Best Online Reputation Management Services

We know that different businesses and individuals have distinct reputation management needs. Our staff researched and reviewed dozens of reputation management services, and came up with the ones we think are best for both businesses and individuals. Here is a roundup of our best picks and an explanation of how we chose them.

Reputation.com offers reputation management services for both businesses and individuals, but it was the company’s wide range of business services that impressed us. With tailored solutions for various industries, including automotive and health care, along with two different service packages to choose from based on your needs, Reputation.com had an option for every business. We also liked the company’s review kiosk system, through which business owners are given a tablet to use to collect reviews from their customers in person. In addition, we were highly impressed by the company’s great customer service. Go here for a full review of Reputation.com’s reputation management services.

Like Reputation.com, BrandYourself offers services for both individuals and businesses, but its unique approach to personal reputation management is what pushed the company to the top of our list. Its “do-it-yourself” options allow individuals to take care of their online reputations themselves, but the company also offers options for clients who need more help managing their reputation on their own, or for those who’d prefer experts handle it for them. Its prices are low compared to those of many other reputation management services, and the company even offers a free subscription. What really impressed us was how up front the company is about what it does, and how easy it is to use the DIY tool. Go here for a full review of BrandYourself’s reputation management services.

To select the best reputation management services for businesses and individuals, we started by listing more than 40 of the vendors we found online, including those that were reviewed by other websites. From there, we eliminated vendors that didn’t specialize in comprehensive reputation management — many companies focused solely on SEO, social media, online reviews or public relations, rather than a combination of them all.

After narrowing down the list to only the vendors that specialize in comprehensive services, we looked for companies that detailed exactly what they do and how their services work, and most importantly, whether they specialized in reputation management services for businesses, individuals or both. We were able to narrow down the list to six candidates for our best picks: BrandYourself.com, Reputation911, Reputation Communications, Reputation X, Reputation.com, and WebiMax.

We then analyzed each service based on the following factors:

  • Transparency: This included how much information we could gather about the company from its website, how up front it was about its reputation management process and what tactics it uses (avoiding questionable black-hat tactics was key).
  • Cost: This factor was based not only on whether the packages offered were reasonable compared to other services, but also if the companies were up front about their pricing information on their websites.
  • Focus on reputation management: Many top companies offer several other services, but we wanted companies that focused solely on reputation management.
  • Types of services offered (individual vs. businesses, or both)
  • Extra services or unique features offered
  • Customer service (both online and over the phone)
  • Reviews and complaints from websites like Ripoff Report and the Better Business Bureau
