Our mission

To give every business and individual real control over how they are seen online, across search and AI, with strategy built by people, not templates.

Reputation is no longer just what ranks on Google. It is what a hiring manager reads, what an investor finds, and what an AI assistant repeats when someone asks about you. Our job is to make sure that story is accurate, current, and working in your favor, on every surface where decisions get made.

Our story

Built to fix what other firms only manage

TheBestReputation was founded in 2017 on a simple idea: online reputation work should be strategic, transparent, and led by senior people who actually answer the phone. What began as a small team in Williamsburg, Virginia has grown into one of the fastest growing reputation firms in the country, ranked No. 201 on the 2025 Inc. 5000.

Today, under CEO Chris Hinman, we protect companies, executives, and public figures across search engines and the AI systems that increasingly shape first impressions. Our work spans content removal, suppression, digital PR, and AI visibility, always with a removal first mindset and a fixed, transparent scope.

What we stand for

Our core values

The principles that shape every campaign, report, and client relationship.

Removal first

We pursue permanent deletion and de-indexing before suppression, because content that is gone cannot come back.

Confidentiality

Every engagement is private. We sign mutual NDAs on request and never name a client without written permission.

Senior ownership

The strategist you meet is the one running your program. US based, with no offshore account queues.

Transparency

Fixed scope, clear reporting, and one honest quote. No open ended retainers or hourly surprises.

Built for AI search

We track how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity describe you, not just where you rank on Google.

Results over volume

We measure success by retention and outcomes, not by how many logos we can list on a page.

How we operate

A service model built to earn your stay

Transparent, flexible pricing

In a crowded market, your service model is what sets you apart. Every client gets custom pricing based on their specific deliverables, and every contract is cancel anytime. That keeps us motivated to deliver every single month, because clients stay because they want to, not because they are locked in.

A hybrid execution model

Our core services are handled in-house, and we keep expanding that internal capability because in-house execution delivers better quality and efficiency. We have also built strong partnerships with experienced vendors and specialists, so we can take on even the most complex challenges. It is about knowing when to bring in the right expertise for the best outcome.

Built for any industry

We serve a wide range of industries and clients, with no single sector we are limited to. Businesses often benefit most, since their reputational challenges tend to be more complex and layered. For individuals we take a targeted approach; for companies, a broader multi-channel effort. The fundamentals stay the same, and we tailor the execution to fit.

In their words

Team quotes

Do not confuse confidence with clarity. Your job is not to sound certain. Your job is to build a plan, communicate it, and execute with consistency.

Chris HinmanChief Executive Officer

Your presence is valuable, your work is crucial, but you have built something that does not fall apart the moment you step away.
