      The Matrix Bricks team helped us migrate a website from Drupal to Hubspot. They were responsible for utilizing the Hubspot CMS to create page templates, developing custom code, and migrating content. Matrix Bricks provided excellent project management, handling resources, meetings, invoices, and scheduling efficiently. Their communication was always prompt and clear. They were very easy to work with and seamlessly became an extension of our own team.

      These guys are the real deal. I needed help cleaning up some old search results that were affecting my job prospects. They explained the process clearly and got results faster than I expected. Now when you Google me, it actually reflects who I am today—not mistakes from a decade ago. Highly recommend.

      Web Design Review from Nevena Žeželj

      Working with Jungle Creatives has been an outstanding experience from start to finish!! They are a group of truly exceptional, creative, and highly talented individuals who go far beyond just technical skill.. What impressed me personally the most is their ability to deeply understand what a brand stands for and translate that seamlessly into both powerful visual identity and compelling copy. From our very first meeting, everything felt aligned and effortless. The entire process from initial conversations to final project rollout was smooth, professional, and extremely well-structured. Timely delivery, excellence, and reliability are exactly what define their work I would say. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jungle Creatives to anyone looking for a team that not only delivers, but truly elevates your brand. I mean this from the heart. Cheers, Nevena

Online Reputation Management FAQs

What does a reputation management company do?

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.

  • 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 trust signals 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
