  • 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.

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:

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
