Why It Matters

What Customers Say About You Online Determines Whether They Call

Before a potential customer picks up the phone, they Google you. They check your reviews. They look at how you respond to feedback. Studies show that 93% of consumers read reviews before making a purchasing decision — and a business with fewer than 4 stars loses the majority of those potential customers.

We help you take control of your online reputation — generating more genuine reviews from happy customers, responding professionally to negative feedback, and monitoring your brand across Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, and beyond so nothing catches you off guard.

Review Generation

Systematic campaigns to encourage satisfied customers to leave 5-star reviews on Google and other platforms.

🔔

Brand Monitoring

24/7 alerts whenever your business is mentioned online — so you always know what’s being said about you.

🛡️

Negative Review Response

Professional, strategic responses to negative reviews that protect your brand and demonstrate your commitment to customers.

Key Benefits

The Business Impact of a Strong Online Reputation

📞

More Enquiries & Calls

A higher average star rating and more recent reviews directly increases the number of customers who choose to contact you over a competitor. Businesses with 4.5+ stars on Google receive significantly more calls than those below 4.0.

🔍

Better Google Rankings

Google rewards businesses with more, recent, and higher-quality reviews with better local search rankings. Improving your reviews isn’t just about trust — it directly impacts how prominently you appear in local search results.

🧱

Long-Term Brand Protection

One unaddressed negative review can undo months of good work. Proactive monitoring and professional responses protect your reputation in real time — ensuring a single bad experience doesn’t define your business online.

FAQ

Common Questions About Reputation Management

We can flag reviews that violate Google’s or a platform’s policies — such as fake reviews, competitor reviews, or reviews that contain personal information — and manage the dispute process. However, genuine negative reviews from real customers cannot be removed. Our approach is to respond to them professionally, address the issue where possible, and dilute their impact by generating more positive reviews over time.
The best approach is simply asking happy customers at the right moment — right after a successful job, delivery, or service when satisfaction is highest. We help you implement simple systems to do this consistently: a follow-up email, a text with a direct review link, or even a card handed to customers in person. When you ask the right way at the right time, most satisfied customers are happy to leave a review.
We monitor Google (by far the most important for Irish businesses), Facebook, Trustpilot, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and any industry-specific review platforms relevant to your sector. We also monitor social media mentions, so if someone talks about your business on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll know about it quickly.
Reputation recovery is one of the most impactful things we do. If your current rating is dragging down your business, we start with a reputation audit to understand the situation, then implement an accelerated review generation campaign to bring your average rating up over a period of months. We won’t promise overnight results, but we will show you a realistic roadmap to rebuilding your reputation.
Our reputation management packages are priced based on the number of platforms monitored and the level of review response and generation support required. Get in touch for a free reputation audit — we’ll tell you exactly where you stand and what it would cost to fix it.
