You can always hire a professional reputation defender or reputation management firm to defend your name or you can try to defend your name yourself!

Defending your reputation after someone posts something negative about you online can be a time consuming task, and if you demand it be removed from whatever website it is on, you might just make things worse.

If you find your name or company name listed on a complaint portal or get a bad negative review on a blog and you want no one to see it, you may try to contact the website owner and ask them to remove it. 90% of the time they will say no! Then you may threaten them, this will only add fuel to the fire!

Instead of trying to remove or have the bad post removed, you may want to try and have it displaced.

To displace a negative that people find on search engines about your comapany, you must create a lot of highy seo positives. These positive posts will dilute and drown out the negatives so no one can find them easily on search engines. This is called displacement.
