We reduce the weight of harmful results on Google
We reinforce a balanced and up-to-date digital narrative

What is an online reputation crisis?
An online reputation crisis occurs when negative, controversial, false, decontextualised or harmful content begins to affect the public perception of a person, company or institution.
It can originate from a real situation, incomplete information, an old news story, a complaint, a malicious review, a leak, a misinterpretation or a coordinated campaign.
In many cases, the crisis does not end when people stop talking about it. If negative results keep appearing on Google, the crisis remains active for anyone searching for information about the brand.
Types of online reputation crises we manage
Each crisis has a different origin, but they all share the same risk: affecting trust and conditioning public perception
Media crisis
Negative news stories, journalistic investigations, adverse reports or content that ranks on Google with a partial, incomplete or outdated perspective.
Corporate or business crisis
Corporate scandals, internal conflicts, leaks, public accusations or situations that affect the trust of clients, partners or investors.
Personal or executive crisis
Content affecting the image of a person, executive or founder: old news stories, legal proceedings, exposed data or decontextualised information.
Crisis from negative reviews
False comments, malicious ratings or coordinated reviews that harm conversion and trust in the brand.
Data leak crisis
Exposure of private information, documents, images, phone numbers or sensitive data on pages, forums or search engines.
Legal or judicial crisis
Rulings, bulletins, sanctions, complaints or official documents that appear without context, even when the case has evolved or is closed.
Outdated content crisis
Old information that keeps appearing on Google and no longer represents the current situation. We work on its deindexing or displacement.
Why can a reputational crisis affect your business?
Digital reputation directly influences trust. Before hiring, investing, partnering or buying, many people search for information on Google or ask artificial intelligence tools.
If the first thing they find is a negative news story, a fake review or an uncontextualised accusation, perception can be conditioned even before any direct relationship with the brand exists.
An online reputation crisis can affect:
Crisis Management Protocol
Proven methodology to contain, control and recover your reputation in record time.

Containment plan
We define priority actions to reduce the reach of the crisis and prevent negative content from gaining further visibility.
Removal or deindexing when viable
We assess whether there are legal, technical or editorial avenues to request the removal, update or deindexing of content.
Reputational displacement strategy
We create and position positive, neutral and verified digital assets to balance search results.
Ongoing monitoring
We follow the evolution of results, detect new mentions and measure the progress of the strategy.
Initial response in less than 24 hours. We design an action plan tailored to each case.
We don't just respond to the crisis: we work on what Google shows about it
Many crises are managed solely through communications. However, even when public conversation dies down, search results may continue to show a negative image for years.
At Remove we work on the visible problem: the content that appears when someone searches for your name, your company or terms related to the crisis.
A crisis does not end when it stops being news. It ends when it stops conditioning public perception.
Services for managing an online reputation crisis
Depending on the case, we activate different lines of work to contain, correct or reduce the reputational impact
Reputational analysis on Google
We study the results associated with your brand, name, executives, products or terms linked to the crisis.
Monitoring of negative results
We detect harmful content, new mentions, position changes and emerging risks.
Content removal where possible
We assess the viability of removing content that violates rights, exposes data or is false, inaccurate or outdated.
URL deindexing from search engines
We request the removal of certain results from Google when there are legal, technical or reputational grounds.
Negative news management
We work on old, incomplete, decontextualised or harmful news stories that affect the image of a person or company.
Removal of false or harmful reviews
We review malicious reviews or those contrary to platform policies to assess their removal or reduction of impact.
Removal of exposed personal data
We act when phone numbers, addresses, documents, images, profiles or private information are published.
Action against fake profiles
We analyse profiles or accounts that impersonate an identity or damage the reputation of a brand or person.
Reputational content strategy
We create and position positive, neutral and verified content that helps balance the digital narrative.
Monitoring on Google and AI
We review how the brand appears on search engines and AI platforms to detect risks and opportunities for improvement.
Removal, deindexing or displacement: every crisis needs a different strategy
The goal is not to apply a generic solution, but to define the most effective path based on the origin, severity and real visibility of the crisis
Removal
We seek the removal of content from the original source when there are legal, editorial, technical or rights-violation grounds.
Deindexing
We request that a URL stop appearing in search results when it contains personal data, outdated, inaccurate or disproportionate information.
Displacement
We create and position higher-quality digital assets to reduce the visibility of negative results and balance public perception.

Real situations we regularly manage
A negative news story dominates Google results
Even though the situation has been resolved, the content keeps appearing as the first public reference.
A fake review is affecting conversion
Users find harmful opinions before contacting, booking or buying.
Old information escalates in search engines
The content is replicated in media, forums or blogs and starts ranking on Google.
A legal proceeding is associated with a person
The information appears without context, even though the case has evolved or is closed.
A smear campaign is affecting the brand
Fake profiles, coordinated comments or anonymous posts create a negative perception.
Old information no longer reflects reality
