The Basics

What Is Online Reputation Repair?

Online reputation repair is the work of correcting the damage negative content does to your search results. It matters as much for a person whose career can turn on a single result as it does for a company that needs search to build trust with buyers.

Repair uses two methods. Removal takes negative content down at its source through content removal when a platform policy or legal basis allows it. Suppression ranks accurate, positive content above the items that cannot be removed. A strong program uses both, then puts safeguards in place to protect your online reputation from future damage.

Who We Help

Repair Built for Individuals and Businesses

Reputation damage looks different for a person than it does for a company. Our repair programs are built for both.

Individuals and Professionals

For professionals, job seekers, and private individuals, a damaging article, an old mugshot, or a single negative result can cost you jobs, clients, and relationships. We remove what we can and rebuild an accurate picture of who you are. For ongoing strategy beyond repair, see our personal reputation management service.

  • Negative article and news suppression
  • Mugshot and court-record removal
  • Personal search-result cleanup
  • Positive profile and content building
  • Ongoing reputation monitoring

Businesses and Brands

For companies of every size, from local businesses to Fortune 500 brands, negative press, reviews, and search results cost clients and revenue. We repair what buyers, partners, and candidates see when they search your name. For ongoing brand strategy beyond repair, see our business reputation management service.

How It Works

Our 5-Phase Repair Process

Every repair campaign follows the same five phases we have refined since 2014.

1

Reputation Analysis

We map every result tied to your name or brand and find exactly where the negative content ranks.

2

Web Property Development

We build and strengthen the owned assets that will carry your positive content in search.

3

Content Creation

We create accurate, high-quality content that reflects who you really are, not the damaging results.

4

Publishing

We publish that content across credible platforms built to rank and last.

5

Promotion

We promote and reinforce it so it rises above the negative results and holds over time.

The Repair Toolkit

What a Repair Program Includes

Repair combines several methods. Each is one part of a coordinated program, and each connects to a dedicated NetReputation service.

Proven Results

Does Reputation Repair Work?

Yes. We have repaired reputations for individuals and businesses around the world since 2014, and our specialists have resolved nearly every kind of reputation problem search can create. Repair does not erase the past overnight, and no honest firm can promise a specific search-engine result. What a well-run program does is steadily replace the negative picture in search with an accurate one, and protect it going forward.

How Long Does Repair Take?

Timelines depend on the severity of the issue and how much negative content is involved. Our guide to how long online reputation repair takes goes deeper, but here is what to expect across the three main areas.

Removing negative content

A few days to several weeks

Removal time depends on the type of content and the publisher. Some items come down quickly; others take longer, and some cannot be removed at all. When removal is not possible, we shift to suppression.

Suppressing search results

Three to six months or more

Suppression usually shows early progress within the first few months, with lasting results building from there. Entrenched results on high-authority sites take longer than a post on a small blog.

Rebuilding reviews and ratings

Gradual and ongoing

How quickly ratings improve depends on how many reviews you have and how recent they are. A large swing takes longer than a modest one, and the goal is a steady base of positive reviews that builds trust over time.

What Does Reputation Repair Cost?

Cost depends on several factors: the nature and severity of the content, whether removal or suppression is the right approach, the number of results involved, and how quickly you need progress. Our guide to reputation management cost breaks these factors down in detail. We build each campaign around your goals and budget rather than a fixed package, and our reputation consulting team scopes it clearly before any work begins.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the online reputation repair process?

Repair follows five phases we have used since 2014: reputation analysis, web property development, content creation, publishing, and promotion. We find where the negative content ranks, build and strengthen positive assets, create accurate content, then publish and promote it so it rises above the damaging results.

Does online reputation repair actually work?

Yes. We have helped individuals and businesses repair their reputations since 2014, across nearly every kind of issue search can create. Results build over time rather than overnight, and we are honest at the start about what is achievable in your specific case.

What is the difference between reputation repair and reputation management?

Repair fixes damage that has already happened: it removes or suppresses the negative content pulling down your search results. Reputation management is the ongoing practice of monitoring and protecting your online image so new problems are caught early and your positive presence keeps growing. Many clients start with repair and move into ongoing personal reputation management or business reputation management once their results are back on track.

What kinds of content can you remove?

Many harmful items can be taken down at the source and de-indexed when they violate a platform's terms of service, breach copyright under the DMCA, or have another legal basis. Common examples include certain mugshots (see our guide to removing mugshots), revenge-site posts, sensitive personal information on data broker sites, and defamatory or false social media comments. Some content cannot be removed, and in those cases we move to suppression.

What happens when a negative result cannot be removed?

Suppression becomes the main tool. We create and rank accurate, positive content above the damaging results until they sit on pages almost no one visits. Our guide to suppressing Google search results explains how the process works.

How much does reputation repair cost?

Cost depends on the severity of the content, whether removal or suppression is needed, the number of results involved, and how quickly you need progress. We scope each campaign to your goals and budget and quote it clearly after a free analysis. See our cost guide for the factors involved.

Do you guarantee results?

NetReputation backs content removal campaigns with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, which covers your satisfaction with our work and service. Because search engines control their own results, we do not guarantee a specific ranking or that a specific item will be removed. We tell you honestly what is achievable before we begin.
