Reputation is what a stranger finds when they type your name, and increasingly what an assistant says when they ask about you. ORM here means shaping both: the results page, the review profile, the owned assets and the community around the brand.
The posts run from framework to tactics to crisis. Read the strategy piece first, then use the review, monitoring and crisis guides as needed.

Reputation is operations, not suppression
Burying a bad result rarely lasts. What does is a steady review process, honest responses, owned pages that answer the questions people ask and a community where complaints are heard early. The strategy posts argue for design over damage control.

Questions people ask
- Can a negative result be removed?
- Sometimes, if it breaks a platform's policy. Often it cannot, and the better plan is to build stronger owned and third-party results. The removal guides explain the real processes.
- Does ORM include AI answers?
- Yes. A baseline of what assistants say about the brand is part of the audit, since those answers now shape first impressions.
- What is the first step?
- A branded search and review audit: what appears for the name, what customers say publicly and which assets you own. The ORM service page describes that audit.
