CEO & Founder
Public company, private business with public presence
Situation
Coordinated attack. Narrative out of control. Deal on the line.
A wave of negative content about the company appears across Telegram, forums, and niche media 72 hours before a planned deal signing. The source is unclear. The counterparty has already seen it.

How RH defence helps
- Attack Source Detection identifies within hours whether the activity is coordinated and maps the source network
- Crisis strategy built around deal timeline: what to communicate to counterparty, what to address publicly, what to leave alone
- Content operations across all surfaces: suppression where actionable, counter-narrative where needed
Results
You enter the final negotiation with a clear picture of the attack, a documented response and a contained public narrative.
The deal has a chance.

- Immediate damage mapping: what is indexed, what is spreading, what is reaching investor-relevant channels
- Separation of personal and corporate narrative — coordinated response across both layers
- Counter-narrative content placed in authoritative sources before the story consolidates in search
The funding conversation continues on your terms.

Situation
You see every threat. You can act on almost none of them.
Your monitoring is solid. The alerts are coming in. But turning each signal into a coordinated response — content, SERP action, community influence, mention handling — requires bandwidth and expertise your team doesn't have.
Your monitoring is solid. The alerts are coming in. But turning each signal into a coordinated response — content, SERP action, community influence, mention handling — requires bandwidth and expertise your team doesn't have.
How RH defence helps
- Operations team acts as an extension of your function: content creation, mention handling, SERP management, community influence — executed on your behalf. Effectively, a full-service operating within your response structure
- Single platform replacing the 4–6 tools you currently switch between to get a complete picture
- Dedicated manager who coordinates execution across all channels so nothing sits in a queue
Results
You stop being the person who sees the problem and can't fix it.
Every signal becomes an action. Response time drops from days to hours. Your monitoring investment finally produces outcomes, not just reports.

A negative article has been ranking #1 for your company name for eight months.
You've flagged it. You've tried to address it. But displacing entrenched negative content requires consistent content production, link strategy, and SEO-led SERP management — more than one person can run.

- Parallel community and media operations reinforcing positive narrative across adjacent search queries
- Progress tracked against SERP position weekly — not just monitored, actively moved.

The CMO asked if reputation is improving.
You couldn't give a clear answer.
You track volume, sentiment, and alerts. But translating that into a business metric leadership understands — and uses to justify the budget — requires a framework that doesn't exist yet.

- Baseline audit establishing measurable reputation KPIs: SERP score, sentiment trend, AI representation accuracy, review trajectory

- Quarterly performance reviews against defined targets, with strategic recommendations tied to business goals
Reputation becomes a measurable business metric, not a gut feeling.

CEO statement misquoted. Correction not catching up.
A CEO statement is selectively quoted out of context and framed as an admission. The misquote spreads faster than the correction. The original outlet has not issued a retraction. AI platforms are already surfacing the misquoted version. Coordinated message correction across all surfaces where the false version is appearing.

Due diligence surfaces reputation risk. Acquisition at stake.
An acquisition target is undergoing due diligence. A reputation review reveals significant negative search presence and AI platform representation that the target was unaware of. The deal team needs a rapid assessment and remediation estimate.

Supply chain partner crisis. Reputational contagion risk.
A major supply chain partner is hit by a public scandal. Media is beginning to name the company as a key client. Association risk is building before any direct wrongdoing has been established.

- Proactive distancing strategy: what to communicate, in which channels, to which audiences — before the association consolidates
- Monitoring of contagion spread with defined escalation thresholds and board alert protocol

CISO
Enterprise, regulated industries, companies with strict data security requirements
Situation
Data breach goes public before internal comms are ready.
A security incident becomes public before internal communications are prepared. Media coverage references specific technical details. Forum speculation about the scope is escalating beyond the actual impact.
A security incident becomes public before internal communications are prepared. Media coverage references specific technical details. Forum speculation about the scope is escalating beyond the actual impact.
How RH defence helps
- Narrative layer monitoring running parallel to technical investigation — what is being said vs what is true
- Disinformation identification: specific claims that are factually incorrect and spreading
- Coordinated response to the public digital environment while the security team handles the technical containment
- Content documentation for potential legal action against actors spreading false claims
Results
The public narrative is separated from speculation.
Accurate information occupies the search results. The breach stops growing in public consciousness while the technical response runs in parallel.

