What Is Reputation Management?

Reputation management is the practice of monitoring, influencing, and improving how your business appears online. For local businesses, this means actively managing your Google reviews, responding to customer feedback, addressing negative content before it spreads, and building a consistent brand presence across every platform where customers find you.

Unlike big-box reputation services that charge enterprise prices for automated responses, we focus on what actually moves the needle for local businesses: your Google Business Profile, review platforms your customers actually use, and the search results that show up when someone Googles your business name.

Why Reputation Management Matters for Local Businesses
Reviews Drive Revenue
76% of consumers regularly read online reviews when searching for local businesses. Nearly half trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations from friends and family. For service businesses, restaurants, and local retailers, your star rating directly impacts whether someone picks up the phone or keeps scrolling.
Negative Reviews Compound Fast
A single unaddressed negative review doesn't just sit there. It ranks in search results, gets referenced by AI assistants, and influences every potential customer who researches your business. The cost of ignoring reputation management far exceeds the investment in getting ahead of it.
Your Competition Is Already Doing This
When two similar businesses show up in search results, the one with more reviews and better ratings wins. Reputation management isn't a luxury anymore. It's the baseline for competing in local search.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the burning questions in your mind.

Can you remove negative reviews?

We can't remove legitimate reviews, and neither can anyone else (despite what some companies claim). What we can do is help you respond professionally, generate more positive reviews to balance your rating, and in cases of fake or policy-violating reviews, flag them for platform review.

How long does it take to see results?

You'll see improved response times and review engagement immediately. Meaningful shifts in your overall rating typically take 3-6 months of consistent work, depending on your review volume and starting point.

Do I need reputation management if I already have good reviews?

Yes. Maintaining a strong reputation requires ongoing attention. Review recency matters to both customers and search algorithms. Even businesses with great ratings need fresh reviews and active engagement to stay competitive.

What's the difference between reputation management and SEO?

They're connected but distinct. SEO focuses on ranking your website in search results. Reputation management focuses on what people see when they search for your business name, including reviews, profiles, and mentions. We integrate both for maximum impact.

Can I do reputation management myself?

You can handle the basics, responding to reviews, asking customers for feedback. But consistent monitoring, strategic response frameworks, and review generation systems require time and expertise that most business owners don't have. We take it off your plate so you can focus on running your business.
