Push it down the page
Search Result Suppression
When a damaging article or page sits near the top of Google for your name or business, we work to push it further down the results, so people see the right story first.
Page 1
is where first impressions are made, so that is where we focus.
Honest
Accurate, positive content only. No fake reviews, no fake news.
Ongoing
Monitoring and reports while we work, so you always know where things stand.
What is search result suppression?
Some content can’t be removed from Google, because it doesn’t break any law or Google policy. Suppression is the next best option: we build up accurate, positive and relevant pages about you or your business so they outrank the content you don’t want people to see.
Most people never look past the first page of Google. Moving a damaging result off page one can make a real difference to the first impression you give customers, employers and partners.
It is a steady, ongoing piece of work rather than a one-off fix, and we keep you updated on where things stand along the way.
Illustration only. Every case is different, and Google makes the final call.
Who it’s for
- Australian businesses with an old news story, complaint thread or competitor page ranking for their name.
- Business owners and professionals whose own name brings up something outdated or unfair.
- Anyone who has been told a page can’t be removed and wants to reduce how often it is seen.
How it works.
A done-for-you service. You tell us what is showing up, we do the work.
-
Enquire
Send us the search terms you care about and the results that are causing harm.
-
We assess your case
We look at what ranks today and tell you honestly what suppression can realistically achieve for those searches.
-
We build and promote
We create and strengthen accurate, positive pages and profiles so they compete for those top spots.
-
We track and report
We monitor the rankings and report back on progress. Google decides the order of results.
What we can’t do.
- We can’t delete the original page. Suppression changes where it ranks, not whether it exists.
- We can’t guarantee a ranking or a timeframe. Google decides what ranks and where.
- We don’t publish fake reviews, fake news or misleading content, and we don’t attack other people’s pages.
- We are not Google and don’t work for Google.
Pricing and timing
Pricing depends on how many search terms are involved and how strong the results are that need to move. Every case is different, so we don’t publish set prices. We give you a clear quote and a realistic timeframe after a free assessment, before any work starts.
Questions we get asked.
What is the difference between suppression and removal?
Removal means the content is taken down or de-indexed, which only happens when it breaks a law or Google’s policies. Suppression leaves the content where it is but pushes it down the results with stronger, positive pages, so fewer people see it.
Can you remove a news article from Google?
Usually not. Google rarely removes lawful news content. If an article is defamatory, outdated or breaches a policy, there may be other options, and we will tell you honestly if we think there are. Otherwise, suppression is often the practical way forward.
How long does search result suppression take?
It depends on how established the result is and how competitive the search term is. We will give you a realistic timeframe after assessing your case.
Will the negative result come back?
It can. Rankings change over time, which is why suppression works best as an ongoing effort rather than a one-off job. We will talk you through what keeping results down looks like for your case.
How much does search result suppression cost?
Pricing depends on the number of search terms and how hard the results are to move. We give you a clear quote after a free assessment, before any work starts.
Do you work with individuals as well as businesses?
Yes. We help Australian businesses, business owners and professionals with results for their business name or their own name.
