Terry Van Gelder's Review Sourced from Google
Firecracker PR formulated and executed a complete communications plan to support the launch of our AGT Hybrid Greenhouse. Because this product launch was unlike anything else on the market, we were seeking an agency that could help us create the messaging and positioning from the ground up. Firecracker exceeded our expectations, helping us land key articles in outlets such as International Business Times. They also played a significant role is the AGT Greenhouse being named a Gold Edison Award winner. Firecracker also managed our social media, web copy and search engine optimization strategies.

Brian T.
Manager at The International School of America
5.0★
Digital Marketing Review from Brian T.
After working with other school marketing agencies with little success, I was originally skeptical about working with a school marketing agency again. I was lucky enough to connect with Chuck and his AMAZING team as they helped with our Digital Marketing Blueprint and then customized the our website for The International School of America. (To view their customized website the created for us at www.internationalschoolofamerica.com) Every meeting we had was focused on our long term goal and building our school's brand and identity. The team thoughtfully listened intently and researched purposefully, helping to bring a complex vision to a site that was easy to understand for all users. If you are looking for a team of experts who truly care about making a difference for you, your school and your students, I encourage you to speak with this team. By far, working with the team at Kreative Webworks was the best decision our school has taken towards our goal of offering learning options to students worldwide as the education landscape in America and the world continues to shift.

The Kreative Webworks team is excellent! Great to work with -- responsive, thoughtful, and thorough. They took the time to really listen to the needs of our organization, and then developed a "Blueprint" plan for us to follow to increase our reach through a digital marketing campaign. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. Highly recommended!

We are a small volunteer group under the umbrella of the Medical Reserve Corps. Limited funds and limited website skills. Egghead has been very patient offering us ideas and encouragement to use our website in more versatile ways and when we mess up, gets things corrected for us n a timely way. Worth the conversation with them to see what they can make happen for you.

I'd like to take a moment to give a big thank you to Wowbix, the digital marketing agency that totally revamped the way people see my business online. Before Wowbix, my website was outdated and I didn't do much online promotion. In other words, Wowbix did a whole revamp. They also began implementing a solid digital marketing strategy that included SEO, social media marketing, and more. Now, I am getting more website traffic and leads. They have a real desire to see my business succeed and prosper.

Victoria was very patient and understanding with me as we collaborated to create a website that would perfectly present my vision. I am not a tech savvy individual. The same cannot be said about Victoria. Thank you so much, my friend, for a job well done!

Reputation management directly affects revenue and trust.
Reputation management typically includes:
Monitoring brand sentiment across search engines, review platforms, social media, news sites, and online communities
Managing reviews and ratings, including responding to feedback and encouraging positive customer experiences
Improving search visibility by promoting favorable content and addressing harmful or misleading material when appropriate
Crisis and issue response to contain negative press, complaints, or reputational risks
Content and presence management to ensure brand-owned channels accurately reflect company values and messaging
In the U.S., 67.7% of consumers say online reviews influence purchasing decisions, and buyers read an average of 9-10 reviews before making a purchase. Poor brand perception can cost businesses up to 14.7% in lost revenue, while positive reviews increase trust and conversions.
How much do reputation management companies in the USA charge?
Reputation management pricing in the United States ranges between $100 and $500 per hour or $5,000 and $20,000 per engagement. Final billing will depend on agency scope, engagement size, and time commitment. Here’s what you can expect:
Average hourly rate: According to DesignRush data, the top reputation management firms charge an average of $107 per hour.
Lower minimum budgets: 19.5% of agencies accept projects with a minimum budget under $1,000.
Higher minimum budgets: Only 0.7% of agencies require a minimum project budget of $50,000, showing that fewer agencies operate at that entry point.
Typical engagement cost: Online reputation management solutions generally range from $5,000 to $20,000.
Time commitment: These engagements typically involve 50-200 hours spread over several months, depending on the scope and complexity.
Can a business rebuild trust after reputational damage?
Yes, they can absolutely rebuild trust after reputational damage.
Research shows that 90% of consumers trust brands more when they openly acknowledge mistakes, and thoughtful responses to negative reviews lead 33% of customers to update or remove critical feedback.
Companies with mature reputation management strategies recover up to three times faster, often within weeks rather than months, by addressing issues head-on instead of staying silent.
If you’re in this situation, a reputation management agency will help you do the following:
Assess the impact by tracking sentiment, reviews, customer churn, and revenue signals.
Align internal stakeholders so leadership, legal, PR, and support teams share one consistent response.
Respond transparently with explicit acknowledgment and visible corrective actions.
Engage directly with feedback to demonstrate accountability and regain confidence.
Reinforce positive trustsignals by amplifying verified reviews, testimonials, and earned coverage.
What’s the difference between brand management and reputation management?
Brand management and reputation management influence how a company is perceived, but they serve different purposes. Specifically, brand management focuses on the image a company intentionally creates.Reputation management, on the other hand, reflects how a company is actually perceived based on real-world behavior.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of their differences:
Brand Management
Reputation Management
Brand identity, positioning, and messaging
Visual elements like logos and design systems
Customer experience across marketing channels
Customer reviews and ratings
Employee and leadership actions
Media coverage and public response to issues
How brands handle feedback, complaints, and crises
With 81% of US consumers saying they must trust a brand before buying, both brand management and reputation management play a crucial role in revenue and growth.
Is reputation management different for small businesses vs. large enterprises?
Yes, reputation management looks very different for small businesses and large enterprises, mainly due to visibility and risk exposure.
For small businesses, it’s highly immediate and localized. Most customers discover small brands through search results and reviews, and 90% of consumers say positive reviews influence their buying decisions.
With fewer brand touchpoints and limited margin for error, even a small number of negative reviews can directly impact sales. As a result, these companies have their reputation management provider focus on:
Monitoring and responding to reviews
Local search visibility and credibility
Consistent customer experience and feedback
As for large enterprises, reputation management operates at a broader level. It typically involves:
Cross-functional coordination across PR, legal, HR, and leadership
Ongoing media and sentiment monitoring
Governance, leadership visibility, and crisis preparedness
Proposals
