What does a branding agency actually do?
A branding agency defines how a company is positioned and how it looks and sounds: research, positioning, naming, logo and visual identity, messaging and brand guidelines. Many also help roll the brand out across a website, packaging and campaigns.
Can you remove a negative Google review?
Only if it breaks Google's content policies, for example spam, conflicts of interest, off-topic or offensive content. You can flag it for removal from your Business Profile. Legitimate negative reviews stay up, so the better route is a calm public reply and more reviews from happy customers.
Is it allowed to ask customers for Google reviews?
Yes. Google allows businesses to ask customers for reviews, but not to offer incentives in exchange, to ask only happy customers (review gating), or to post reviews on a customer's behalf.
