Been running affiliate sites for a while now and some bad reviews are popping up that might be turning people away from my links. Tried a few things to push them down but not sure what works best for this kind of setup, any advice?
Yes—ORM for affiliate sites is doable, but it’s mostly SERP control + E‑E‑A‑T asset building: publish “trust” pages (About, Editorial Policy, How we test, Disclosures), ship review-response content hubs (brand + “reviews/complaints/alternatives” queries), and secure high-authority placements (PR, podcasts, niche directories, Crunchbase/Medium/LinkedIn, etc.) to occupy page 1 and dilute negatives.
From campaigns I’ve run, the fastest wins come from (1) claiming/optimizing all profiles (Google Business if applicable, Trustpilot/ResellerRatings, socials), (2) consistent branded-search CTR improvement (better titles/meta, sitelinks via internal linking), and (3) ongoing link velocity to positive assets—track progress in GSC + Ahrefs/Semrush and aim to push negatives below position ~5 where CTR drops hard.
