Search for yourself online. Simply go to Google and search for your company, you may be extremely surprised in what you find! I know we were, since the first page of results contained nine links to bad reviews or our competition, while only one was to our website.

Google also has “alerts” which can be emailed directly to you as soon as a new result pops up in your name, which was also a big part of what we did.
