The internet has offered a medium for seamless communication. Brands can leverage digital channels to showcase their products and services, connect with their target audience and reinforce visibility in the business world. The online space has its downside as well. If something unsavory about your brand appears on the web, it’s going to be publicly accessible and possibly remain there for eternity.

Every business-owner, therefore, needs to work proactively to manage their online reputation. While enterprises choose to hire online reputation management companies, not everyone can afford to do so.

Thank you so much for publishing such a killer list. Static site generators are becoming popular but I think it is frustrating that very few tools are available with compatible export formats for them. For now, my preferred option INK for All: https://seo.app/XzTXZsUH9
