You need digital brand management if:

- You don’t know what your overall digital reputation is or what is influencing it.
Our Approach: Visibility, Discoverability, Accuracy
A strong digital brand presence owes its existence to credible, authoritative sources of truth. These sources must be consistent and easily discoverable by anyone using traditional search engines and LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.
The Digital Brand Reputation Audit
A digital brand reputation audit is a comprehensive look at your entire online existence.
We will:
- Assess: We review your brand’s presence across key platforms.
- Analyze: We identify any areas of concern and uncover opportunities for growth.
- Plan: We deliver a personalized implementation plan that details exactly what we’ll do to correct, build, and protect your digital brand reputation.
The Core Pillars
We analyze:
- Wikipedia: Wikipedia is foundational to a digital brand reputation because it is one of the world’s most visited and trusted websites. A well-managed Wikipedia page signals authority to search engines and is often the first result people see. Large Language Models like those powering ChatGPT and Gemini often pull information directly from Wikipedia.
- GEO: This is about ensuring your brand ranks highly across generative results, such as AI Overviews.
- LLM Optimization: Large Language Models power tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. We work to ensure your brand is accurately represented across all these tools.
- Search Reputation: This involves managing the results of traditional search engines, like Google. These results include news articles, reviews, and social media.
- Additional Reputation Sites: We assess and can engage with all brand mentions and reviews, keeping you plugged in and up-to-date.

Digital Brand Management FAQ
A Wikipedia page is a foundational asset of your digital brand reputation. Its high authority and trust rating with search engines means it consistently ranks at the top of search results. LLMs, like those powering ChatGPT and Gemini, use Wikipedia as a primary source of information. A well-managed Wikipedia page ensures that these elements are synthesizing accurate, up-to-date information.
Your company needs digital brand management if you want to preserve and protect your all-important digital reputation. Specific instances that can point to a more urgent, rather than a proactive, need include:
- Inaccurate representation in AI
- No representation in AI
- Outdated and/or negative search results
- Inconsistent information presented across different online platforms
