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.

Owned and earned build durable reputation, while paid amplifies in the moment and fades when the spend stops.
