Reputation Management for Small Businesses
Online reviews and customer feedback directly influence how people view your business. I help small businesses build stronger reputations by increasing positive reviews, monitoring public feedback, and resolving issues before they escalate—without the complexity or cost of a full agency.
What is Reputation Management?
Reputation management is the ongoing process of improving how your business is perceived online. That includes increasing positive reviews, responding to customer feedback, and maintaining consistent brand messaging across platforms like Google, Yelp, Facebook, and industry-specific directories.
As a freelance digital marketing specialist, I focus on creating systems that help you take control of your online presence, resolve negative experiences constructively, and stand out as a business that customers can trust.
Why It Matters for Small Businesses
- 87% of consumers read reviews before choosing a local business
- A few poor reviews can cost you valuable leads
- Responding professionally builds credibility and trust
- A strong reputation improves your search visibility
- It directly influences conversions, bookings, and sales
Managing your reputation proactively shows customers that you care—before they ever speak to you.
