You woke up one day and found yourself in the headlines.
A news story.
A viral post.
An article linking your name to something you never saw coming — or didn’t deserve.
Whether it was:
- A scandal (real or exaggerated)
- A legal issue that’s now resolved
- An ex-employee or customer going to the media
- Or simply a bad PR storm…
You’re now dealing with the consequences online — even long after the story died down.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
At Reputation Station, we help Australians from all walks of life rebuild their reputation after media fallout — and we do it fast, discreetly, and properly.
📰 What Happens When Your Name Hits the Media
It doesn’t even have to be front-page news.
If you’re named in:
- News.com.au
- The Age
- Herald Sun
- Courier Mail
- ABC News
- WA Today
- Or even a niche industry blog…
That article will rank high on Google, stick around for years, and become the first thing people see when they search your name.
You could be:
- A professional in Sydney
- A small business owner in Melbourne
- A public figure in Brisbane
- A teacher in Adelaide
- A consultant in Perth
But once your name is tied to a headline, it follows you everywhere — clients, employers, investors, even friends and family.
🤯 The Real-World Impact of a Media Backlash
Let’s be real — Google is ruthless. And it doesn’t care about context.
That one article or headline can cost you:
- 🧾 Work contracts
- 📉 Revenue
- ❌ Job opportunities
- 💔 Relationships
- 🧠 Mental health and confidence
And the worst part? The media moves on — but the search result doesn’t.
🛠️ Rebuilding Your Online Reputation — Step by Step
Here’s how we fix it at Reputation Station:
✅ 1. Analyse the Media Coverage and Google Rankings
We assess:
- Where the damaging content is appearing
- What keywords it’s linked to
- How strong its SEO is
- Whether it’s hosted on mainstream or syndicate platforms
- If there’s any legal, editorial or PR opportunity to challenge it
This gives us a blueprint to take control.
✅ 2. Remove or De-Index Damaging Content (If Possible)
If the article is:
- Inaccurate
- Outdated
- Misleading
- No longer in the public interest
- Or causing serious personal harm
…we may be able to:
- Get it taken down
- Have your name removed
- Get it de-indexed from Google.com.au
We’ve done this with:
- ABC
- The Courier Mail
- The Age
- WA Today
- Industry-specific sites and forums
✅ 3. Launch SEO Suppression & Content Replacement
We don’t just push the bad stuff down — we build a new version of your name that Google ranks higher.
This includes:
- Press releases
- Thought-leadership content
- Business bios
- Third-party media articles
- LinkedIn-optimised profiles
- Interviews, features, and brand-safe media exposure
All focused on ranking for your name, pushing the bad stuff into digital obscurity.
✅ 4. Rebuild Your Personal Brand Online
We create a clean, credible, high-trust digital footprint for you.
That includes:
- Google Business Profile rebuilds
- Clean directory listings
- Verified author profiles
- Client success stories
- Online portfolio pages
- Video content where appropriate
We rebuild your image on your terms.
