Do Businesses Spend Too Much Time Chasing New Customers and Not Enough Protecting Their Reputation?

It seems like most companies invest heavily in advertising, lead generation, and customer acquisition, but far fewer dedicate the same level of attention to monitoring and protecting their online reputation.

Yet a potential customer can spend just a few minutes researching a company before deciding whether to move forward.

I'm curious what others think:

Are businesses underestimating the impact of online reputation?
How often should companies audit what appears when people search for them?
Have you ever seen a reputation issue undermine marketing efforts?
Should reputation management be treated as a growth strategy rather than a defensive one?

I'd love to hear perspectives from business owners, marketers, agency professionals, and anyone who has seen reputation influence customer decisions.
