How to Protect Your Reputation Online
in India
A legal step-by-step guide for individuals and businesses across India. Proactive legal monitoring is far cheaper than crisis management. One false review addressed within 48 hours costs a fraction of managing a viral defamation campaign.
The legal process.
Monitor your search results: set up Google Alerts for your name and business. Check first 3 pages monthly.
Respond promptly to false content: content that is not challenged early becomes indexed as factual information.
Document all false content: maintain a contemporaneous record with screenshots, URLs, and dates.
Use legal notices proactively: IT Act notices sent early stop content from going viral. Early action = shorter timelines and lower costs.
Engage RepuLex for a reputation audit: a quarterly assessment identifies emerging threats before they become crises.
