SEO Image is a New York-based SEO agency that has offered online reputation management for years, often for executives and professionals. Its SEO roots make it a natural fit for suppression work.

This is an honest comparison: who SEO Image is, what they do well, where we're alike, where we're different, what each costs, and when each makes sense.

A note on fairness. We are a competitor, so read this with that in mind. Everything below is based on how SEO Image publicly describes and markets its services, public review platforms, and pricing that has been publicly listed or reported. Where something is reported by others and we could not confirm it, we say so. If SEO Image believes anything here is inaccurate, they can contact us and we will correct it.

Who SEO Image is

SEO Image is a New York SEO and digital marketing agency offering SEO, web design, and online reputation management for businesses, executives, and professionals.

What SEO Image does well

  • SEO-led suppression. Strong technical foundation for pushing down results.
  • Executive and professional cases. Experience with personal reputations.

Where RMC and SEO Image are alike

  • We both rely on SEO to suppress results that can't be removed.
  • We both work with executives and professionals.

The real difference: reputation as one service vs. reputation as the whole job

SEO Image is a capable digital marketing agency, and online reputation management is one of the services it offers alongside SEO, paid media, web design, and more. That model has real advantages: one vendor, one invoice, and SEO skills that carry over to suppression.

The tradeoff is focus. Reputation work isn't just SEO pointed at a negative result. It means arguing removals with platforms and publishers, handling legal and privacy requests, reading the situation when someone is in crisis, and now managing what AI engines say. Those skills are built by doing reputation work every day, not as one line on a services page.

Where RMC is different

  • RMC treats removal as a core discipline.
  • RMC runs autocomplete and AI answer work in-house.
  • RMC runs every track in parallel from day one.

Reputation is all we do

Every RMC strategist and specialist works on reputation full-time, and every engagement runs four tracks in parallel from day one:

  • Removal. Policy-based review removal plus content removal for articles, Reddit and forum threads, complaint sites, and data brokers.
  • Suppression. Positive assets built and ranked around anything that can't come down.
  • Narrative. Owned content and earned media that reflect who you really are.
  • Optimization. Ethical review generation, search, autocomplete, and AI answers.

We lead in AI optimization

Eight years ago RMC built its own software and methodology for recalibrating AI answers, autocomplete predictions, and search suggestions. We didn't jump on the ChatGPT wagon a year ago like many agencies did. We've been leading it, for nations, government officials, executives, Fortune 500 enterprises, and startups. As ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews increasingly summarize who you are, what those engines say needs managing as much as page one does.

We work alongside your marketing agency

Many RMC clients keep their marketing agency for growth and bring us in for reputation. We coordinate with in-house and agency teams so the work supports each other instead of competing.

What SEO Image costs

SEO Image quotes custom monthly programs.

RMC programs can start as low as $1,500 per month, and removals are priced by the work and quoted per case before anything starts (about $950 per review and $6k+ per URL on average). See our pricing for details.

Side by side

  • Focus: SEO agency vs. reputation only.
  • Suppression: Both.
  • Removal: A core RMC discipline.
  • AI answers and autocomplete: An in-house RMC specialty.
