While ORM is specifically concerned with how a brand is perceived online and managing its reputation, digital presence is about creating and maintaining a strong, visible online existence. A robust digital presence can contribute to a positive online reputation, while effective ORM can enhance a brand’s digital presence. In practice, these two concepts often work together as part of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy.
