Negative search results can be damaging to both individuals and businesses in Australia. When unwanted content from sources like The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, The Courier-Mail, and Herald Sun ranks at the top of Google, it can hurt your credibility and opportunities. Fortunately, Reputation Station specialises in pushing down negative search results using advanced SEO and reputation management strategies.
Why Negative Search Results Stick to the Top of Google
- High Domain Authority – News websites and review platforms are considered trustworthy by Google, making them difficult to outrank.
- Backlink Strength – Many negative articles and bad reviews attract backlinks, reinforcing their position.
- Search Demand – If people frequently search for a particular topic, Google keeps those results highly visible.
- Algorithmic Bias – Google prioritises news, reviews, and user-generated content over business-controlled pages.
Strategies to Push Down Negative Search Results
1. Create High-Authority Positive Content
The best way to outrank negative search results is to flood Google with high-quality, optimised content about your business.
- Publish press releases about positive company updates and achievements.
- Write SEO-optimised blogs to dominate search results with controlled messaging.
- Use guest posting to get authoritative websites discussing your business positively.
2. Optimise Your Website for SEO Domination
If your website is not ranking well, it will struggle to compete with negative articles.
- Improve on-page SEO (meta titles, descriptions, and keyword placement).
- Regularly update the site with fresh, keyword-rich content.
- Use internal linking to strengthen key pages.
3. Leverage Social Media for Reputation Control
Google indexes social media pages, so strong social profiles can help suppress negative results.
- Optimise LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles.
- Post regularly with engaging, keyword-optimised content.

- Get high-authority websites to link to your positive articles.
- Work with industry bloggers and influencers to improve credibility.
- Use PR strategies to generate positive media mentions.
5. Remove or Suppress Negative Reviews & Articles
- Google Removal Requests – If content is defamatory, private, or legally questionable, a removal request can be submitted.
- Publisher Outreach – Reputation Station contacts news outlets (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, etc.) to negotiate content updates or retractions.
- Bury Negative Articles – If direct removal isn’t possible, we use SEO techniques to push negative articles off the first page.
6. Dominate Google’s First Page with Video & Images
Google prioritises multimedia content, so videos and images can help push down negative results.
