What is Online Reputation Management?

Online Reputation Management (ORM) is the process of monitoring, influencing, and shaping your brand’s public perception online. It involves a suite of strategies designed to ensure that when customers search for your business, they find positive, accurate, and compelling information. For businesses in New Zealand, where word-of-mouth and community trust play a significant role, a proactive ORM strategy is foundational.

This isn’t just about deleting negative reviews; it’s about building a fortress of positive content, engaging with your audience authentically, and swiftly addressing any issues that arise to maintain trust and credibility.
