SI Reputation Management

# Manage your brand reputation in SI.

When customers research your brand, they may ask an SI assistant. We review how your brand is described, which information it is judged on and where it is misrepresented. We verify that information against its sources, plan the improvements and measure the change on a regular basis.

Definition

## What is SI Reputation Management?

SI Reputation Management is the process of monitoring, assessing and improving how your brand is represented in SI answers. It reviews the accuracy, currency and sources of information about the brand, and addresses the issues found through content, data and work carried out with the relevant teams.

When your brand appears in an answer it can be compared with an outdated product, confused with another company or described with the wrong conditions. That is why, alongside visibility, what is said where you are visible also has to be assessed.

| Workstream | The question it answers |
| --- | --- |
| SI visibility and GEO | How often do you appear in the relevant answers? |
| SI reputation management | How accurate is what is said about you, and in which context? |
| Agentic commerce readiness | Are your product and transaction details suitable for agent assessment and transaction flows? |

Online reputation management remains the foundation of this work. News, reviews, company records and customer experience keep their importance, and how they are used in SI answers is added to the review.

Problem areas

## Misrepresentation takes different forms .

We shape the review around your business model and the questions your customers ask. An error in product information is not handled the same way as a genuine customer complaint.

1. 01 ### Outdated product and service information A new feature, your current pricing model or your service scope may be described with old information. We identify what changed and which sources should carry the current explanation.
2. 02 ### Company, person or branch mix-ups Similarly named businesses, former executive roles or details belonging to other branches can be conflated. We check brand identity and the related records together.
3. 03 ### Comparisons made without context Different product generations or conditions in different markets can be compared as if they were the same. We review which product, date and use case an assessment rests on.
4. 04 ### Unsupported negative claims Statements about your brand can be produced without verifiable grounds. We record the claim, assess the evidence and determine the appropriate correction routes.
5. 05 ### Incorrect purchase and after-sales information Warranty, delivery, support or return conditions can be presented incomplete or out of date. We compare the commercial details that shape a customer decision against their sources.
6. 06 ### Recurring genuine customer issues A negative description can rest on a real product or service problem. We assess the customer experience with your team and support a correct, current account of the resolution.

Review areas

## We review the answers and the sources where your brand appears.

Depending on your target market we build a review scope across environments such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google's SI search experiences, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot. Platform, language, country, question set and measurement frequency are defined at the start of the project.

Brand and product answers

How your company, products and services are described.

Comparisons and recommendations

Which attributes you are assessed on and how you are compared with competitors.

Shopping information

Product attributes, price, warranty, delivery and after-sales conditions.

Sources

Corporate pages, product documents, independent publications, reviews and related business records.

Review results belong to the selected questions and conditions. Answers given to different users or at different times can vary.

Service scope

## We turn every finding into work you can act on.

### SI reputation audit

We review the questions and answers about your brand and identify examples of inaccurate or incomplete representation. The initial report shows findings, sources and priorities together.

Deliverable Initial report and prioritised issue list.

### Brand information and identity verification

We check the consistency of company, product, executive and branch information. We match key facts with their evidence and currency dates.

Deliverable Verified information record and list of conflicts.

### Source and context analysis

We review the sources and claims shown in answers. We separate information that is outdated, attached to the wrong source or stripped of context.

Deliverable Claim, source and assessment record.

### Content and data improvement

We plan corrections to the pages and data you control and implement them with your teams. Where needed we support documented correction requests to external sources.

Deliverable Applied changes and open action list.

### Critical issue coordination

We coordinate the assessment of important findings with communications, product, customer experience and, where needed, specialist teams. Who owns which step is defined clearly.

Deliverable Priority, owner and intervention record.

### Continuous monitoring and re-measurement

We review the selected question set at regular intervals. Source changes, improvements in answers and recurring issues are reported separately.

Deliverable Periodic assessment and follow-up report.

[Let us define the scope of work →](https://www.webtures.com/contact/)

How it works

## From question to evidence, from implementation to re-measurement.

1. 01 ### We define the scope. We define your brand, target market, products and priority questions together. We agree which platforms are reviewed and how often.
2. 02 ### We record the answers. We store the question, the answer, the sources and the measurement conditions together, so the context of a finding stays visible.
3. 03 ### We check the claims. We compare the information with current documents and separate inaccuracy, outdated information, ambiguity and subjective judgement.
4. 04 ### We set priority and ownership. We bring forward the issues that can affect a customer decision and define the action and the team responsible.
5. 05 ### We implement improvements. We carry out content and data updates and follow up the necessary source corrections. Publications and external requests go through the agreed approval process.
6. 06 ### We review the outcome again. We re-assess the same questions under comparable conditions. A corrected source and a changed answer are tracked separately.

