Intellegent Digital Reputation Management
What Five Blocks does: We help people and brands take control of their digital reputation - especially in Google and Wikipedia. We help them demote unfavorable and negative content by planning and implementing changes that build a more ideal online reputation.
Why Five Blocks does what we do: Search is the gateway to your brand. When a Google search or Wikipedia read leads to unbalanced, inaccurate, or irrelevant results, the searcher may draw conclusions that affect business opportunities or relationships in the real world. It makes no sense to allow an algorithm to determine how other people see us.
Our mission is to help companies put their best foot forward online. Five Blocks works with clients and their communications teams to deliberately plan their ideal presence on Google and other search engines. We create and execute a holistic, customized, and confidential plan to optimize and prioritize desired content.
Our proprietary technology tracks millions of data points daily, enabling us to build strategy based on big data.
Who our clients are: We work with Fortune 500 corporations and fast-growing brands, multinational organizations, and high-profile individuals who want to build and defend their reputations. We have particular expertise in Financial Services, Healthcare, Energy, Hospitality, Food & Beverage, Education, and Real Estate.
