IT services and networking companies · Reputation management

Answer the review written on the day your engineer did not turn up.

Reputation for an IT firm is decided by response time, because that is what every review is about. GullySales sets up the review ask at the moment a job is closed, writes the reply to a downtime complaint without exposing a client's network, and puts alerts on your company name.

What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For IT services and networking companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Reviews are written by the let-down, not the looked-after”

    The office you rescued at midnight says nothing. The one that waited five hours for a call-back writes two paragraphs.

  • “A reply can leak a client's network”

    Naming the site, the equipment or the fault in public tells a stranger what the client runs and where it is weak.

  • “Your engineers are read on review sites too”

    A procurement officer at a school checks what staff say about the firm before handing over the campus network.

What we do

What we deliver for IT services and networking companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A review asked for at ticket closure

    A short request sent by the engineer who attended, once the job is signed off and while the relief is fresh, going to the person who raised the call.

    Result: The fixed problems get written up too.

  2. A reply routine with a rule on client detail

    Who answers, how fast, and a standing rule that no reply names a client's site, equipment, addresses or the nature of the fault.

    Result: You answer publicly without handing out a client's weak points.

  3. The service report that prevents the complaint

    A note to each contract client listing calls attended, time taken and what is still open, so grievances surface in a meeting rather than online.

    Result: Problems are raised with you before they are published.

  4. Alerts on the firm and the directors' names

    Search and review alerts covering the company, its trading names and the directors, checked so nothing sits unanswered.

    Result: You read it before your next prospect does.

  5. Employer reviews taken seriously

    A look at what current and former engineers have written, with the fixable complaints raised internally and honest replies posted to the rest.

    Result: Hiring an engineer stops being harder than winning the client.

How the result is measured

  • Average rating
  • Response time to reviews
  • Negative mentions resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to do with each review

How to reply when an office or school posts about downtime, cabling or support.

Praise after a migration
Thank them and name the work, such as a Microsoft 365 move or a new LAN. Ask permission before you name the company, and keep passwords, IP ranges and layouts out of every reply.
Complaint about a day of downtime
Reply with what you found: ISP, switch, firewall or user error. Share a short written root cause with the client, and add the lesson to your runbook before you write publicly.
Slow ticket response
Check the ticket log for the time of the call and the first reply. If it was slow, say so and name the fix, such as a second line during lunch. Do not argue the time in public.
AMC scope dispute
Say that the contract lists what is covered, and offer to go through it with them. Print the AMC scope on one page and have the client sign it at renewal, so hardware and software are not confused.
Review that looks fake or from an ex-employee
Check the name against your client list and your staff list. If neither matches, report it through the platform's process, and reply once stating you cannot find the account.
Complaint about a vendor's hardware
Say that you have raised it with the OEM and name the case number. Give the client a loan unit if you hold stock, and note what happened for the next order.

Who it is for

This is written for these IT services and networking companies.

  • Managed IT service providers for small offices
  • Structured cabling and LAN and Wi-Fi installers
  • Network security and firewall specialists
  • Server, storage and backup solution providers
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace partners
  • IT hardware system integrators
  • Data centre and server room fit-out companies
  • IT firms serving schools, hospitals and factories

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No client has been asked how an installation went, so there is nothing recent to show a buyer who searches your name.
  • A complaint from a closed contract is still unresolved, and the first job is to settle that with the client directly.

How it works

How the reputation management work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Search your name as a stranger would

    We search the business, its main product names and the owner's name, on a phone and a laptop, and record what appears.

  2. 2

    Catalogue every mention

    Reviews, news, listings, social posts and forum threads are sorted into accurate and positive, accurate and negative, and wrong. Each group gets a different action.

  3. 3

    Agree the replies and the owner of each

    Replies are drafted and approved by you. Anything involving a refund, a clinical matter, a legal claim or a named employee goes to the right person in your business before anything is posted.

  4. 4

    Fix what you control

    Listings, profile details and your own pages are corrected, and pages worth ranking for your name are strengthened with accurate information.

  5. 5

    Monitor and report

    The agreed places are checked on the agreed schedule. The name search is repeated and compared with the first record.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
A client has posted about a day of downtime that was the internet provider's fault.
Reply once, calmly, saying what you did and when, without blaming anyone by name. Offer to discuss it directly. Readers judge the tone more than the facts.
Our clients are companies. Do reviews matter at all?
They matter most for the first contact. An admin head told to find a vendor checks Maps reviews before calling, and three recent ones beat a page of logos.
Do we answer a review that mentions a security incident?
Reply briefly that you take it seriously and are in touch with the client privately. Do not describe the attack, the systems or the data in public. Keep the full incident note for the client and agree with them what, if anything, may be said.
Where should a managed IT company get proof, if clients will not post reviews?
Ask for a short quote from the office manager or director for your website, with their consent, and for a LinkedIn recommendation. Also keep a Google Business Profile for walk-in and local searches. Use the quote they approve, word for word.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