- Answer
- Claim and evidence
- Implementation
- Re-measurement

We set the work plan and delivery dates together. Update and response times of SI systems vary by platform.

Sample review

## See the evidence behind a finding.

The illustrative examples below show how we assess different issues. You can review a claim, its evidence and the follow-up step together.

Illustrative scenario · not a real brand or a live SI result

### Outdated product information

Example Brand, a fictional software provider

Customer question

Which integrations does Example Brand's enterprise plan support?

Illustrative answer

The enterprise plan does not include single sign-on support.

Claim reviewed

That single sign-on is not available on the enterprise plan.

Review result

Outdated information

Document reviewed

Illustrative current product document

Recommended action

Update the old help page and the plan comparison; state the product version and plan scope explicitly.

Follow-up status

Source update planned · re-measurement pending

In this scenario the earlier help page describes the old plan scope. The newer product document states that single sign-on was added to the enterprise plan.

Read the illustrative evidence Example Brand / Enterprise plan / Integration information

In this fictional product version the enterprise plan supports the single sign-on connection. The relevant identity provider has to be configured for the feature to be used. The wording “not supported” in the earlier help text does not apply to this version.

This is a fictional document prepared to explain the review method.

### Incorrect return condition

Example Store, a fictional retailer

Customer question

Can I return an item I bought from Example Store at a pickup point?

Illustrative answer

This seller does not accept returns at physical pickup points.

Claim reviewed

That no return request is accepted at pickup points.

Review result

Conflicts with the source

Document reviewed

Illustrative return request policy

Recommended action

Clarify eligible orders, request steps and valid pickup points on the returns page; make the conditions consistent across pages.

Follow-up status

Correction planned for the condition · re-measurement pending

The policy in this scenario states that return requests can be started at listed pickup points for certain orders. The answer rules out that conditional option entirely.

Read the illustrative evidence Example Store / Return request at a pickup point

Customers who see the pickup-point return option in their order details can start a request at the listed points. Not every pickup point offers this service. Product and order conditions are shown on the request screen. A request being accepted does not mean the return is automatically approved.

This is a fictional business policy, not a statement of statutory return rights or periods.

### Genuine customer issue

Example Service, a fictional service provider

Customer question

What is Example Service's customer support like?

Illustrative answer

Responses to support requests can be delayed.

Claim reviewed

That some support requests experience a delayed response.

Review result

Supported by evidence · customer experience issue

Document reviewed

Illustrative support operations review

Recommended action

Address the open requests; improve ownership and status communication; describe the changes actually made clearly to customers.

Follow-up status

Operational improvement planned · outcome and re-measurement pending

The support records in this scenario confirm delays on some requests. The statement is not treated as inaccurate merely because it is negative.

Read the illustrative evidence Example Service / Support process review

In the fictional records reviewed, some requests wait during handover between teams. The priority is to assign owners to open requests and keep customers informed. The effect of the process change will be assessed with the next period's support records.

This is a fictional scenario. Real customer records are not published on this page.

[Let us assess a similar issue](https://www.webtures.com/contact/)

Updating a source does not mean every SI answer changes at the same time. We separately check whether the same claim recurs in later measurements.

Measurement

## We do not reduce your reputation to a single score.

How often your brand is mentioned, how it is described and how accurate the information about it is are different indicators. Our reports treat these separately and state the question set, the period and the measurement conditions used.

Information accuracy

Which of the factual claims reviewed are supported by current evidence?

Currency

How often is outdated product, role or condition information repeated?

Source support

Does the source shown actually support the claim next to it?

Brand representation

How is your brand assessed on quality, price and support?

Visibility and recommendation

Are you mentioned and explicitly recommended in the relevant questions?

Correction follow-up

After the applied changes, does the same issue appear again?

Review the measurement method We define the questions around your market and your customers' needs. We re-assess answers under the selected conditions and put important claims through human review. Information that cannot be verified is shown separately. Results belong to the sample reviewed and are not assumed to represent the answers every user receives.

Agentic commerce

## What information do SI agents find when they assess your products?

An SI assistant or agent comparing products on a customer's behalf may weigh attributes, price, delivery and after-sales conditions together. An error in that information can make the assessment of your brand incomplete or wrong as well.

Product identity and attributes

Is the right product, the right model and the right version being described?

Commercial conditions

Are price, stock, delivery and service scope current?

Trust and after-sales

Are warranty, return and support details consistent?

Customer experience

In which context are recurring complaints and their resolutions described?

We identify information issues in these areas and follow up the improvements with the relevant teams. When catalogue, payment or order integration is required, we define that technical scope separately.

Accurate representation and readiness to transact belong together.

