Hi i have noticed that every damn company i google recently, the "google instant" is desplaying scam after it.

I have noticed so many legitimate companies getting bad names on the internet.

A small plumbing company may not deal with this but when you are a huge company dealing with millions of customer a year or month people are going to have issues with you, its just the way it is.

If you are in business for 1 year and serve 1 million people would it be understandable to see a forum saying your company is a scam or they had issues with you with about 50 Posts on it from pissed customers?


Sounds about normal but to the average person they view that as a large percentage complaining.

Even the commercials i see running all the time such as inventhelp if you google it scam comes up after it in google help.

even angieslist gets the scam after the letter angies list and the letter s

or servicemagic

These companies make millions of dollars regardless of bad press so obviously its not hurting too bad but its crazy that a company can be in biz for a long time and instantly get bad names because .05 % of customers complain online which appears to be such a bigger percentage.

what does everyone think about this?
