the IT expert reviews for real!
so i did a search on myself, results come back with anything but me and they say I failed! as an IT expert I find this to be another Norton piece of trash just like their identity protection. what a scam

Scam Reported
Not that it'll matter, as they'll probably suppress this review, but this company is a huge scam! They are quick to take your payment but slow as all heck to refund you after they lied to you and promised service.
Stay away. Already reported them to BBB and FBI.

Generic Content Creation. Poor Account Management.
I understand that it can take time to get results with a project like this.
But what I didn't expect, was that the content and assets created would actually harm my reputation more than it helped in the meantime.
Reputation Defender created a new website full of obscure, purely SEO type content which did nothing to explain who I was. Rather than just promoting my existing website.
They didn't even discuss that strategy with me. They simply went ahead and registered a whole new domain and built a weird website to rank at the top of my search term.
The social media posts created were minimal in number, generic in content and did next to nothing to build my brand.
When I raised issues with them, very little was done. And promises were made to take immediate action that weren't delivered on time.
So bad and harmful were the assets they created for my business, that I actually had to insist on them being taken offline.
A few hours of basic work on my own over a couple of days netted far better results, far more quickly than several months of working with them.
The account management was almost non-existent. With only one brief meeting at the beginning. And only an occasional email, several weeks apart.
Content was occasionally sent over for approval. But without any context for it's use. Leading to a raft of low-quality placements.
I would strongly advise investing your money elsewhere. Or simply spend one afternoon doing it yourself.

A Necessary Solution
I have been a client with Reputation Defender for almost three years. They have met the expectations I had in mind when I initially signed. My career is no longer paralyzed because of the results they have delivered. My only regret is that I had not signed up one year earlier. The interactions with my most recent account manager, Cliff Gollehon, embodied the best customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I recently found out that Cliff is no longer with the company. If someone could share that sentiment with Cliff it would be appreciated.

One of the best decisions I made in 2024 was becoming a member of Reputation Defender. They are the best! I was fortunate to have Cliff on my team who listened and guided me through the process for a positive outcome. I highly recommend Reputation Defender!

I picked reputation defender over the…
I picked reputation defender over the other options because I liked the name reputation because that is what I felt like I wanted to do for myself was defend my reputation. I had a sensitive issue that was hard for me to talk about to anyone but the 3 people I talked to made me feel comfortable that no matter what my issue is they were there to help me. My case manager was Brittany and she let me tell her what I wanted and expected from her help and service and she explained what she does and I said ok let’s do it. I told her about a site that i really didn’t want to be a part of that had my name associated to it and I couldn’t get my name removed because I didn’t know how to find the right url and whatever and when she said she will check it out she did get my name removed from that site and called me after she did and was actually excited for me and that made me know she really does want to defend people’s reputations. So I can strongly recommend this service and Brittany to anyone that needs help to get unnecessary things online removed and have some peace of mind they can have some privacy from being exposed on the World Wide Web!

My experience has been great working with Brittany & the team
My experience has been great working with Brittany. Brittany properly managed my case and always was nice when we spoke updating me in a very timely & concise manner. Brittany & the team were very prompt and thorough with updates. Her being nice was helpful because dealing with a circumstance where you need ReputationDefender can be very uncomfortable & embarrassing.

#=> Know your data
#=> Know your data
Empower yourself by actively managing your online data, given its pivotal role in career hire and no-hire decisions. Companies know about you before you know about them. Surveillance is REAL, but with Reputation Defender, you've assured the fairest and most equitable assembly of personal information for employer background checks, tenants, and more.
My teaching paradigm centers on preparedness, relentless upskilling, and deciphering your data for science and personal use. I developed the >_7.pillars.of.python initiative to equip students with skills to create data structures necessary for artificial intelligence, with one key principle: know your data.
I recommend Reputation Defender to all my students before graduation to remedy issues like mistaken identity before seeking employment. WallStreet invests significant funds into Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) conglomerates that actively gather prospective personal information. MartketsandMarkets(2023) states that the ATS market will grow 39% from 2.3 to 3.2 billion in 2021 to 2026. COVID-19 permanently altered employers’ appetite to know everything about you, and outfits like Recruitbot will keep delivering its snooping technology focused 100% on providing the right candidate.
Reputation Defender provides a reliable, high-quality support structure that actively monitors and protects your information rights. They redact false or inappropriate information, providing a safety net toward future employment.
Reputation Defender isn’t going away and protects your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

I rarely write reviews however I felt this one was warranted. Reputation Defender is a very professional company and my personal assistant, Brittany Samuel was outstanding! Brittany was attentive to my concerns and she provided great followup when needed. Do not hesitate to utilize Reputation Defender should this type of service be of need.

Great customer service
I have been working with Brittany for the past year, and she has been amazing. She made sure that all my personal information was removed and has continued to check in with me throughout the year. She answers every text message, email, and phone call within 24 hours. This experience has been great and efficient.

Brittany is amazing
Brittany is amazing. Not as thrilled with the content team, as they sometime did sloppy work, but my liaison with the company was excellent! When the content team slacked, she had them step up. Thanks, Brittany!!

Great experience with Reputation Defender
Our overall experience with reputation defender was fantastic. Specially, with Brittany - our favorite Reputation Advisor. She was always very professional, very understanding and thorough with reviewing our account progress, scheduling our meeting calls and passing on our feedback to the writing team. We felt extremely comfortable with her and her fantastic work.

Experts at defending.
The staff had an understanding of what I was going through and what was necessary to help me out. They were very exacting in the background questions necessary and developed a strategy to help me.

The company with positive results
The best thing was the results that the company obtained for me with my particular situation. Also, the associate that I work with her name was Brittany and she was absolutely amazing in keeping me up-to-date on everything as it was happening. It took a couple of months, but she was on it and absolutely relentless and wouldn’t let go. I would highly recommend this company and I will continue my renewals with them for the future and recommend them to everyone that I come in contact with that needs their help.
Thank You
Peter
