Online reputation management
We audit, repair and protect your reputation across Google, review sites and social, using ethical methods that hold up long after the campaign ends.
The 1-2-3 method
Every engagement follows the same three steps, so you always know what's happening and why.
We map every search result, review profile and mention that shapes first impressions, then score what helps and what hurts.
We remove what breaks platform policies, respond to what can be answered, and build strong owned assets to outrank the rest.
Monitoring, review generation and alerts keep your reputation strong, so a single bad week never becomes page one again.

Our standards
Shortcuts in this industry get businesses penalized. Here's what we will never do on your behalf.
Every review comes from a real customer. Fake ones get removed, and so do the profiles they sit on.
We ask every customer for feedback, not just the happy ones, as Google and the FTC require.
Suppression is done with genuine, high-quality assets that search engines want to rank.
Anyone who "guarantees" removal is guessing. We tell you what's realistic before you spend a cent.
Guides
How a workplace investigation affects the reputation of the employer, the person accused and the person who complained, and how confidentiality, fairness and careful communication protect everyone.
There's no general US law stopping a former employer from giving a bad reference, but there are real limits. Here's what they can say, what they can't, and what to do if a reference is false.
A practical plan for a social media crisis: how to assess it fast, when to respond and when not to, pausing scheduled posts, monitoring, and what to do once the peak passes.
Online reputation management (ORM) is the work of shaping what people find when they look you up: the first page of Google for your name or brand, your star rating on review sites, and what gets said about you on social media, forums and in the news.
Most people decide quickly whether to trust a business, or a person, once they search. Few click past page one. If that page is full of your own website, strong profiles and recent positive reviews, the decision is easy. If a two-year-old complaint thread sits in position three, it often isn’t.
Good reputation management does three things, in order. It finds out exactly what people see (audit), fixes what can legitimately be fixed (repair), and puts systems in place so the problem doesn’t come back (protect). That’s the 1-2-3 method every one of our engagements follows. New to the terminology? Our reputation management glossary explains it in plain English.
We search your name or brand the way a customer, recruiter or journalist would, including variations like “reviews”, “complaints” and “scam”. Every result on page one is scored as positive, neutral or negative, along with your review profiles on Google and the platforms that matter in your industry, social mentions and news coverage.
Then we sort the problems into three groups: what breaks a platform’s rules or the law and can be reported, what is accurate but outdated or unfair and needs a response or better content around it, and what isn’t worth your money to chase.
Repair starts with the quickest legitimate wins. We report reviews that break Google’s or Yelp’s policies, file requests for content that qualifies for removal (such as doxxing, copyright infringement or personal information), and ask site owners to update pages that are simply wrong.
Genuine criticism usually stays, so we answer it well and build accurate content that deserves to rank above it: complete profiles, useful pages on your own site, and coverage that reflects who you are now. That’s how negative search result suppression works when it’s done properly.
Protection is the ongoing part. Through review management, we set up a steady, policy-compliant way to ask every customer for a review, reply to new reviews promptly, and watch your name for new problems through reputation monitoring. Each month you get a plain-English report of what changed and what we did about it.
This industry has a reputation problem of its own. Shortcuts are cheap to sell and expensive to live with.
What we do instead is slower and holds up: real reviews from real customers, removal requests only where the rules support them, and content that earns its place. If something can’t be fixed, we say so before you spend anything. Our guide on choosing a reputation management company lists the warning signs to look for in any firm, including us.
We work with small and local businesses whose rating no longer reflects the service they provide, multi-location brands in hospitality and healthcare, and founders, executives and professionals who need their name to show the right things. See all industries, or browse by review platform.
We believe everyone deserves a second chance to clean up their reputation, whether they were harmed by someone else, named in a story about someone else’s wrongdoing, or made a mistake years ago and have since moved on.
That’s why we’re building a free Name Scanner. It’s launching soon and will be free to use, funded by our parent company, Marketing Agency SG. It will find harmful results about you, rank them by how serious they are, and draft removal requests for you to review and send yourself. Read more about who we are and why we’re doing this.
It depends on the problem. Ongoing review management for a single location costs far less than pushing a major news article off page one. Every engagement starts with a free audit, after which you get a fixed quote for the work we recommend, and a clear explanation of anything we don’t think is worth doing.
Sometimes. Content that breaks a platform’s rules or the law, such as fake reviews, doxxing, copyright infringement and some personal information, can often be removed. Genuine criticism usually can’t be, but it can be outranked with stronger, accurate content. Our content removal page explains the main routes.
Review and profile work often shows early results within weeks. Pushing a negative result off page one typically takes three to six months or longer, depending on how authoritative the page is. We give you a realistic timeline after the audit, not a guarantee.
The way we do it, yes. We never write fake reviews, never ask only happy customers for feedback, and never use spam or fake legal claims. Those shortcuts break platform rules and the FTC’s 2024 rule on fake reviews, and they usually make things worse when they’re discovered.
Yes. We work with executives, founders, doctors, lawyers and public figures on personal reputation management, confidentially.
PR mostly works on new coverage: announcements, interviews and media relationships. Online reputation management works on what already shows up when someone searches you, including reviews, old articles and forum threads. The two overlap, and larger problems often need both.
A review of page one of Google for your name or brand, your review profiles, and any removal opportunities, plus a prioritized plan and a fixed quote. There’s no obligation. Request your audit.
