Ethical, Policy-Based Reputation Management — Not Empty Promises.

Online reputation management is the practice of monitoring, challenging, and improving how you or your business appear online — across search engines, review platforms, and social media. We only ever work within each platform’s policies and UK law, and we never promise outcomes no one can control.

  • We assess every case against platform policy and UK law before taking any action
  • No fake removal requests, fraudulent legal claims, or manipulative tactics — ever
  • Clear explanation of what can and cannot realistically be achieved, before work begins
  • Ongoing monitoring so new issues are caught early, not after they’ve escalated

Questions

Frequently
Asked

What is online reputation management?

Online reputation management (ORM) is the practice of monitoring and improving how a person or business appears online, across search engines, review platforms and social media — through a combination of removal requests, search suppression, positive content and ongoing monitoring.

Can you remove any negative review from Google?

No. We can only request removal of reviews that violate Google’s own policies, such as fake reviews, spam, harassment or conflicts of interest. Google makes the final decision on individual reviews. Genuine, policy-compliant reviews cannot be guaranteed removal — but we can advise on professional response strategies.

How long does Google review removal take?

Timelines vary depending on the platform and the nature of the report, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. We provide realistic expectations as part of your initial consultation.

Can you guarantee removal of search results?

No reputable provider can guarantee removal of a specific search result, as this decision ultimately rests with the platform or search engine. Where removal isn’t possible, we use ethical suppression strategies to reduce a result’s visibility.

What is search result suppression?

Suppression is the process of publishing stronger, more relevant and more authoritative content so that it ranks above unwanted search results — a widely used, ethical alternative when direct removal isn’t available.

Is online reputation management legal?

Yes. Ethical reputation management works within each platform’s policies and applicable UK law, including data protection legislation and defamation law. We do not use manipulative, fraudulent or policy-violating tactics.

How much does reputation management cost in the UK?

Costs vary significantly depending on the scope of work — from a single review challenge to an ongoing monitoring and suppression campaign. We provide tailored quotes following a free initial consultation.

Do you work with individuals as well as businesses?

Yes. We support both personal reputation management (for professionals, executives and individuals) and business reputation management (for SMEs, corporate brands and organisations of all sizes).

What is the “right to be forgotten”?

The “right to be forgotten,” formally the right to erasure under UK GDPR, allows individuals in certain circumstances to request that search engines remove specific personal information from search results. Eligibility depends on the nature of the content and is assessed case by case.

Can a fake review be removed from Google?

Fake reviews typically violate Google’s review policies and are strong candidates for removal. We assess the review, gather relevant evidence, and submit the appropriate report through Google’s official channels.

What should I do if I receive a wave of negative reviews at once?

This can indicate a coordinated attack or a genuine service issue. We recommend an urgent audit to identify the cause, assess which reviews may violate platform policy, and build an appropriate crisis response plan.

Can you remove content from social media platforms?

We can report content that violates a given platform’s community guidelines — including harassment, impersonation and policy-violating posts — through that platform’s official reporting channels. Outcomes depend on the platform’s own policies.

What is crisis reputation management?

Crisis reputation management is the coordinated response to sudden negative publicity — such as a viral complaint, damaging press coverage or online attack — combining rapid assessment, appropriate communication and a structured longer-term recovery plan.

How do you monitor my online reputation?

We track search results, new reviews and relevant online mentions of your name or brand on an ongoing basis, flagging emerging issues so they can be addressed early.

Will responding to a negative review make things worse?

Not if done professionally. A calm, factual, non-defensive public response often improves perception, even when the review itself remains live. We can help craft appropriate responses as part of our service.

Can you help remove an old news article about me?

It depends on the circumstances. In limited cases, outdated or clearly inaccurate articles may be eligible for removal or delisting; in most cases, we recommend a suppression and digital PR strategy to reduce the article’s visibility.

What industries do you work with?

We work across a wide range of sectors, including legal, medical, hospitality, property, trades, education, technology and corporate brands — see our industries section above for sector-specific guidance.

How is business reputation management different from personal reputation management?

Business reputation management typically focuses on reviews, business listings and branded search results, while personal reputation management focuses on an individual’s name, professional profile and personal search results. The underlying strategies often overlap.

Do you use any fraudulent or fake tactics to remove content?

No. We do not create fake removal requests, submit fraudulent legal claims, or use any tactic that breaches platform policy or the law. Every strategy we use is ethical, policy-based and transparent.

How quickly can you start working on my case?

Following your free consultation, we can typically begin an initial audit and strategy within a few working days, with urgent crisis situations prioritised accordingly.

What happens if a review or search result cannot be removed?

We pivot to suppression and positive content strategies — building stronger, more relevant, more visible content that reduces the prominence of the unwanted material over time.

Can reputation management help with local SEO too?

Yes. Reputation signals — reviews, ratings and Google Business Profile accuracy — are a meaningful factor in local search visibility, so reputation management and local SEO naturally support one another.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. All client information and case details are treated as strictly confidential throughout our engagement.
