How One Bad Review Can Affect You!

OMA Comp How One Bad Review Can Affect You

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

OMA Comp helps businesses thrive online. We understand that it is not enough to launch a website and hope for it to drive business. Actively managing a site and the associated online profiles is critical to making an impact on the practice’s bottom line. By scanning the internet for poor representations of your business’s quality of service, we can actively prevent malicious reviews. Our deep understanding of content management practices enables us to rapidly respond to these incidents.

If your practice or business needs help managing its online presence, we invite you to contact us for a free consultation.

It’s World Password Day

OMA Comp World Password Day 2018

World Password Day is a great reminder to change up your passwords.

Always use long, strong, unique and complex passwords to reduce your chance of hackers wreaking havoc or successfully stealing information.

Never leave passwords laying around or near your devices. A password manager is a better way to store this information.

Always change passwords immediately if there is a breach.

Tax Day Is Here!

OMA Comp Tax Day Is Here 2018

Today is the last day to file your taxes unless you have an extension.

As a reminder, there are people who scam the public by impersonating an IRS official through phone calls or online phishing emails. The IRS almost always notifies by regular mail first. If you do receive contact, it is better to hang up and call the IRS directly to make certain that it is not an impersonator trying to con you.

Pay Attention to Cyber Crime this Tax Season

OMA Comp Cyber Crime Taxes

Every year businesses are hit with increased cybersecurity threats during tax season. Companies of all sizes are at risk of losing valuable information and potential exposure of financial loss. Here are three things you need to keep in mind this tax season.

#1. Phishing Attempts

Phishing is when someone sends an e-mail from what appears to be a trusted vendor, customer, or organization that is designed to steal your information. E-mails can be modified to appear to be from an organization’s server and will likely reflect a domain and username you would expect to see coming from that specific organization.

Be alert to unexpected critical e-mails and reach out to that individual or organization by phone if you feel something is not right. Most trusted parties will not request sensitive data via e-mail; however, also look out for links within emails that can lead to untrusted websites. Modern e-mail clients allow you to hover over a link before clicking, so check for irregular domains and URL shorteners.

#2 Contact from IRS Agents

Cyber criminals may attempt to disguise themselves as IRS agents in order to obtain compromising information about your business and employees.  Often, the “agent” will request additional information that is unnecessary for filing purposes but holds tremendous value to them like social security numbers, telephone numbers, and addresses. The IRS will only contact you by U.S. mail!

#3. Internal Actors

The nature of many companies’ work requires individuals other than the proprietor to access critical information. These employees should be made aware of communication procedures and safeguards to prevent cybercrimes from occurring. A majority of cyber incidents are caused by people that are unware of threats.

Year-Round Attention

Remember to be vigilant all year long, just because taxes have been filed does not mean the end of cybersecurity threats.
