According to Mobiteam researches, a big number of companies are mentioned in web resources that business owners are not even aware of, and it’s not always a positive presence. The research revealed that businesses that prove to be competitive on specific market segments are being mentioned on duplicated social pages, fake review websites, and even are given negative feedback on existing review resources to influence client’s & target market decisions and as well to drive out traffic from the company/brand. So, lack of web presence monitoring may cost your business traffic, customers and resources.
