If you have a social media account and post regularly, you will likely receive negative comments at some point. It can be difficult to decide how to deal with these comments, but it is important to keep SEO and your brand in mind. Luckily, at realdrseattle®, we understand the best ways to deal with negative comments and can provide you with the cosmetic surgeon’s guide to social media.Firstly, arguably the easiest way to deal with negative comments is to delete them. For spam or outright hateful comments, this may be the best way to go about it. This keeps unnecessary and unrelated comments off your posts and page. You may even block the account to prevent them from commenting in the future. Deleting comments can also have a downside. What if it’s a patient who leaves a negative comment? Deleting this comment may end up tarnishing your reputation, especially if you have a large following who may notice the comment’s absence. Depending on the situation, you may reach out to the commenter privately, which may allow you to resolve the issue amicably.