Technology and team

## Tracking with technology, assessment with expertise.

We combine the Webtures consulting approach with Brantial, which supports SI visibility and answer analysis. Which tools are used and how wide the review runs are decided per project.

Technology supports collecting findings and tracking change. Our specialists assess the important claims, set priorities and coordinate implementation. Your product, communications and customer experience teams own the accurate information and the corrections that follow.

Research and sources

## The basis of our approach: accuracy, sources and measurement.

Studies of SI answers show that it is not enough to look at whether an answer exists; the information and the sources inside it have to be assessed as well. We keep the service approach current with official platform documentation and independent research.

### Answer quality research

In the 2025 BBC-EBU study, 45% of the 2,709 core news answers assessed contained at least one significant issue. That result belongs to news questions and should not be read as an error rate for your brand or as current model performance.

[Review the scope of the study →](https://www.ebu.ch/files/live/sites/ebu/files/Publications/Intelligence/open/EBU-Intelligence-BBC_News_Integrity_in_AI_Assistants_Report_2025.pdf)

### Source verification method

A source being shown does not always mean it supports the claim beside it. We assess the relationship between source and claim separately.

### Official platform guidance

For technical access, content and structured information we work from the current documentation of the relevant platforms.

## Questions we hear about SI reputation management

01

### What is SI Reputation Management?

It is the process of reviewing and improving how your brand is represented in SI answers. It assesses the accuracy, currency and sources of information, plans the necessary content and data work and measures the results again.

02

### How is it different from online reputation management?

Online reputation management covers search results, news, reviews and social channels. SI reputation management also focuses on how those sources are used in SI answers. The classic sources keep their importance; the review area widens.

03

### Is it the same service as GEO?

They work together. GEO puts visibility in the relevant answers first. SI reputation management additionally assesses what is said about you, how accurate it is and in which context. We define the split of work along with the scope.

04

### Can you change the answers of ChatGPT and other SI systems?

We do not directly control the answers SI systems produce. We improve the information and sources you control, support appropriate correction requests and review whether later answers change. A specific answer or recommendation outcome is not guaranteed.

05

### Which platforms do you work on?

A scope can be set across environments such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google's SI search experiences, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot. Platform, language, market and measurement method are agreed at the start; no two programmes have the same scope.

06

### What do you do if you find inaccurate information about my brand?

First we assess the claim and its grounds. Then the appropriate action is planned for the relevant page, product document, business record or external source. We track the change made and the later SI answers separately.

07

### How are negative but accurate reviews handled?

Fair criticism is not labelled as inaccurate information. We assess the recurring customer issue with your team and support a clear account of the resolution and the current state. The aim is a truthful representation of your brand.

08

### Is inaccurate information deleted from SI memory?

Correcting a source or reporting to a platform does not directly erase everything a model has learned. Update processes differ between systems. That is why we re-check the same claim in later measurements.

09

### When will we see results?

The audit and implementation timeline is set with the scope. Change in an SI answer depends on the sources being updated, their accessibility and how the platform works. Delivery date and the moment SI output changes are assessed separately.

10

### How do you measure success?

We track information accuracy, currency, source support, representation, visibility and issue recurrence separately. We report the questions used, the period and the measurement conditions. A single sample answer is not treated as the outcome for the whole brand.

11

### Do you give our brand an SI trust score?

Reports rest on explicit criteria and reviewable findings. If a summary indicator is used, its calculation method is stated. That indicator is not presented as a universal trust score from the platforms' internal assessment.

12

### Is agentic commerce included in this service?

We can review the information issues agents encounter when assessing products and sellers. Catalogue, payment, order or return integrations are separate technical work and are scoped separately when needed.

13

### Can the work cover Turkish and other countries?

Language and market scope are chosen together. Because a brand's products, conditions and sources can differ by country, results are assessed market by market. Translation alone does not replace local verification.

14

### What does Brantial do in this process?

Brantial can support the answer and visibility analysis used in the project. Assessing important claims, setting priorities and coordinating implementation are the responsibility of the Webtures team. The tools and modules used are described in the scope.

15

### What information is needed to start?

Brand and site details, target market, priority products or services and any issues you have observed are enough to start. In the next stage we identify the relevant documents and team owners together. You do not need to send sensitive customer data or confidential documents with the first request.

16

### How much involvement is needed from our team?

We need your teams to verify product and company information. When content, data or customer experience changes are required, owners are assigned. The plan is built around your approval and implementation capacity.

17

### How is the service priced?

Brand, product, country, language, review frequency and implementation needs are assessed together. Scope and fee can be defined separately for the audit, the correction programme and continuous work.

18

### Who is this service for?

It suits organisations whose brands, products or executives are researched through SI and that want to be represented with accurate information. Work is more concrete with teams that can reach the relevant data and are ready to make the necessary corrections.
