SuperMedia’s Online Reputation Monitoring Tool Provides Clients with Centralized Window to Social World
SuperMedia’s Online Reputation Monitoring Tool Provides Clients with Centralized Window to Social World Value-added tool saves small businesses time and allows them to view at one time their reputation by monitoring reviews, tweets and Facebook wall postings DALLAS, Aug 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — SuperMedia (NASDAQ:SPMD) today introduced an online Reputation Monitoring tool as a value-added service for its clients. The monitoring and analytics tool allows SuperMedia clients to see online conversations and gain valuable insights about their businesses, by reviewing listings, reviews, tweets(R) and Facebook(R) wall postings. “Online reputation management is becoming increasingly important to small businesses,” said Greg Sterling, Senior Analyst, Opus Research and principal, Sterling Market Intelligence. “By smartly integrating this tool into its product suite, SuperMedia has moved out in front of the industry curve.” Powered by Yext, a digital media company, the Reputation Monitoring tool is a one-stop spot for SuperMedia clients to monitor their online presence. “In today’s world of non-stop tweets, incessant consumer reviews and ‘everyone has an opinion’ Facebook postings, monitoring your online reputation is a daunting enough task for major corporations,” said Sandra Crawford Williamson, chief marketing officer of SuperMedia. “For a business owner who doesn’t have the time, inclination or staff to search the Internet, it is nearly impossible.” If a problem is identified, SuperMedia clients can take proactive steps to implement a solution before another customer publishes a bad review or posts a negative comment about their business online. Clients can also go to those sites and respond to or forward positive comments. “A business owner’s reputation, a reputation that may have taken years to build can be tarnished with just the touch of several keystrokes,” Williamson said. “We want to help our clients protect their reputation by making them up-to-date and aware of what is being said about them.” The value-added tool is available to clients in good standing with a SuperMedia account. Users access it through SuperMedia.com.
