Profile Defenders Reputation Management Service Is a Perfect Solution to iPhone Maps Troubles

Cupertino, CA, Oct. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profile Defenders Reputation Management Service Is a Perfect
Solution to iPhone Maps Troubles.

With the Mapple mess and Apples stellar reputaiton on the line
there is a service from the entrepreneurs at Profile Defenders to
help save Apples reputation over the Google maps debacle.

When
Apple released the iPhone 5 recently, they did so with a
major change. The nearly ubiquitous
Google Maps app was gone, and in its place was an Apple
created app simply called 'Maps'. With the "Mapple" mess and
Apple's stellar reputation on the line, there is a service from the
entrepreneurs at Profile Defenders to help save Apples reputation
over the Google maps debacle.

This case is a great example of the need for Online Reputation
Management. Whether you operate a huge, multi-national corporation
like Apple, or a small, local business in your hometown, the
concept is the same. Profile Defenders is the go to company that
can influence how people think about you and your business. There
are a wide variety of ways in which negative content can pop up on
the internet. The pros at Profile Defenders are experts in moving
that content off of the front page and out of the sight of your
future customers.

The reason for the change at Apple was obvious - in the last
several years, Google has become a direct competitor to Apple with
their integration into the Android platform. As such, Apple desired
to free itself from including one of Google's most popular products
in its software.

Mission not accomplished. The Maps app was a mess right from the
start, with customer complaints rolling in instantaneously. The
list of glitches being reported included bad search results, poor
image quality in the 3-D mapping, and even cities just flat out
missing. Apple CEO Tim Cook was quick to issue an apology, and
pledge to get the problems rectified.

A debacle such as this highlights the need to manage your
reputation online. As the leader in Online Reputation Management,

Profile Defenders knows all about how to best mitigate
negative press and keep your company's image in great shape.
Information spreads fast on the internet, and most of that
information is found using search engine based results which then
spreads like a wildfire on social media sites like Twitter and
Facebook. By influencing the content on high ranking sites, Profile
Defenders can control what is found about your business, ensuring
it is exactly what you want potential customers to see.

So how would those services apply in a situation such as the
Apple Maps mess? By publishing legitimate, positive content about
all of the positive reactions to the iPhone 5, Profile Defenders
services could suppress the negative content and have searchers
left with a much more positive impression. Apple has a long
standing reputation of innovation and incredible breakthroughs. By
keeping the top search results focused on highlights that track
record, and not the current Maps mess, Apple could go a long way in
maintaining its reputation in the eyes of the consumers.
