Our team of experts will work with you to legally remove any negative content possible. We use whitehat seo tactics to suppress any content that cannot be removed while creating, promoting, and optimizing positive content to replace it.  We staff professional journalists to create this content and use our robust list of industry connections to feature it on authoritative websites, blogs, online journals, and more. In addition, we create and/or optimize your social media accounts such as Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Facebook. Your dedicated Account Manager will provide you with weekly progress reports and is there to assist and communicate with you every step of the way.

Your privacy is important to us. Anything discussed as well as your personal information is kept 100% confidential.

We do not share your information with third parties like many other companies do. We are here to help you not complicate your situation.

The duration of a personal online reputation management campaign varies and depends heavily on the following factors:

  1. The type or mix of services you choose (reputation management, personal branding, content suppression/removal) and how aggressive you want to be with each one.
  2. The current status of your online reputation. The greater the amount of high authority content the more difficult and time consuming it is to suppress.
  3. Changes to Google’s algorithms. Our team of SEO specialists are always up to date with algorithm changes and adjust strategies as necessary. However, we cannot predict what these changes will be, nor how they will affect the work that has already been completed.
  4. The law. We operate solely with whitehat techniques and if there are changes in the law that affect how we do things we must abide by them and adjust moving forward.

We typically recommend maintenance and monitoring plans. These consist of continuation in content creation and promotion to ensure that:

  1. Any undesired information stays off the first page of Google.
  2. Your personal brand continues to grow and your positive online presence continues to develop.

Our maintenance programs consist of making subtle changes to the assets we previously created to ensure they stay fresh and relevant in different search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. These maintenance plans are designed to ensure that you still control your online presence once our initial campaign has been completed.

Our monitoring plans are twofold. We continue to investigate and analyze your personal brand sentiment, making recommendations if we see any red flags, as well as audit any new content that surfaces for anything potentially damaging. Want us to investigate anything more specific? We will happily customize your monitoring plan to include any additional aspects you want us to keep an eye on.

Online reputation management (ORM) is the practice of controlling and influencing how a person or company is represented and perceived online.

Today, digital information — both positive and negative — spreads fast. People form an opinion of you or your company based on what they find online in search engine results and on social media.

You can’t ignore what’s happening online.

5.35 billion people use the internet worldwide, with a majority using social media as well. And many of them are using Google Search and other search engines to research individuals and businesses. For example, over 60% of consumers do online research before making a major purchase.

Your personal brand reputation or company’s reputation acts as a trust signal to the public. It determines if others will connect with you or do business with you. If bad reviews and other types of negative content rise to the surface of Google Search results, your brand’s reputation could take a major hit.

If you’re not willing or able to protect your brand by promoting a positive online image, the repercussions could be severe:

  • Decrease in profitability
  • Diminished trust from the public
  • Extreme revenue loss
  • Higher marketing costs
  • Low rankings in search engine results
  • Poor customer engagement
  • Reduced customer and employee retention
