Having 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 Ratings
Sites 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 Management

Recently video hosting giant YouTube has brought forth a new kind of monitoring system people can use to screen comments on their videos. The system, which was debuted to a key number of users on Tuesday, teams up with a user’s Google+ account to better filter comments based on relevancy and value according to the user and the video. A similar method that Facebook has with it’s commenting process, it allows a user to tailor how their video feed looks, and thus how it is portrayed in the world. No more spam, no more profanity.
