A search engine displays a link to a news article; the publisher controls the article. That distinction determines what you can ask for and whom to contact.

A correction request works best when it is narrow, documented, and easy for an editor to verify.

Removal & correction · 04
Sometimes the publisher has already changed or removed a page, while Google still shows an older title, snippet, or cached result. The next step is to verify the source and request an update where appropriate.

Removal & correction · 05
If a search result exposes your contact details or other sensitive information, Google offers several request routes. The available route depends on the information and where it appears.

An image result has at least two parts: the website hosting the file and the search engine showing it. Determine which one needs to change.

These outcomes sound similar but mean different things. Clear terminology prevents a misleading account of progress.

Removal & correction · 10

Before trying to change what others find, make a clear record of what they currently see.

Search & visibility · 13
An old company biography or abandoned social profile can still be a strong result for your name because it is one of the clearest pages about you online.
Read guide
Search & visibility · 14
When search results give an incomplete account of a person, the sustainable response is to make accurate information available in places people already trust.
Read guide
Search & visibility · 15
A personal website can give others one clear, current source for who you are and what you do. It works best when it is specific and verifiable.

Search & visibility · 16
An executive biography should serve two readers: the person deciding whether to trust you and the search engine trying to understand the page.
Read guide
Search & visibility · 17
There is no single timeline for reputation repair. A correction request, a search refresh, and the development of a credible public presence move on different schedules.
Read guide
Search & visibility · 18
SEO helps relevant pages become understandable and discoverable in search. Reputation management asks whether the resulting public picture is accurate, fair, and useful to the people who see it.
Read guide
Search & visibility · 19
A negative article may appear prominently because it clearly names you, comes from a recognised source, and answers what searchers appear to be looking for. No outsider can see every factor behind a particular ranking.

Search & visibility · 20
A reputation project needs evidence of change. A general claim that the situation looks better is hard to evaluate or sustain.

Identity & standing · 21
An executive presence should help investors, colleagues, partners, and prospective employees understand your experience without requiring you to disclose more than you intend.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 22
A founder's public identity should clarify what the business does and why that founder is qualified to lead it. It need not turn every personal detail into content.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 23
A professional setback can remain searchable long after circumstances change. Rebuilding trust usually requires a credible account of the facts and evidence of what followed.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 24
An effective executive biography answers three questions quickly: what do you do now, what experience supports it, and where can a reader verify more?

A LinkedIn profile often appears near the top of a name search. Treat it as a current professional record, not an unattended résumé.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 26
Conflicting job titles, dates, photographs, and biographies can make it difficult for a reader to know which account is current.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 27
Thought leadership earns attention when it shares a useful view grounded in real work. A publishing schedule alone does not create authority.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 28
A career change can leave search results with several competing descriptions of you. The goal is a clear current account without rewriting the past.
Read guide
Identity & standing · 29
Families can face exposure through social posts, directories, old photographs, and search results that connect members who did not choose a public role.

Being findable for professional reasons does not require publishing a home address, family history, or every personal opinion.

Organisations & response · 31
A company's reputation is shaped by what it does, what others experience, and the information they find. A workable programme connects those three realities.

Organisations & response · 32
A negative story can prompt a rushed response. The first useful step is to establish the facts and a clear decision process.
Read guide
Organisations & response · 33
A claim that is false can still spread quickly. A strong response corrects the record without repeating the allegation more widely than necessary.

A fast-moving complaint needs attention, but speed should not outrun the facts or the needs of the person affected.
Read guide
Organisations & response · 35
Not every critical article needs a public reply. The decision should follow the significance of the story and the information readers lack.

Organisations & response · 36
When a reputational issue develops, leadership needs a simple process for finding facts, making decisions, and keeping messages consistent.
Read guide
Organisations & response · 37
A disputed review may be fake, mistaken, or a genuine complaint presented unfairly. Establish which before responding.

Alerts can provide an early signal when new pages mention a person or business. They are a starting point, not a complete view of the web.

The first day is for preserving evidence, checking the facts, and deciding who needs an immediate response. A rushed public argument can make the issue harder to manage.

A high-profile audit must assess both public perception and unnecessary exposure, while keeping the subject's information confidential.

An initial conversation should help you understand the issue and possible routes without requiring you to disclose every sensitive detail at the first contact.
Read guide
Monitoring & advice · 49
Reputation work is priced around the work required, the specialists involved, and how long monitoring or development continues. A fixed fee without a defined scope tells you little.
