AI Search and Your Reputation: How Google, ChatGPT, and Bing AI Shape Public Perception
The New Reality: AI Search Controls Your Reputation The way people search online is changing—fast. Google AI, Bing AI, and ChatGPT are now reshaping how information is surfaced, ranked, and displayed. If you or your business has negative search results, AI-powered search models won’t forget—they collect, summarise, and spread content across multiple platforms.
Why AI Makes Negative Press Even Worse
- AI search tools pull from multiple sources – Even if one article is buried in Google, AI may still surface it in summaries.
- Once negative content is indexed, it sticks – AI doesn’t care about recency, only data relevance.
- AI-generated answers become trusted sources – People are now using ChatGPT and AI search assistants as their first stop for research.
What Doesn’t Work Against AI Reputation Damage
- Trying to delete past content – AI tools pull from hundreds of sources, meaning one removal won’t fix everything.
- Ignoring AI-driven search trends – Failing to optimise for AI search means you have no control over what it shows.
- Relying only on traditional SEO – AI doesn’t rank pages like Google—it summarises and presents information differently.
How to Take Back Control from AI-Driven Search
Influencing AI Training Data – We ensure that AI models prioritise positive sources and avoid outdated or misleading content.
Structuring Content for AI Search – AI models prefer structured, fact-based data, so we create highly indexable, authoritative content.
Optimising AI Prompt Responses – We train AI models to omit outdated or misleading references by flooding their sources with reputable content.
Case Study: AI Reputation Control for an Australian Business A Melbourne-based entrepreneur found that ChatGPT was summarising old, inaccurate news articles whenever people asked about them. While these articles no longer ranked on Google’s front page, they still appeared in AI-generated answers.
Solution: Created a series of expert articles and interviews published on reputable websites.
Built structured data sources and high-authority profiles to train AI models.
Used AI-specific content ranking techniques to replace outdated information.
Outcome: Within six months, AI-generated responses shifted to highlighting their current business success instead of past controversy.
How Long Does AI Reputation Suppression Take?
Simple corrections: 3-6 months – AI models update their sources, but it takes time for changes to take effect.
Full-scale AI content redirection: 6-12 months+ – Requires continuous content engineering to maintain AI control.
