A solid idea on how to post reviews for clients. (Reputation management)

[chanlo]

So I have been getting into reputation management and decided that I would need to go to coffee shops with a laptop, create a Gmail account and Yelp account (these are where the clients bad reviews are) and then start posting reviews. This is how I eliminated the coffee shop

1. Posted on my Facebook a coupon for Free virus removal.
2. Set up Teamviewer on the clients computer (so I don't have to go anywhere).
3. Cleaned the computers up using Malwarebytes/Combofix.
4. Cleaned the computer with Ccleaner.
5. Created a Gmail account (for posting places reviews). Also a yelp account with different name than the the review posted in Google Places.
6. Started on the next computer and also saved them in my Teamviewer account for future reference.

All I asked is that if I was going to clean their computer for free that if I could use the computer afterwords and everyone gladly offered.

I am sure this tactic could be used in other ways, but just thought I would share with you guys

Great out of the box thinking .... seems like a good way to get around the problem of getting local proxies eh?

Absolutely! It's also better than being cracked out on $4.00 a cup coffee.

This is good idea, but careful though as those are other's computers. Electronic things are always risky

Yeah, I wouldn't do it unless I knew exactly what I was doing. I was doing computer repair for about 3 years before I got into web design/seo/reputation management. So I am pretty confident when I am doing something like removing viruses/malware

it's legal as long as he has permission

Exactly haha. I am sure I could have got a huge list just by asking friends/family in the area, but it's easier when you're giving them something for "free" and they give you something in return.

*UPDATE*
For Google+ if you want them to stick very easily. Get a unique IP address in the country your trying to post the review in ( I did one for Washington state from a California IP) and then setup a G+ account. Make sure you have a profile picture and an American name. Then +1 a couple of posts and follow a couple of people, and post your review on the page you want.
*Important* If the company your posting for has a lot of negative reviews you will need to post a "Very good" review rather than "Excellent" review. This will allow it to stick with out getting removed. I have done two so far this way by logging into people's computer's over TeamViewer

No one is contacting me regarding free virus removal

Great idea on how to avoid bouncing from coffee shop to coffee shop! I don't think I can pull off using that coupon but maybe I'll think of my own twist.

Also, thanks for the info on getting G+ reviews to stick.
