Reputation X review
Reputation X is a long-running U.S. reputation-management firm with a current service mix spanning search-result repair, Wikipedia work, review management, Knowledge Panels and AI-output correction. Its pricing is more public than many agency peers, while several company-profile claims and buyer protections still need clarification.
Reviewed September 2026
Current company record
The firm's own 2026 fact sheet now places the business in Austin
Sources: Reputation X About and fact sheet; external history cross-checked against BBB and Clutch.
Public-record reconciliation
Several current disclosures do not match older third-party profiles or other pages on the site
The differences do not by themselves indicate a problem, but they affect basic procurement checks and should be resolved in the proposal or contract.
The current company fact sheet lists Austin, Texas as headquarters and says offices are in the United States only. BBB and Clutch still list the Mill Valley, California address.
The About page says work has been delivered in more than 100 countries and 25 languages through translation partners. The testimonials page also says more than 100 countries in its body copy, but one metric on that same page reads 20+ countries served.
Reputation X's ethics page states that it maintains BBB accreditation. The current BBB profile gives the business an A+ rating while explicitly stating that Reputation X is not BBB Accredited.
Current service model
The offer now reaches beyond conventional search suppression
Search-result repair remains central, but the current catalog places substantial emphasis on Wikipedia, entity information and AI-output correction.
Suppression, content development and removal coordination remain the core ORM work
The current pricing page separates starter, professional and enterprise search-repair campaigns according to the number and strength of negative results and the required international or legal coordination.
Editing, article creation and ongoing monitoring are sold as distinct services
The agency markets research, sourcing, peer review and work through independent editors rather than presenting Wikipedia as a simple content-placement product.
Knowledge Panels and WikiData are treated as separate reputation infrastructure
Current packages cover optimization, new panel creation and ongoing maintenance, with structured data and entity association included in the workflow.
AI audits and source-level correction are now a formal service line
The AI misinformation service maps cited sources, checks entity records and retests outputs across major answer engines. The page also states that the agency cannot directly edit a model or guarantee exact wording.
Review monitoring and response sit alongside broader reputation campaigns
The review service covers monitoring, response and compliant review-request programs across major platforms.
Wikipedia delivery model
Wikipedia is unusually prominent in the agency's current product mix
This part of the offer is more specific than the generic “Wikipedia editing” language used by many reputation firms, although buyers still depend on Wikipedia's volunteer processes.
The agency says it does not employ Wikipedia editors directly
Its current Wikipedia service page says Reputation X prepares research and works with independent editors who disclose paid relationships under Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest rules.
The agency also states that volunteer editors decide what remains published, so article creation and individual edits cannot be guaranteed as fixed outcomes.
The detailed editing page says that if measurable improvement is not visible within 45 days of the first publication round, the client receives a full refund. Buyers should obtain the measurement definition and refund mechanics in writing.

Published pricing
Reputation X publishes more usable price anchors than most full-service ORM agencies
The figures are described as starting points or sample investments rather than fixed quotes, but they let buyers estimate the order of magnitude before a sales call.
The company's FAQ says reputation-management campaigns commonly fall in this monthly range depending on complexity, authority of negative content and scope.
Published tiers cover starter, professional and enterprise campaigns.
Editing and creation packages begin at these levels; ongoing management is listed from $2k per month.
Optimization starts at $3,000; creation starts at $7,000; ongoing management starts at $1,500 per month.
Assessment starts at $3,000, with active optimization from $5,000 per month and enterprise work from $10,000.
Multi-service bundles start at $8,000 per month; the published corporate-overhaul package starts at $15,000.
The review-service page says basic monitoring can start at $250 monthly, while full-service work typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000+.

Commercial terms
Public sales terms are easier to find than the binding client contract
Reputation Insider found clear public statements about engagement length and outcome limits, but did not find a public standard client service agreement setting out cancellation procedure, dispute terms or general refund rights.
The pricing FAQ says most campaigns require six to twelve months for significant results while also stating that the company does not lock clients into long-term contracts. The ethics page separately describes engagements as month-to-month with no lock-in.
The pricing FAQ says the agency can commit resources and effort but cannot guarantee a particular search-engine ranking controlled by a third party.
The editing page describes a full refund if its defined 45-day improvement condition is not met. The public page does not replace the need to inspect the signed guarantee wording.
Before signature, a buyer should request the actual cancellation mechanics, payment timing, refund exclusions, ownership of created assets, governing law and the exact language used for any service-specific guarantee.
Public case evidence
The case-study library is detailed on tactics and metrics, while many client identities remain confidential
The current results page says it contains 17 client engagements. Several cases provide exact before-and-after search or review metrics, but many use industry descriptions instead of named clients.
Independent review platforms provide two identifiable client interviews
Clutch includes verified interviews with Stephen Cosentino of a medical-training company and Pamela Johnston of Cloud 12, providing more independently collected context than self-published testimonials.
Most result pages protect the underlying client identity
The case-study library describes industries, tactics, timelines and claimed changes, but anonymization prevents a reader from independently reconstructing many of the search histories or outcomes.
Agency partnerships are documented as a separate delivery model
Two current case studies describe multi-year white-label relationships with PR agencies, including NDA-based delivery and unbranded proposals. These are company-published case studies and should be treated as first-party evidence.
Sources: case-study library, PR-agency white-label case, eight-year white-label case, and Clutch reviews.
Independent review evidence
The public review footprint is small for a company that reports more than 1,000 clients
Scores are generally positive, but the available independent samples are too small or too old to support broad conclusions about current delivery quality.
Clutch's two reviews are detailed and verified, but they date from 2014 and 2020. They are useful for operating-history context rather than as a broad current customer sample.
Two verified client interviews; the profile also lists a $5,000+ minimum project and $150–199 hourly range.
Three reviews when checked in September 2026, with no reviews shown in the previous 12 months.
Four reviews. At least one 2026 review is labeled as an incentivized review collected through a G2 invite, which should be considered when reading the small sample.
BBB assigns an A+ business rating but currently states that Reputation X is not accredited.
Procurement questions
A buyer should resolve the public-record and contract gaps before treating the proposal as complete
The company's own fact sheet and older third-party business profiles currently show different headquarters information.
This is particularly important for the 45-day Wikipedia improvement guarantee and any sales discussion about removals or search outcomes.
The public site describes month-to-month engagement and selected guarantees but does not expose a standard client service agreement.
The current service pages say independent editors disclose paid relationships. A buyer should understand how that process appears on Wikipedia and what happens if editors reject the proposed changes.
Reputation Insider verdict
Reputation X is easier to price than many ORM agencies, but its public company record needs cleaner reconciliation
The current site gives buyers unusually specific starting prices and more detail about Wikipedia and AI-related delivery than is common in the category. The strongest procurement concern is documentary: headquarters, country-coverage and BBB-accreditation statements are not fully consistent across current pages and third-party profiles.
The independent review base is also modest relative to the company's stated client history. Buyers considering a material engagement should use the public pricing as a benchmark and ask for named references, a current service agreement and written definitions for any guarantee attached to the proposal.
