Frequently asked questions

What do reputation management agencies actually do?

Reputation management agencies monitor online sentiment, suppress negative search results, remove defamatory content where possible, and build positive digital assets through public relations and SEO.

How much does reputation management cost?

Costs vary significantly based on the complexity of the campaign, ranging from a few hundred dollars a month for basic review monitoring to several thousand dollars monthly for complex legal or executive removal campaigns.

Can negative links be completely removed from Google?

Complete removal depends on the nature of the content. If content violates terms of service or copyright, it can often be removed; otherwise, agencies rely on suppression techniques to push negative links down search results.
