With Reputation Repair for Individuals, many of the same steps apply for him/her as they will in repairing a business reputation. While you certainly should read what we cover in Reputation Repair for Businesses, here are a few additional points to chew on.
One issue to consider is the specifics of the real or supposed ‘offense’. What is the source cause? Where do all mentions or references to the incident show up online? Who is involved or has implied involvement? How many people are involved? What has been done or attempted in repairing it already? What are the ramifications of not getting any of it repaired compared to partially repaired or totally repaired?
Other questions include identifying any past, present, or future legal actions against the individual or being taken by the individual. What has occurred or is expected to occur in these areas? Are there any legal communications to or from anyone involved or even associated in any way?
Who is the individual – their age, profession, job, training or education, hobbies/activities, friend(s), entourage, etc.?
In general we need to know what has happened and what is happening now – where it all stands currently and where it looks like it’s going.
From there we can do some more investigation and review, compile it all into one or more reports and then present a recommended course of action.
Above all, DO NOT expect reputation repair to produce desired results quickly.
You may see results fairly soon, but it should not be expected as the various pieces of the puzzle don’t always slip into place instantly.
Like we mentioned at the beginning, we prefer to start with an initial review to get a feel for where the situation stands right now because there may be impending issues you are not even aware of that could complicate or delay your project even more.
And we assume you do not want a brick wall falling on you before you get out of the gate on this type of project.
