Why ORM matters
Every buyer checks before trusting, and what they find was either shaped or abandoned: the review answered versus ignored, the rating earned versus wished for, the search page owned versus surrendered. Reputation compounds in whichever direction it’s left to run.

Questions
Can bad reputation be suppressed?
Burying rarely works and often backfires: the durable play is outweighing, more genuine reviews, visible responses, fixed causes, until the old story is statistically and visibly stale. Reputation repair is volume of truth, not hiding.
Who owns ORM in an ecommerce team?
Marketing usually holds the tools, but the inputs come from everywhere: support’s replies, ops’ delivery promises, product’s quality. ORM works as a shared scoreboard, not a department’s chore.
