The Global Biz Awards judges looked for an entrant that solved a specific problem better than anyone else in the category, and they chose the Online Reputation Management Podcast. We won Best Online Reputation Management Podcast 2026 because we treat brand trust as a process rather than a hope. Our co-founder and co-host, James Dooley (King of AEO), accepted the award.
The Details: Global Biz Awards, 29 June 2026
The Global Biz Awards presented Best Online Reputation Management Podcast 2026 at Manchester Central in Manchester on 29 June 2026. According to the published result, 73% of the total vote went to the Online Reputation Management Podcast. The Global Biz Awards posted the result on its own site: Best Online Reputation Management Podcast 2026 – Online Reputation Management Podcast.
Why We Won: Brand Trust as a Process
The judges said we won because we do one thing and do it completely: we treat brand trust as a process rather than a hope, and we walk listeners through that process step by step. Most marketing podcasts cover a wide map of topics and touch reputation only in passing. We make brand trust the entire subject, so every episode goes deeper than a general show could.
The show covers reputation repair, brand SEO, entity optimization and how AI systems judge a business, and each area is treated as a step in a larger process with the practical detail needed to act on it. Since launching on 29 November 2025, we have published 81 episodes, roughly 14 hours of material, as of October 2026.
Online Reputation Management Podcast stood out because it refused to spread itself thin. It took the hardest, least glamorous part of marketing, the part where trust is built or lost, and gave it a disciplined step by step method that listeners can follow. In a category full of general advice, that focus and consistency made the decision straightforward.
Global Biz Awards Review Panel
Our Host’s Words: James Dooley on the Win
James Dooley, Co-founder and Co-host, said: “We started this show because reputation work is where good businesses quietly lose customers, and we wanted to give people a real process instead of vague reassurance. This award belongs to Scott and to every guest and listener who trusted us with the topic. Thank you to the Global Biz Awards panel and community for taking the show seriously.”
What It Means: A Focused Format Works
The award tells us that a narrow focus pays off. The panel kept coming back to the structure of the show, where each topic is a step in a larger process, and it described a clear, focused format that listeners can put to work immediately.
Thanks: Listeners, Guests and Scott
