What is domain strategy for reputation management?
Domain strategy in reputation work consolidates authority on the canonical entity home. Own the primary .com plus the relevant variants and country-code domains, redirect strategic mismatches and acquired variants to the canonical site so their authority consolidates rather than fragments, and use subdomains or microsites carefully for genuinely distinct programs. Scattered domains split entity signals and authority; a consolidated structure concentrates them on one home.

What is the role of a corporate website in reputation management?
The corporate website is the canonical entity home - the property that defines a company's official identity and that every other signal should point back to. It carries the Organization schema, canonical descriptions, leadership bios, and press resources that Google and the AI engines use to verify who the company is.

What owned properties should every company have for reputation management?
Every company should own a corporate site with Organization schema and clean About and leadership pages, expanded FAQ content structured for extraction, complete executive LinkedIn profiles, a Knowledge Panel, an accurate Wikidata entry, a Wikipedia article where it genuinely meets notability, verified social profiles, and a structured press hub. Each property points to the same identity, and together they fill the branded result set.

What is the difference between earned, owned, and paid media in reputation?
Earned media is independent third-party coverage you influence but do not control; owned media is the properties you control completely, like your site and executive profiles; paid media is advertising, where you control the message but rent the placement. Owned and earned build durable reputation, while paid amplifies in the moment and fades when the spend stops.

How do you prioritize which owned properties to build first?
Prioritize by impact and dependency. Build the corporate site and executive LinkedIn profiles first, then Wikidata and a Wikipedia article where notability supports one (start Wikipedia early, since it is slow), then the Knowledge Panel, then second-tier platforms like Crunchbase and contributor profiles.
