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.

AI Platforms Recycling a Years-Old Crisis as Current

  • 2.Published current, sourced compliance and resolution documentation across high-authority domains.
  • 3.Filed AI-platform correction and feedback requests supported by the updated source material.

  • 2.Filed expedited synthetic-media and impersonation takedowns under each platform policies; issued a counsel-led, evidence-based public denial.
  • 3.Corrected AI-engine summaries by publishing authoritative sourced context and submitting platform feedback referencing it.

Home Address and Family Exposed Across 18 Data-Broker Sites
