What is phone number reputation management?
Phone number reputation management ensures the correct reputation and display of your business numbers when making outbound calls.
It prevents issues like phone number ‘tagging’ or ‘labeling,’ which results in your outbound calls being delivered with words like “Scam Likely” or “Potential Spam” presented in a caller ID display.
Reputation management also protects phone calls from being blocked by wireless carriers in response to the negative reputation associated with phone numbers.
How your phone numbers are displayed on an incoming call screen has an impact on the ability to connect with customers and prospects.
For this reason, it is important to maintain clean numbers so they are not marked as spam, therefore hindering your organization from communicating with customers and prospects.
If your organization relies on call centers or others within your organization to call customers and prospects, it is important to optimize the use of your phones to experience increased answer rates and better communication with these groups.

Now you understand what phone number reputation management is. However, it is also important that you understand the benefits of using it to help determine whether it is beneficial for your organization. The benefits of using number reputation management include:
Improved contact rates
As mentioned above, protecting your numbers to keep them clean will improve your organization’s ability to reach customers and prospects.

Better insight into the status of your phone numbers’ display
Another benefit of using number reputation management is that it provides better insight into the visual display of your phone numbers. Reputation management enables you to view which numbers are marked as “spam” and which are displaying clean and label-free.
Understanding the reputation associated with each of your phone numbers enables you to manage your leads better.
For example, when you understand the status of your phone numbers’ display, you will not continue calling prospects with a number marked as spam. The user on the other end likely will not pick up the call and that lead could be gone for good.
Instead, your organization can rely on Coeo’s ongoing labeling remediation process, which will “clean” or remove negative labels when they appear so you can maintain the best chances of a successful conversation.

This improves the chances for users to meet quota and enhances employee satisfaction, making them more willing to stay at their jobs longer.
