Online Reputation Management

Build, protect, and repair what search and AI say about your name or brand. We tell you what is actually removable before you spend anything.

What it costs

Someone looking for help with their own search results pays $1,888 for the standard personal online reputation management package. One time. Not monthly, not a retainer, no hidden fees, and nothing bolted on to inflate it. That covers the one package, not everything we do. Companies are a different piece of work, so we scope those on what the situation needs and get to a number quickly. Anything past what it covers, a court record or a bigger job, gets quoted on its own and you see the number before it starts. Individual removals outside the package are flat per-item, quoted before we file anything.

How long it takes

Removals resolve in days to weeks. Meaningful search movement in 60 to 90 days. A full rebuild with significant negative content runs 6 to 12 months, and we tell you that upfront.

This is for you if
  • Your name or brand search shows content that is costing you deals, hires, or customers
  • You want one accountable team across removal, building, and monitoring
  • You want a scoped project with a price, not an open-ended retainer
Probably not for you if
  • You want a guaranteed outcome on a specific result (nobody can honestly offer that)
  • You only need a single item removed (a removal-only service is the right scope)
What you get
  • A complete map of your first two pages of search: positive, negative, neutral, missing
  • A written plan with what can move, what cannot, and what it costs
  • Removal and de-indexing requests filed where eligible
  • Owned and earned properties built and optimized to hold page one
  • Plain-language progress reporting against the original map
What we will not promise

We do not guarantee Google will do anything. We promise process, documentation, and honesty about what is achievable before you spend a dollar.

When someone searches your name, whatever shows up becomes your first impression. For many people, that first impression is a court record, a bad review, an outdated news article, or nothing at all. The online reputation management industry has spent years selling expensive monthly retainers that lock people into contracts while delivering vague monitoring reports and filler blog posts. We think that is a terrible way to run a business. We offer a la carte services scoped to your actual situation. You pay for what you need. You see measurable results. You are never stuck in a contract.

We shape what people find when they search for you

We start with a full audit: every result on the first two pages of Google and Bing for your name, your business name, and any other search terms that matter. We identify what is positive, negative, neutral, and missing. From there, we build a strategy to claim as many first-page positions as possible with real properties: sites, articles, placements, profiles. Each one strong enough to hold page one on its own. The goal is a results page you built, that you control, and that accurately represents who you are. Our free scan runs the Google half of that audit right now, item by item, and reads it back to you.

Most reputation firms behave as if Google is the only engine that matters. Bing is the default on most corporate hardware, and its index feeds the AI layer too. ChatGPT reaches the live web through it, and Microsoft Copilot is built on it. We audit, work, and report on both engines on every engagement.

What we can do for you

Search result control. Claim as many first-page positions as possible with real properties you own. Replace random data broker listings, old news articles, and court records with a page that works for you. Those court results are not leaks, which is why they are stubborn: federal dockets are published by the judiciary itself through PACER, and the aggregators build their pages on that feed.

Outrank outdated coverage. Not everything can be removed. News articles, opinion pieces, and some government records are protected speech. When removal is not an option, we build real assets that outrank the negative. The information still exists. What changes is whether it dominates the conversation.

Positive content creation. Every piece built to rank for your name: personal or professional websites, optimized profiles, press features, thought leadership articles, and Wikipedia pages for those who qualify. The narrative is forward-looking, and every piece is substantive and accurate.

AI reputation management. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews answer questions about real people every day. If the content about you is negative or incomplete, the AI will repeat it. We optimize your presence specifically for AI retrieval so the answer is accurate and consistent.

What reputation management cannot do

No one can guarantee Google will remove anything. Google publishes the path for removing personal information from Search, and it is a request judged against their criteria, not a button we get to press. We have a strong track record of removing court records, mugshots, and data broker listings, but we never promise something we do not control. For content that cannot be removed, suppression pushes it down rather than pretending it does not exist. We are honest about what is achievable before you spend a dollar, because a reputation firm that shades the truth is selling you the disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is online reputation management?

Online reputation management is the practice of shaping what people find when they search for your name or your business. That includes Google search results, AI assistant answers, review sites, social media profiles, and any other platform where your name appears. The goal is to make sure the information that shows up is accurate, positive, and reflects who you are today.

How much does online reputation management cost?

Someone looking for help with their own search results pays $1,888 for the standard personal online reputation management package. One time. Not monthly, not a retainer, no hidden fees, and nothing bolted on to inflate it. That covers the one package, not everything we do. Companies are a different piece of work, so we scope those on what the situation needs and get to a number quickly. Anything past what it covers, a court record or a bigger job, gets quoted on its own and you see the number before it starts. Individual removals outside that package are priced flat, per item. We do not put reputation work on a monthly retainer, and you get the number before anything starts.

How long does it take to see results from ORM?

Content removals can resolve in days to weeks. Building positive content and pushing it into search results takes longer. You usually see meaningful movement in 60 to 90 days. A full reputation rebuild for someone with significant negative content online can take 6 to 12 months. We set realistic expectations upfront because overpromising is a major problem in this industry.

Can you guarantee negative content will be removed from Google?

We promise effort and process, but no one can guarantee Google will do anything. We have a strong track record of removing court records, mugshots, and data broker listings. For content that cannot be removed at the source, we use suppression strategies to push it down in search results. We are honest about what is achievable before you spend a dollar.

Do online reputation management services actually work?

Yes, when they are done properly by people who know what they are doing. The industry has a trust problem. Too many companies charge high monthly fees and deliver vague reports with no measurable results. We work on a project basis with clear deliverables. You know exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what the expected outcome is.

What is the difference between ORM and SEO?

SEO focuses on getting your website to rank higher in search results for specific keywords. ORM is broader. It focuses on shaping the entire first page of results for your name or brand across all platforms. That includes your website, review profiles, social media accounts, press coverage, Wikipedia pages, and AI assistant answers. SEO is one tool in the ORM toolkit.

Can you manage my reputation on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude pull their answers from web content. If the content about you online is negative, inaccurate, or incomplete, the AI will repeat it. We create and optimize content specifically to influence what AI platforms say about you. Most reputation companies have not figured this out yet. We have.

Do I need ORM if I have nothing negative online?

If you have nothing negative online but also nothing positive, you have a different kind of problem. When someone searches your name and finds nothing, they make assumptions. Those assumptions are rarely in your favor. Proactive ORM builds a strong digital footprint before you need it. It is much easier to build a positive presence when you are not under fire.

We show you the map and the number, then you decide.

The map is your first two pages of search sorted into positive, negative, neutral, and missing. The number is what moving each piece costs. A la carte, no retainers, and no pretending anyone can make Google do anything.
