Online Reputation Management (ORM) is the practice of monitoring and influencing how your brand is perceived online. It involves tracking mentions, generating positive reviews, and suppressing negative search results.
Google uses "Sentiment Analysis" as a ranking signal. If the first page of Google for your brand name is full of 1-star reviews and "scam" warnings, your click-through rate (CTR) and conversions will tank.
