Online Reputation Management FAQ
Q: Are you able to totally remove a website or link from Google search results?
A: We can’t completely remove links or websites from Google. Instead, we focus on creating and optimizing positive links until they rank higher than negative links. We don’t use any prohibited ‘Black Hat’ SEO techniques or spam.
Q: How long will it take to see things start to change?
A: Usually the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) starts to change within a week. There’s typically about one downwards movement of a negative link every week.
Q: The website search results include an image bar, which includes negative image(s). Can you remove these images?
A: Negative images tend to be suppressed indirectly, as they belong to websites containing negative text. These websites are gradually moved down the results page, which will also remove their images from search results.
Q: Why is your work limited to the first page of Google results?
A: Removing links from subsequent pages is very difficult using SEO alone, and requires huge investment. Furthermore, research shows that 75% of searchers don’t look past the first page of results.
Q: Why are the search results I get different to those seen by other people?
A: Google remembers which links you click on when you search for a keyword, and will show these links higher up the next time you search. This usually explains different search results received by different people. To turn off personalization and see the results as anyone else would, use an “Incognito” window in Google Chrome web browser.
