WHAT IS SERM
Reputation is the most valuable intangible asset a company owns. Having lost it once, brands spend a great deal of time and money to restore it. To maintain a positive reputation, there are many technologies, among which is SERM.
SERM (Search Engine Reputation Management ), stands for Search Engine Reputation Management. It is important to understand that nowadays people use mainly the Internet, less often television and the press to obtain information.
Before buying a product, a person enters a search engine and gathers all possible information about the future purchase: reviews, video reviews, articles, pricing, and based on this, makes a choice. Therefore, it is advisable that the first page of the search engine does not contain negative information about the product. Increasing positive information about the company and minimizing negative information is the main task of SERMs.

Preventing Negative Feedback
Many people think that SERM is exclusively aggressive crisis management. It isn't. Of course, this technology is indispensable in times of crisis or acute situation, but still, it's better to be proactive and think of tactics to disseminate positive information in advance and systematically.
This technology is necessary for everyone who cares about their reputation: entrepreneurs, large and small companies, famous global brands and personal brands - all of them use SERM.
In Ukraine, the use of this technology is not as widespread as in the West. But it can play into your hands. While your competitors ignore the negative reviews and comments about them on the network, losing their target audience, you will get a big competitive advantage by introducing this technology.
Online reputation management is used in two cases: to maintain a positive reputation and to eliminate online reputation threats.
In the first case it is clear: the company has a good reputation and the technology helps to keep it at or above this level. In the second case, SERM is used to neutralize reputational threats: negative feedback; negative media coverage; aggressive websites.
