How deal with a competitor who is lying on internet

Kleen Roof and Exterior Cleaning · Feb 1, 2013

Any idea on what I should do about a competitor who is posting lies on the internet about his company to make it look good.

here is a post I found that says company has been in business since 2010. Checked with the state, Only been in business since December of 2012

If its on the internet it must be true. NO ONE lies on the internet.

Take the high road Dave and focus on growing your business. You'll get a lot more ROI for time spent on your business rather than focusing oin theirs. My two cents..

Ok well that is a different story. I am a firm believer in Karma. If he is messing with your business reputation, find away to prove he did it and take him to court for slander. When it comes to reputation, I don't screw around. Drop the hammer.

Could this be related to a past dispute coming back to haunt you? Takes some a long time to get over some things. evileye evileye

this is a good example of why not to get into business with a close family member.

Ted's advise is spot on. There is nothing you can do to stop it and the time it is going to take you to contact web masters and listing sites, you could have posted some quality content on a few new pages of your site. I would focus on building quality/original content for your website, getting quality backlinks and implementing marketing campaigns and you will blow just about anyone in your area out of the water.

As long as he is not slamming your business with slander than I would not look back. And if that happens, I know a guy .... that knows a guy. But he ain't cheap.

Ted's right, stay focused on your business. Obviously you're doing something right, if your competition is that worried about you. Just step it up another notch.

Maybe he really has been in business since 2010. I started cleaning gutters in high school. This was roughly 1990 and I had a 1982 Trans Am and drove up to customers with an extension ladder hanging out the back. I cant tell you how retarded I must have looked. I told all of my customers my truck was in the shop but Im so dedicated. I could say I started in 1990. Hey, I think Im going to.

Agreed...one of my wife's golden rules in "Never mention the competition by name". If the other party says something about them or brings a specific competitor name up in the course of an appointment, we might mention something like "Oh, they're out of prison already?" or "wow, thats wonderful news, not a lot of people can overcome a Herion addiction like that and turn their lives around so quickly".

Kidding...just kidding.....

Just don't mention them. Karma takes some time to work, but it does.

Not sticking up for him, but he may have cleaned that roof before he actually filed his corp or llc. I would take the advice of the other posts and not worry about him and grow your own business. If he is not a good roof cleaner you won't have to worry about him for long.
