🛡️ ONLINE REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
★ Review generation and response systems · Brand SERP control · Monitoring and alerting · Crisis playbooks · No fake reviews, no gating, no shady suppression
Almost nobody hires you before they search your name. They read the star rating, skim the worst review, glance at whatever sits below your website on page one, and increasingly they ask an assistant what your business is like. It takes under a minute, and you are never in the room for it.
A warning first: plenty of reputation firms sell fake reviews, review gating, private blog networks and bogus takedown claims. Those tactics are detectable, breach platform policy, and age into liabilities. We do not sell them at any price.
What reputation management means in our hands
Reviews are earned by systems, not incentives. Most businesses with thin review counts are not disliked, they simply never ask, or ask badly, three weeks late, with a link that takes six taps. We wire the request into the moment of satisfaction: job completed, invoice paid, appointment finished, on the channel that customer already uses. Everyone gets asked, not only the customers you expect to be happy: filtering who you ask is gating, and every major platform prohibits it.
Bad results get outranked, not hidden. Page one for your brand name has ten slots and a knowledge panel. We fill them with assets you own: a fast site, real service pages, team bios, case studies, claimed profiles, and schema tying them into one entity. Owned assets displace weak third party results by being more relevant, which lasts. Suppression schemes do not. Where something is defamatory or breaches platform rules, the route is the platform process or your lawyer, and we will say so plainly.
Responses are a product with a standard. Every review gets a reply, in the owner voice, inside an agreed window. We build the tone guide, the templates for recurring situations, and the escalation path for the ones needing a human decision. A calm, specific reply to a one star review persuades more future customers than the review itself costs you.
What a typical engagement includes
- A baseline: what a first time searcher sees on your brand SERP, review volume, recency, rating spread and response rate per platform, and what AI assistants currently say about you
- A review generation system wired into your CRM, booking flow or invoicing, firing automatically by email or SMS at the right moment
- A response playbook: tone guide, templates, escalation rules, and an agreed response window
- Brand SERP control: owned pages, claimed and completed profiles, entity markup, knowledge panel eligibility
- Review widgets pulling live ratings into your site, marked up with schema and rendered server side so your Lighthouse score holds
- Monitoring and alerting across review platforms, social mentions and news, routed to email or Slack
- A crisis playbook written in calm weather: who speaks, what gets said in the first hour, and when silence is the correct answer
- Reporting on volume, rating trend, response rate and time to respond
The stack and the approach
Requests and reminders run from your own systems through platform APIs and transactional email or SMS, so the sender is you rather than a rented tool. Site work is standard Redenn: Next.js 16, server rendered, WCAG 2.1 AA, schema authored by hand. Monitoring runs as scheduled jobs surfaced in your admin dashboard, the same discipline behind our CRM development work. The ethical boundaries go into the scope document in writing.
What this looks like in practice
A multi location service business. Clinics, trades, dealerships, franchises. Each location gets its own claimed profile, its own review flow tied to completed jobs, and its own dashboard, with naming and address data identical everywhere so locations do not compete or blur into one entity.
A brand SERP cleanup for a founder led company. An old news item, a stale directory page and a forum thread outrank the parts of the story that are true today. We build and interlink the owned assets that deserve those slots, tighten the entity graph, then start a steady review cadence. This pairs naturally with SEO and AI search optimization, and the ongoing cadence can ride on a Care Plan.
Pricing
Scoped per project. Locations, platforms, review volume and how much owned content needs building move the number too far for an honest rate card. You get a fixed price after a scoping call.
