Suppressed Negative Links from Google Results

How our strategic ORM approach helped a client from the U.S. reclaim her digital reputation within just 5 months.

Case Study

Case Overview

In February 2025, a U.S.-based woman approached us after becoming a victim of online defamation. Her ex-boyfriend had posted multiple negative articles tarnishing her personal reputation. These five articles appeared prominently on Google’s first page.

She contacted ReputaForge seeking expert guidance to suppress these damaging links and restore her authentic digital presence.

  • Negative Backlinks: 5
  • Estimated Duration: 6–8 months
  • Actual Completion: 5 months
  • Team: 2 ORM Specialists

Understanding the Challenge

Before implementation, our team conducted a complete digital audit to evaluate the visibility and influence of negative content. The analysis included:

  • Assessing each link’s domain and page authority.
  • Evaluating content length, publication history, and update frequency.
  • Monitoring ranking volatility and SERP fluctuations.
  • Investigating the backlinks supporting negative pages.

Based on our assessment, a 6–8 month window was forecasted for successful suppression and rank replacement.
