The timeline for results depends on the severity of the reputation issue, the competition in search results, and the platforms involved. Typically, an ORM company takes three to six months to show significant improvements, though minor issues can be resolved faster. For example, suppressing negative content on search engines requires consistent SEO and content publishing, which takes time to influence rankings. On the other hand, handling review responses or social media complaints can deliver immediate improvements in customer perception. Businesses should understand that ORM is not a one-time fix but an ongoing process that strengthens brand trust over time.
