How Can I Remove Negative Content From Search Engines?

This is like asking, "How do I remove that drop of red paint from my can of yellow paint?" You can't. But you can significantly limit the red paint's impact on the yellow paint. Once negative content about you is posted on the Internet, it cannot be removed from Google’s index. You must dilute the impact of negative content by bringing more relevant positive or neutral content to the search engines. As in our paint example, add enough yellow and no one knows there was ever any red.

Each search engine, like Google or Yahoo, uses specific algorithms to determine the "relevancy" of Internet content. The more a search engine determines a website, blog or posting to be relevant, the closer it gets to Page One.

Our proven process delivers web content that is more pertinent to the search engines than the existing negative content. Based on level of service requested, we will aggressively move the adverse pages deeper and deeper in the search engines and fight to keep them there, harmlessly out of view from searchers.

How Does InternetPR.com Help Me?

You have come to Internet PRbecause your online reputation is under attack. Once selected, we work closely with you to both locate and create positive content about you, your company, or brand to counter negative comments. We use news releases, blogs, social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and more to rebuild your reputation. These are released into the Internet using our proven Search Engine Optimization strategies to encourage high ranking for this new positive content on the major search engines like Google.

Here is an overview of how Search Engine Optimization works. The search engines, like Google and Yahoo, use their algorithms to look for two primary elements, unique content and inbound links. These links and content influence how the search engine ranks the site - determining page raking within the search results.

Unique Content
- Internet PRwill create and place content about you, your company, or brand that is unique and relevant to overcome existing negative content.

Inbound Links
– Similar to the old days of High School, the major search engines want to know who has the most popular website. They assume a higher-ranking priority for popularity sites. One way they determine your level of popularity is by how many and which other websites link to your site. Essentially the more websites link to you, the greater your online popularity or visibility. Our process significantly builds upon the network of independent sites that link to positive feedback about you, your business or your brand.
We understand how important your reputation is to you and will work tirelessly to restore your good name so you can get on with your life!

How Soon Will I See Results?

The short answer is - it depends. For some minor reputation repairs, we see progress in as little as 30 days. For more severe cases, it may take between 4 to 6 months to see substantial results. Beware of firms that claim they can restore reputations in a shorter time. There really are no easy shortcuts to speed up this process.

Factors Determining Timing For Results:


The type and strength of negative sites listed by the major search engines, like Google, dictates the resolution timeframe. For example, if you have negative listings with RipOffReport.com, BBB, Yelp, or ComplaintsBoard.com, these carry more online influence.

However, we can dramatically reduce the negative impact of these sites by increasing your volume of high-ranking positive listings. Each circumstance is different so please call to discuss your individual situation and resolution timeframes.

The number of negative results on the first two pages of Google is another key factor. The more negative review sites you have listed, the longer it will take for results.

The number of existing positive results in the search engines can actually reduce the time needed to deliver favorable results. We can leverage existing positive content, especially when it appears in the first few pages of the search engines or on authoritative sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. Our techniques get your reputation back on track fast.

How Much Does It Cost?

Think of Internet PRas a doctor for your reputation. Like your doctor, our fees vary depending on the severity and complexity of the problem as well as the amount of existing positive content. Starting at just $1,000 per month, Internet PRworks with each client to deliver the best result for the lowest cost. After all, consider the costs of doing nothing.

Can You Guarantee That Your Process Will Work?

It is virtually impossible to guarantee a specific decrease in negative results. However, we are extremely confident in our ability to deliver recognizable, positive change in how you are viewed online and will guarantee improvement of your online reputation thanks to our time-tested strategies and services.

Can I Hire A Lawyer To Help Salvage My Online Reputation?

Have you been libeled, or are you just getting bad press? In certain situations, we can recommend a lawyer to help resolve potentially illegal slander or libel, but frankly, these cases are rare. The law usually favors the webmaster and anonymous attacks can take years to remove.

In the end, an online reputation management campaign that focuses on overcoming negative comments with positive content delivers a better bottom line. Our program pushes the negative results out of view from searchers, dramatically reducing their actual impact on your reputation.
