My business is being attacked online by a competitor. What can I do to stop the attacks and protect my reputation?

You might not be able to stop the attacks, especially if they’re anonymous, but you can take steps to limit the potential reputation damage they could cause. Maintaining an active social media presence for your business (including profiles on websites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube) can help give you a layer of protection from online attacks and also give you the tools to promote positive, truthful information about your business.
