ShinyReputation.com offers this advice towards proving the genuine nature of one's business reputation online: -Ask customers to leave their honest opinion of the service they received without offering an incentive. Therefore, limiting the chance that consumers will read a fraudulent review. -Should a customer post a negative review, make sure to either publicly or privately apologize and offer a way to resolve their dissatisfaction. Customers are more than likely to update their original review and state that the business genuinely tries to resolve customer upsets.

Should there be an issue with the server, hire an IT person who can use server services, to ensure specific issues and malfunctions do not occur.
