Control what shows up in your search results

Not usually. In extremely rare cases it may be possible to have content removed if it is defamatory or in clear violation of copyright law.

For campaigns targeting European search engines there is also the ‘Right to be Forgotten’, which applies to results no longer in the public interest.

However, in almost all cases, suppressing negative content using the ReputationDefender method is the only viable option.

You should also be aware that the attention that comes from trying to delete sites can make your problem worse—even if you have a justifiable claim. This is a situation known as the Streisand Effect.

All content is customised to your specifications, written to a professional standard by diligent writers and editors.

For individuals, we usually start with biographical writing about your professional or personal life, then expand to related topics that reflect well on you personally.

For businesses we start with biographies, before moving on to topics related to your industry and expertise.

Images and other media may also play a supporting role.

Yes, although in many cases it will be treated as a Special Project. These campaigns are specifically tailored for brands, executives and public figures.

Many of our clients wish to remain anonymous and for our work to be conducted autonomously. Therefore, we offer a service that promotes existing links appearing in your Google search results that showcase you in a positive or neutral manner.

This reduces the requirement for new content, as we can utilise existing established material which tends to achieve quicker results (whereas new content can take some time to rank within search engine results).

Be wary of any online reputation management company that offers guaranteed results. We’re the oldest and most reputable reputation management company in the world, and we’ve lasted this long because we provide quality results that make our clients happy.

Search engines results cannot be directly ‘edited’. Therefore, we cannot guarantee exact results at the end of a project. However, we have been established for 12 years and have invested millions of pounds into research and development, which provides us with the necessary tools and experience to develop Google search results for individuals and businesses globally.

At ReputationDefender we provide real results that last, using ethical, ‘whitehat’ techniques that search engines respect. We have built our reputation on quality and that’s why we’re still here, more than 10 years after we founded the online reputation management industry.

The same can’t be said for all of our competitors. We’ve seen a number of fly-by-night operations come and go over the years, making exaggerated promises or using shady techniques to try to manipulate search engines. It might work for a while (or not), but the results always disappear eventually. It can even backfire, getting you penalised by Google and making future reputation management very expensive and time consuming. Is this a really a risk worth taking with something so important?

In most cases we are happy to offer a price-match for like-for-like service quotations. Simply send over any proposals and your consultant will do the rest.
