Thank you to The European Awards, to its Jury, and to every guest and listener who has trusted us with difficult stories. The Online Reputation Management Podcast has won Best Reputation Repair Podcast 2026. Our co-founder and co-host, James Dooley (King of AEO), accepted the award.
Showing That Hard Subjects Deserve Clear Guidance
The award recognises a show that has turned difficult, often uncomfortable subject matter into clear and practical guidance. For listeners facing damaging search results, hostile coverage or a loss of trust, it is an outside sign that the steps we share are meant to be used.
Recognised for Tackling What Other Podcasts Avoid
The Jury was struck by a podcast that does not shy away from the harder side of reputation work. Where many shows stay on safe ground, we address sensitive situations with care, clarity and a practical focus on recovery.
Our advice moves beyond theory and gives listeners steps they can apply. The Jury said we handle difficult and often personal reputational problems with discretion, and that the breadth of the show, from reputation repair and brand SEO to entity optimisation and how AI systems judge a business, forms a coherent and useful resource.
The Online Reputation Management Podcast stood out for its courage in addressing sensitive reputational problems that others avoid. Its guidance is practical, calm and grounded in real experience, and it gives listeners a clear path forward. In a crowded field, that combination made it the clear choice for Best Reputation Repair Podcast 2026.
