    • Anonymous Owner at Environ Skin Care
      5.0

      Public Relations Review from Anonymous

      As a national wholesale distributor for a pharmaceutical skin care line, we focus largely on B2B lead nurturing and must rely primarily on the 5WPR team to support our consumer outreach.  We have been clients of 5WPR for just over a year and the team has secured nearly 3 billion impressions.  The publications include national books such as Vogue, NewBeauty, Elle, StyleCaster, Well + Good, Who What Wear, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, and many more. One of our main goals was also to secure coverage in regional publications and media to help support our medspa clients.  5WPR aligned with our strategy and has secured a multitude of smaller market publications and broadcast segments which has helped increase exposure for our amazing medspa practices and lifted product and treatment sales. 5WPR is extremely proactive in seeking out influencers that are a fit for our skin care brand and technology.  When Hailey Bieber touted one of our products in a social post, 5WPR was swift at media hijacking, leveraging on the publicity and securing millions more impressions. The 5WPR team also keeps our brand in the hands of many editors with industry-relevant and thought-provoking story coverage.  Our award submissions are carefully considered and submitted on our behalf. We very much appreciate the training and education that the 5WPR team has committed to as our brand has a lot of science and technology.  The team has adopted our philosophy on education and continues to learn and harness ingredient and skin science to present our brand to the media. We feel that the 5WPR team is an extension of our staff family.  We feel supported and very comfortable reaching out with our needs anytime.  5WPR listens to our ideas and collaborates to institute strategies that hit measurable goals.

      Mobile App Development Review from Mohammed Mujahid

      Apptechies came in at the right time. I was looking for a way to make our services more accessible to clients who are always on the move. From the beginning, their team showed real interest in how our users interact with IP data and what would actually make their experience easier. They asked the right questions and gave thoughtful input that helped shape the app from the ground up. They kept me involved throughout the process, sending updates, showing progress, and always listening to feedback. What we ended up with was a clean, easy-to-use app that lets users log in, check updates on their cases, and get alerts in real time. Clients have already said they feel more connected and in control. Apptechies didnt just build what I described. They brought ideas that made the final product stronger. It felt like a real partnership, not just a service. They were easy to talk to, fast to act, and fully invested in getting it right.

      Mobile App Development Review from Robin Gadsby

      We needed a professional mobile app to showcase our creative work and connect with clients. Apptechies took our rough ideas and made them real. They started by asking good questions to understand exactly what we needed. Their team explained the process clearly without technical jargon. They helped us build the right features in the right order, focusing first on what mattered most to our business. The app launched on time and works exactly as promised. Our clients can now browse our portfolio and book consultations directly from their phones. The interface is clean and simple, just like we wanted. When we've needed small updates after launch, Apptechies handled them quickly. They've been reliable partners throughout the entire process. For any creative business needing a quality mobile app, we'd recommend working with them.

      Mobile App Development Review from Natalie Jane

      Apptechies built our mobile app from scratch, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. As a CEO, I don't have time for fluff or empty promises! I needed a team that could deliver, and they did. Right from our first meeting, they got what we were trying to do. No fancy tech talk, just straight answers and solid work. The app they built is fast, clean, and easy to use, exactly what we wanted. They didn't disappear after launch either. Whenever we've needed small fixes or updates, they've been quick to help. No run around, no excuses.

      Branding Review from Adam Bleibtreu

      We specialize in matching qualified contractors with clients in need of freelance, part-time, or full-time help. Our logo had been in place for 20 years and we needed help rebranding nearly every element of the company. There are fewer things more challenging than rebranding an entire firm, but La Visual provided a great brand illumination study, and the care they gave to the design was outstanding. La Visual is a partner that thinks about why you’re rebranding and who you're doing it for.

      Evan Patterson's Review Sourced from Google

      I reached out to get a quote on services from them on behalf of a client who sent me to them. The client I represented was no longer in a position to move forward upon receiving the quote. Since then, in 3 years, I reached out 4 times to receive additional quotes for other clients who sent me to find PR services. All 4 times I was ghosted. I was informed it was because I’m a “waste of time” - make that make sense. One client of mine says no to your services, and all of a sudden I am a waste of time and you don’t want what was easily going to be $100,000 in MRR?

      I honestly don’t have enough words to express the gratitude I have for the entire team at VioPixel. From the very beginning, they’ve been nothing short of exceptional — incredibly professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their friendly, down-to-earth approach made the whole experience not only enjoyable but deeply collaborative. What stood out most is how invested they were in understanding me, my brand, what it stands for, and how it fits into today’s market. They didn’t just “do a job” — they brought my vision to life in a way that felt aligned, modern, and deeply connected to the heart of my business. In the short time I’ve known them, they’ve already helped move my business forward in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Their ideas are brilliant, their execution is flawless, and their ability to transform dreams into reality is something truly special. They’ve truly become an integral part of my brand’s journey — not just as creative partners, but as a dream team deeply aligned with my purpose, vision, and values. It’s rare to find people who care this much and show up with so much heart, talent, and dedication. If you’re looking for a team who just gets it, works with integrity, and brings your dream to life — VioPixel is it.

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.
  • 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 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
