You might be under impression that people interested in your products or services will find you by typing a related key term in search engines, but it is wrong. They might also key in your brand name or company name to find you. It is because your reputation. If you are already popular, people will try to find more about you by typing your company name in search engines.
In such a case, you need to see to it that your competitors or any of your unsatisfied customers have not posted a bad review about your services.
Competitors are likely to do this. If they have done it, you need to find a way to push them to a place where people may not reach. Your reputation online is very important. It is a good idea to ensure that you don’t look bad when people put your brand name or company name into a search engine.

Good points. I would only add to make sure you monitor your brand across the web to see what people are saying.
Yes David. This is something most people already know but either don’t take it seriously or don’t have enough time to pay attention. However, as you said, it is very important that you monitor your Brand to make sure that no bad reviews are present in at least top 30 on major search engines.
