect YourselfKeep your computers and tablets up-to-date with antivirus softwareUse the most current, updated operating system and web browsersNever reply or give out personal or financial information through insecure channelsDo not click on linksIf you think there may be legitimacy but are not sure, call the business or friend with a number that you have in your contacts or type in the real URL directly into your browser. Do not use the information provided in the phishing email, text or phone call.It is more important than ever to keep your technology updated and yourself aware, as predators are increasingly becoming more savvy and shrewd.What is your Question
