About the Book

In today’s digital-first world, your online reputation isn’t optional — it’s everything. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, professional, or public figure, what people find online shapes your opportunities, your brand, and your future.

In Reputation Reset, online reputation expert Scott Keever shares the proven 10-step system used by industry leaders to clean up search results, suppress negative content, build personal authority, and take full control of their digital narrative. As the founder of Reputation Pros — one of the industry’s leading ORM agencies — he’s distilled over a decade of real-world strategies into a system anyone can apply.

The 10-Step System

Reputation Reset provides a structured, actionable framework for taking control of what the world sees when it searches your name:

  1. Audit Your Current Reputation

    Understand exactly what appears across Google, social media, and AI platforms when someone searches for you.

  2. Map Your Digital Footprint

    Identify every property, profile, and mention associated with your name across the web.

  3. Set Strategic Goals

    Define what you want Page 1 of Google to look like for your name or brand.

  4. Claim Your Properties

    Secure and optimize profiles across the platforms that matter most for reputation control.

  5. Build Your Content Engine

    Create authoritative, SEO-optimized content that ranks for your name and reinforces your narrative.

  6. Suppress Negative Results

    Apply proven suppression techniques to push unfavorable content off the first page of search results.

  7. Activate Digital PR

    Earn media mentions, publication features, and high-authority backlinks that strengthen your digital presence.

  8. Manage Reviews & Social Proof

    Build a consistent portfolio of positive reviews and testimonials across platforms.

  9. Prepare for Crisis

    Develop a crisis communication plan so you can respond quickly and effectively when issues arise.

  10. Monitor & Maintain

    Set up ongoing monitoring systems to protect your reputation and catch emerging threats early.

Why This Book Matters Now

The AI Factor

The reputation landscape has fundamentally changed. It’s no longer just about Google’s ten blue links — AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity now generate instant summaries about people and brands. If your digital signals aren’t strong, consistent, and strategically managed, these systems will define you on their own terms. Reputation Reset addresses this new challenge head-on, showing you how to build a presence that AI systems describe accurately — based on information you’ve deliberately created.

Who This Book Is For

  • Executives and professionals whose career depends on what clients, employers, or investors find online
  • Entrepreneurs and business owners who want to protect and strengthen their brand’s digital presence
  • Public figures managing visibility in an era of AI-generated summaries and instant press cycles
  • Students and early-career professionals building a digital footprint that supports their future goals
  • Marketing professionals who advise clients on reputation and personal branding strategy
  • Anyone who’s ever searched their own name and wasn’t happy with what they found
