You didn’t ask for this.
You didn’t agree to be in the spotlight.
And you sure as hell didn’t expect a Google search of your name to bring up a damaging story on The Age that’s ruining your life.
But here you are—fighting ghosts from the past on one of the most powerful search engines in the world. And they’re winning.
It’s not fair.
It’s not always true.
But it’s online—and that’s all people see.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to deal with it anymore.
Reputation Station Australia is here to help.
📰 Why The Age Articles Stay Glued to Page One
The Age is part of Nine Entertainment Co., one of the largest media networks in the country. That gives its articles massive authority in Google’s eyes. Once they publish something with your name in it—even if it’s a minor mention—it gets indexed and sticks like glue.
What kind of articles?
- Allegations (even if they never went to court)
- Old legal matters (even if resolved or withdrawn)
- Business disputes
- Personal stories that were shared without consent
- Public backlash you were caught in by association
For professionals in Melbourne, small businesses in Geelong, tradespeople in Ballarat, and public figures across Victoria—this kind of press can kill opportunities before you even know you had them.
🤯 The Real Damage Bad Press from The Age Can Cause
Here’s what most people don’t realise until it’s too late:
- You lose jobs before getting interviews
- Clients Google you and pull out
- Online trolls amplify old news
- Your mental health takes a beating
- Your family starts asking questions
- Your name becomes a punchline in search engines
One article—however minor—can define you in the eyes of the public. And because The Age is seen as a “trusted source,” you’re fighting against more than just words. You’re fighting the system.
But here’s the game changer:
💣 You can win.
🛠️ You don’t have to go it alone.
👊 How We Help You Remove or Suppress Articles from The Age
At Reputation Station, we don’t write blogs about what you could do.
We do it for you—professionally, confidentially, and effectively.
Our approach is strategic, layered, and tailored to each individual.
1. ✉️ Direct Takedown Requests
If there’s a legal or ethical reason the article shouldn’t be there—defamation, outdated public interest, false statements—we handle the request directly with Nine Media or the journalist.
2. ❌ De-Indexing from Google Australia
Even if an article stays online, we can often remove it from Google search results, especially if it’s damaging your personal or professional life unfairly.
3. 🧠 SEO Suppression with High-Value Content
If we can’t delete it, we bury it. We build a digital wall of positive, high-ranking, SEO-optimised content that gradually pushes The Age article off Page 1.
4. 🔄 Full Online Profile Rebuild
From your business listings to your LinkedIn profile and digital press releases—we re-engineer your online identity to reflect who you are now.
✅ Case Study: Local Business Owner in Melbourne
Meet James (not his real name), a café owner in Fitzroy. A dispute with a former employee spiralled into a headline on The Age. Though he wasn’t even named in the case directly, the article mentioned his business. Sales dropped. Reviews went cold. Trust disappeared overnight.
We:
- Had the article de-indexed from Google
- Created fresh PR content and interviews about his community work
- Ranked new articles above the old one
- Rebuilt his brand on social media, Google Maps, and local search
Within 6 weeks, the article was buried.
Within 3 months, foot traffic was back to normal.
🚫 Why You Shouldn’t “Wait It Out”
Google doesn’t care how long it’s been since the article was written.
It only cares how authoritative the site is and how often it gets clicked.
So what happens over time?
- The story keeps resurfacing
- More people see it
- Your name becomes associated with that narrative
- And new articles link to the old one, keeping it alive
You can’t just hope it goes away.
You need a team that knows how to make it go away.
