HLK Marketing is a boutique online reputation management agency based in Huntington Beach, California, serving clients across the United States and internationally. Founded in 2015 by Hayden Koch, the firm specializes in high-stakes reputation work for people and organizations whose search results carry real financial and professional consequence chief executives, founders, investors, public figures, financial advisors, physicians, and law firms.

The firm's core practice is online reputation management: identifying damaging search results, pursuing removal at the source where platform policy or legal grounds allow, and suppressing what cannot be removed by building and strengthening authoritative properties that outrank it. This includes negative article and news suppression, defamation and mugshot removal, forum and complaint-site cleanup, and comprehensive Google search results repair for personal and brand name queries.

HLK Marketing also operates one of the earlier dedicated practices in AI reputation management. As large language models increasingly mediate how people research individuals and companies, the firm monitors and corrects how clients are represented across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, and Grok correcting the underlying sources these systems draw from and tracking how each model's output shifts over time. Related services include generative engine optimization and AI SEO, structured to make client-controlled content the cited source in AI-generated answers.

Supporting services include traditional search engine optimization, paid search management, review management and removal, review generation, and personal and corporate branding.

The firm operates on a deliberately small client roster. Confidentiality is central to how it works: NDAs are standard, intake is private, and most engagements are never publicly disclosed.

Eric Bergemann's Review Sourced from Google

I’ve been working with Hayden on my online reputation for a few years now, and I want to say that he truly delivers results.His deep understanding of how search engines and online platforms operate makes him the go-to expert for reputation management.Even though we consider ourselves pretty tech-savvy, our efforts didn’t get us far. After months of trying on my own, Hayden stepped in and made noticeable progress in just weeks.He’s efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I’ve already recommended him to people I know and will keep doing so! "

JI's Review Sourced from Google

Hayden helped me manage my online reputation back in 2018-2019. I am coming back 4 years later to tell y’all he’s incredible!His knowledge and understanding of how the algorithms work makes him the best choice for online reputation management.I am a fairly tech savvy gal, so I tried to do this on my own, DIY style and got nowhere. After a couple of months I found Hayden and he did what I couldn’t within a couple of weeks!!I would recommend him to my family and friends!! "
