Chris Lollini

Chris Lollini is the owner of Reputation Igniter, an agency built to do one thing exceptionally well: engineer consistent Google Business Profile visibility for HVAC and plumbing companies. With over a decade serving the trades, Chris focuses on what actually matters—visibility that turns into service calls and installs, not marketing theater.
Before founding Reputation Igniter, Chris served in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineer, leading reactor mechanical systems in combat-zone deployments, overseeing large-scale HVAC, plumbing, and fluid systems. That background shaped his respect for the trades and his systems-driven approach to local SEO.
Chris is a devoted husband and father of three. When work and family allow, you’ll find him surfing or snowboarding.
