Restore your online reputation

If you find information about yourself that does not fit the reputation you want, act quickly. The longer it stays public, the greater the chance that it will be spread or archived.
In a respectful way, ask the person who posted it to remove it or correct an error. If it is a correction, ask him or her to include a notice (CORRECTION or UPDATED) right next to the original (incorrect) material.
If the person does not respond or refuses to help, ask the website administrator to remove the digital damage.
If you feel a public correction is necessary, present your case simply and politely without attacking the person.


“I’m always telling people that their name is their brand, and they must be careful what they post."
