Online Reputation Management
Own the conversation about your brand.
Review monitoring, response management, negative-result suppression, and proactive reputation building across Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, and more.
What it is
Your reputation is your business. We monitor mentions 24/7, respond to reviews on your behalf, and build positive search real estate so the first page of Google works for you, not against you.
Why it matters
- 94% of consumers say a negative review has convinced them to avoid a business entirely (BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2024).
- A one-star rating increase on Yelp drives a 5–9% revenue lift; the effect is causal, not correlational (Harvard Business School / Luca, Reviews Meet Revenue).
- The typical business responds to only 56% of its reviews — responsiveness is itself a ranking and conversion signal that most competitors ignore.
Outcomes
- Higher star ratings
- Cleaner first-page SERPs
- Better close rates
Tools we love
Who this is for
Growth-stage teams that want reputation treated as a discipline — not a side project. You have a real business to grow, budget to deploy thoughtfully, and an exec team that wants answers in numbers.
When you'd hire us
- Launching a new brand, product, or market.
- Current results are plateauing and you need a reset.
- You need senior thinking without hiring a full-time team.
Engagement shape
Standalone sprint, multi-month program, or embedded team — you pick what fits. Fixed-fee sprints start small; programs scale with scope; embedded engagements run on a monthly retainer.

How we're different
Reputation is a noisy space. A few things we believe — and push back on — that shape how we run every engagement.
- Sell you a fixed template and adapt your business to it.
- Hand the work to juniors after the pitch.
- Report on vanity metrics that don't tie to revenue.
- Lock you into proprietary tools you can't take with you.
- Chase shiny tactics without a durable strategy.
- Build a reputation system tuned to your P&L.
- Senior practitioners on every call, every week.
- Report on pipeline, revenue, CAC, LTV — not impressions.
- All files, data, and docs live in your accounts. No lock-in.
- Strategy first. Tactics second. Always in that order.
FAQs
Can you remove bad reviews?+
Only reviews that violate platform policies (fake, off-topic, defamatory, conflict-of-interest) — and only Google, Yelp, and similar platforms can approve those removal requests. Our primary approach is drowning bad reviews out with a steady stream of great ones, which is more durable and policy-compliant.
How do you generate more reviews?+
Automated post-purchase or post-service review requests via SMS (highest response rate), email, and QR codes. We also run first-party sentiment surveys before the review ask — high-sentiment customers get routed to Google, while low-sentiment customers get routed to a private feedback form. This is compliant and dramatically improves average rating.
Do you respond to reviews?+
Yes — within 48 hours, always on-brand, always specific to the reviewer's point. Google explicitly weights response rate as a local ranking signal, and consumers weight it as a purchase signal.
