How To Deal With An Online
Reputation and PR Crisis

YourProfitWeb.com
What Can I Do To Cope
with an Online PR Nightmare?

YourProfitWeb.com
If you've had to weather an online PR
crisis with no plan available to deal
with it, then you know how
important it is to have one.

YourProfitWeb.com
Nowadays when bad news travels so
quickly, you truly don't have the
luxury of "getting to it later". Your
brand may already be sinking even
before you begin bailing!
YourProfitWeb.com
Dealing with a public relations crisis
online takes agility, clear thinking
and above all, a plan. Let's take a
look at some of what should be in
that plan!
YourProfitWeb.com
How can I ensure that I can survive
an online PR disaster?

YourProfitWeb.com
Here are a few items to incorporate
into a plan to get you through the
inevitable errant post, tweet or video.

YourProfitWeb.com
Have Clear Posting Guidelines
If staff are left to their own devices,
very often they can offend without
realizing it.

YourProfitWeb.com
Having clearly established posting
guidelines for social media and
especially YouTube is a wise way to
make sure everyone is working off
the same page. Of particular
importance is what has to happen in
the event of a problem, and what to
do when this occurs.
YourProfitWeb.com
Don't Try To Hide
Attempting to act is if nothing has
happened is a strategy all right, but
for disaster!

YourProfitWeb.com
Be sure to remove the offending
content as quickly as you can, and
be sure to not only be on top of it,
but to answer intelligently and
proactively to the problem. This is
the best way to limit harm to your
brand.
YourProfitWeb.com
PR Disaster Code of Conduct
Not only should you not hide from
said crisis, but you need to be the
very definition of sincerity, and
professionalism.
YourProfitWeb.com
Don't attempt to deflect blame, or fire
back at the offended party. Be sure
and take ownership of the situation,
and respond with civility even though
every fiber of your being really wants
to sling mud!
YourProfitWeb.com
Also, be sure to not use canned
messages in response to this type of
problem: All this says is that you're
either not able to deal with it or you
simply can't be bothered!
YourProfitWeb.com
There are several more examples of
what we're discussing here. Making a
plan to deal with a PR crisis
shouldn't be something you'll "get to
later". Do it, so you'll have it ready
when the need arises!
