Defamatory Blog Dominating Page-One Google Search
The Problem
A former business partner published a defamatory blog and syndicated it across 14 domains, pushing hostile content into the top three Google results for the executive's name. Shareholders raised concerns ahead of a pending IPO roadshow.
Our Process
- 1.Compiled a verified evidence dossier and coordinated legal takedown demands to hosting providers and search engines under applicable defamation and intermediary-liability frameworks.
- 2.Launched a sustained digital PR program publishing authoritative, verifiable third-party coverage to reoccupy page-one rankings.
- 3.Built a positive content ecosystem across owned, earned, and AI-indexed channels to crowd out remaining hostile URLs.
The Outcome
All 14 defamatory domains were removed or deindexed within 90 days. The executive's page-one results now reflect verified corporate and press profiles. The IPO proceeded on schedule with no reputation-related investor objections.
Lawful Remediation Basis
Defamation and intermediary-liability takedown demands to hosting providers; search-engine deindexing under personal-information and defamation policy; lawful digital PR and owned-content suppression. Counsel-coordinated throughout.