Ransomware attack. Threat actor publishing stolen data publicly.
A ransomware group begins publishing samples of stolen internal data on a dedicated leak site and Telegram channel. Media is picking up the story. The security team is in full incident response. No one is managing the public narrative.

- Coordination with legal on content documentation and potential takedown pathways
The company's response is visible alongside the attack narrative.
The threat actor does not control the only version of the story in circulation.

Nation-state attributed attack. Reputational and geopolitical exposure.
A security incident is publicly attributed to a nation-state actor by a third-party research firm. The attribution is contested but widely reported. Clients in regulated industries are asking whether their data was affected.

Legal has a complete evidentiary record.
Comms knows exactly what to say and what to avoid. The response does not create additional legal exposure.

Litigation becomes public. Plaintiff runs a media campaign in parallel.
A counterparty in an active litigation begins placing stories in business media and on Telegram. The narrative frames the company as the clear wrongdoer before any judgment. Key partners are referencing the coverage in conversations.

Crisis Management
Crisis Management Case Studies: How Enterprise Clients Handle Reputation Crises
01 • The pattern beneath every crisis
Every reputation crisis looks different on the surface — but the patterns that emerge are surprisingly consistent — a product recall, a data breach, an executive controversy, or a coordinated backlash campaign. But the underlying mechanics are similar: information spreads faster than response planning can catch it, and the severity of reputational damage correlates directly with how quickly the narrative layer is addressed alongside the operational one.
02 • What clients have seen
Clients working with RH Control on active reputation crises have seen coordinated attacks — including defamatory content and fake review campaigns — identified and contained before they reached mainstream media. Legal proceedings were supported by evidence-grade documentation. In several cases, lawsuits were resolved faster because the digital evidence trail was structured from day one.
03
A specialist operations team makes the difference not in whether you respond, but in how precisely the response is calibrated to the actual threat.
Pricing & Retainer
Online Reputation Management Pricing and Retainer Structure
$12,000
/month — starting
RH Control operates on a monthly retainer basis, starting at $12,000/month. The retainer covers full platform access, dedicated manager support, analyst reporting, and operations execution across all channels. No per-task billing. No hidden activation fees for crisis response.
What shapes pricing
Pricing reflects the scope of your information environment — the number of channels monitored, the volume of mentions processed, and the complexity of ongoing narrative operations. Most enterprise clients start with a diagnostic phase before committing to a full operational retainer.
Included in scope
Digital PR, SERP management, review response, community influence, and AI representation correction are all included within the retainer scope — not billed as add-ons. If your situation requires immediate response planning for an active crisis, that can be activated within the same engagement.

Platform deployment and initial narrative assessment happen within 24 hours of engagement. Response operations — content, SERP management, community influence — are typically live within 48–72 hours depending on severity. For situations already at an acute stage, we offer an emergency consultation before the retainer structure is agreed.
Public relations handles earned media and stakeholder messaging. Online reputation management handles what stays indexed, what surfaces in search, what AI tools say, and what spreads across forums and review platforms. In most crises, PR covers the statement. Nobody covers the digital trail — that's what RH Control is built for.
Yes. RH Control provides chronological documentation of what appeared, where, and how it spread — structured for legal and regulatory submission. We work alongside legal counsel without interfering with active proceedings. Narrative containment during a legal process is a specific use case we handle frequently. Clients in compliance-sensitive sectors — financial services, healthcare, regulated industries — benefit from our structured documentation process that supports regulatory submissions and board-level reporting.
