What Reputation Consulting Includes
Reputation strategy development starts with understanding the full scope of your situation.
We look at what exists, what is causing the most harm, what platforms and legal channels apply, and what an effective response looks like.
Full Reputation
Audit
Our reputation audit service maps your entire search presence including news, reviews, social profiles, data broker listings, and third-party content. We score each issue by severity and flag which items are most urgent.
Online Reputation Strategy Development
Online reputation strategy development produces a prioritized plan covering suppression, content creation, review management, and monitoring. Every recommendation is tied to a specific problem and a realistic outcome.
Brand Reputation Consulting
Brand reputation consulting covers businesses, products, and executives. We assess your competitive search landscape, identify vulnerabilities, and build a protection strategy that accounts for future risks as well as current ones.
Personal Reputation Consulting
Personal reputation consulting is built for individuals facing harmful search results, privacy exposure, or professional risk. We review your full digital footprint and outline what to prioritize first.
Crisis Preparedness
Review
We assess how prepared your organization is to respond to a reputation crisis. We identify gaps in your monitoring, response workflows, and content buffers, and deliver a readiness report with specific improvements.
Ongoing Advisory
Retainer
A reputation advisor on retainer gives you direct access to expert guidance as new issues arise. We review new content, advise on response decisions, and update your strategy as your situation changes.
How It Works
01 Audit
We run a 27-point audit of your full search presence, identifying harmful content, gaps in positive coverage, and risk areas that could become problems. You receive a detailed report.
02 Build a Plan
We build your reputation strategy around what the audit reveals. Each recommendation includes a tactic, a timeline, and a realistic outcome. You review and ask questions before any work begins.
03 Execute
If you engage us for implementation, we carry out the approved plan. If you are using in-house or external teams, we deliver the strategy and answer questions throughout execution.
04 Monitor and Protect
We set up monitoring during every consulting engagement. Ongoing advisory clients receive regular check-ins and strategy updates as new issues surface.

Most Reputation Problems Get Worse Without a Clear Strategy
Reputation management consulting gives you a structured view of what is causing damage and what to do in what order.

Most Common Questions
What happens during a reputation audit?
We review your name or brand across Google, Bing, review sites, social platforms, news sources, and data broker listings. We identify harmful content, gaps in positive coverage, and vulnerabilities you may not be aware of.
How is consulting different from done-for-you reputation management?
Consulting delivers the strategy and analysis. Done-for-you management is us executing the work. Some clients want both. Others just need the plan and carry out implementation themselves or with their own team.
Do you work with PR firms and in-house marketing teams?
Yes. We work alongside PR agencies, legal teams, and internal marketing departments. We fill in the ORM consulting expertise gap without replacing the relationships you already have.
What is included in the strategy you deliver?
The strategy covers a prioritized action list, recommended tactics for each issue, platform-specific guidance, content recommendations, and a monitoring setup. It is built to be actionable, not generic.
How long does a consulting engagement take?
Initial audits and strategy delivery typically take one to two weeks. Ongoing advisory retainers run monthly. The timeline depends on the complexity of your situation.
Can consulting help if I am planning a new launch or job search?
Yes. Proactive online reputation consulting is often the most cost-effective approach. We identify and fix problems before they affect a launch, fundraise, partnership, or career move.
What industries do you specialize in?
We work across legal, medical, financial, real estate, hospitality, technology, and e-commerce. We also work with executives, public figures, and private individuals regardless of industry.
How much does reputation consulting cost?
Cost varies by the depth of the audit and the scope of the engagement. We do not charge upfront. After a free initial review, we provide a clear proposal. You decide what to move forward with.
