Digital 86 Still The Leader In Online Reputation Repair

LAS VEGAS - Jan. 14, 2016 - PRLog -- You Google yourself. You don't like what you see.

Angry customers, former employees, vengeful exes and regrettable mistakes from your past. These are just a few of the things that can make their way online and wreak havoc on your personal and professional life.

The first page of search results is your new first impression and it directly affects your credibility. You will be judged based on what that page says about you, whether that information is true or not.

Enter Digital 86, a Las Vegas-based public relations firm that focuses on online reputation management. Or, in simpler terms, repairing the online reputation of their clients.

The firm is essentially a team of public relations gurus and technology experts (including some hackers gone legit) who work on improving the online presence of executives, attorneys, doctors, politicians and celebrities.

The firm is led by Alex Simon, a veteran publicist who got his start working with professional fighters before working with race car drivers, actors, entertainers and high-profile executives. As his clients saw an increased need for online reputation repair and crisis management, Digital 86 was born.

With most of their online reputation management services running between US$3,000 and US$8,000 per client per month, the firm has found a niche that is profitable yet has no shortage of demand.

"The Internet amplifies everything we do, especially the negative. Whether the damaging information about you is warranted or not, it needs to be fixed, or it will cause you loads of grief down the road", Simon says, adding, "It is critical that you control what pops-up when someone Googles your name. If you don't control it, someone else will."

Digital 86's methods are proprietary and the firm is famous for being the most private and confidential in its field. It does not disclose its client list and keeps a low profile on social media, making it the go-to choice for those who want their reputation fixed off the record.

What is no secret, however, is that for most clients all the damaging information about them online is nowhere to be found within 6 months of working with the firm.

"There are numerous reasons why someone's online reputation may be damaged. Sometimes it's through an individual's own fault, sometimes there's someone out there trying to destroy them. Either way, we don't believe someone's life should be ruined because of it. Everyone deserves a second chance", Simon says.
