What is online reputation management (ORM)?

It is the work of changing what people find when they search a name — the search results, the review profiles and the social accounts that rank for it. Mostly that means building and strengthening results worth ranking, so the harmful or outdated ones move down to where few people look.

How long does it take to see results?

It depends on what is ranking. Pages and profiles you own can move within weeks. Displacing a strong harmful result on a moderately difficult first page generally takes three to six months, and news from major publications is the hardest to move. The free audit gives you a realistic read before you commit to anything.

Can you remove negative content from Google?

Not through search work. Removal needs the publisher to take a page down, a policy breach on the platform, or a legal basis such as a court order or a right-to-be-forgotten request where that applies. Where one of those exists we will say so. Otherwise the work is outranking the result, and because Google decides rankings, no specific position can be guaranteed.

Do you offer a free audit?

Yes. We review what appears when your name or brand is searched, classify each result, and send you the findings with recommendations. There is no commitment and no payment details are needed.

Who do you work with?

Businesses and individuals across most sectors. We decline work that would bury a legitimate, unresolved customer complaint, fabricate reviews, or suppress accurate reporting on a matter of genuine public interest.

How much do your services cost?

It depends on what is ranking and how much needs to change, so we quote after the free audit rather than before it. The written proposal sets out the scope and the price before any work starts.

What we do

Six ways we change your first page

Every service works on the same thing: the page people see when they search your name. Most campaigns combine two or three of them, chosen after the audit.

Search Result Suppression

Push harmful pages off the first page of Google by building and strengthening the results that deserve to outrank them.

Media Placements

Earn coverage in publications that carry genuine authority, so the results people find are ones they already trust.

Brand Search Presence

Design what appears when someone searches your name — the ten results, the knowledge panel, and everything in the sidebar.

Social Media Content

Keep the profiles that rank for your name active, consistent and worth landing on.

Review Management

Build a review profile that reflects your actual service — through collection, response, and monitoring across the platforms that matter.

SEO Strategy

Technical foundations, content and links — aimed at the queries that decide whether people trust you.

How it works

How reputation is managed

Mostly construction, not removal. Five stages, run in this order and reported result by result.

The full process

STEP 01
Audit what ranks
We search your name the way other people do and classify every result on the first two pages as owned, neutral or harmful.
STEP 02
Map the first page
Each harmful result gets a displacement target and the assets that will overtake it. You see the plan and the quote before any work starts.
STEP 03
Build results worth ranking
Optimised pages and profiles you own, plus coverage earned in publications people trust. Construction, not demolition.
STEP 04
Strengthen your reviews
A collection process that asks every customer, and a response framework for the reviews already there.
STEP 05
Track and maintain
Reported position by position, not as a single score — and maintained, because suppression only holds while the assets holding it are kept up.

What your audit shows

See what we uncover

Every audit starts with one question: what does a customer find when they search your name? Here's how that looks.

High priority

A negative article holds position two

The single most-clicked result after the official site frames the brand around withheld payouts.

First action: Publish and promote authoritative coverage to displace it.

High priority

Review rating sits below the trust threshold

A 2.4 average with no visible responses reads as an unmanaged business to anyone comparing options.

First action: Open a response programme and a review request flow for satisfied customers.

Medium priority

The most recent company news is three years old

Stale coverage lets older problems define the brand, because nothing newer competes for the query.

First action: Refresh owned profiles and place current commentary in trade media.

The goal is not deletion. Harmful results rarely disappear, so the target is to move them below what people actually read — most clicks go to the top three results, and few visitors reach page two. Illustrative example using a fictional company, built from patterns we see regularly. It is not a client case study, and outcomes vary by industry and by what is already published.
