Clean up your online presence in 6 steps
Your company has five Facebook pages? The interns made a mess of your social profiles? Here’s what to do.

It’s important knowledge to share, but what happens when someone else makes the mistakes and you have to fix them?
If you haven’t encountered this already, I bet there will come a time when you have to clean up a company‘s online and social media presence.
Maybe it will be like the situation I just went through with a client. Leadership empowered the interns to own social media and they created a huge mess. This is a classic example, right?
Or, maybe the company hired a self-professed “expert” who led them down the wrong path.
Whatever the situation, if you have to clean up a company’s online and social media presence, this process will help you successfully restore order:
1. Conduct a comprehensive online/social media audit.
You may know the company’s online presence is a mess, but you need to effectively communicate this to leadership. Put together an audit that outlines where the company has a presence online. Screenshots of profiles and specific content help tremendously to get your point across.
