When an article from News.com.au ranks on Page 1 of Google for your name or company, it can be incredibly difficult to shake — even years after the issue is resolved. News.com.au articles are highly indexed, syndicated, and built to last. But they’re not untouchable.
At Reputation Ace, we specialise in removing, suppressing, and de-indexing damaging media results — including those from News.com.au and other major Australian publications — so your name isn’t dragged through outdated or harmful content every time someone runs a search.
Why News.com.au Content is a Real Threat
These articles are:
- Often sensational in tone
- Optimised to rank well for names and topics
- Frequently syndicated across other platforms (Herald Sun, NT News, Courier Mail, etc.)
- Very hard to challenge through standard support channels
If your name is in the headline or body, expect it to rank high — and cause ongoing reputational damage.
Our Three-Pronged Strategy
1. Targeted Legal-Style Takedown Requests
We draft direct communications to News Corp’s editorial or legal team, focusing on:
- Outdated or irrelevant information
- Privacy violations
- Unfair naming or misrepresentation
- Spent convictions or court suppression angles
Even if full removal isn’t granted, sometimes we achieve edits, headline changes, or updated tags.
2. Google De-indexing
We escalate to Google Australia, requesting the article be removed from search results — even if it stays live on News.com.au. We do this under:
- Personal harm / outdated personal data
- Irrelevant legal coverage
- Spent conviction laws
- Inaccurate reporting or privacy breach
We’ve had strong success using these methods, even when News won’t cooperate.
3. Full Suppression Campaign
This is the long-term fix. We build a wave of powerful, branded or neutral content to take over Page 1:
- Press releases, bios, business listings
- Articles on controlled domains
- Video content and social signals
- Microsites and SEO-optimised landing pages
- Link architecture designed to outrank the news content
Within 4–6 weeks, the search results start to shift — and the article starts falling.
How Long It Takes
We work month to month and begin the moment you’re onboard. Usually, we start seeing traction within the first 72 hours, with more significant shifts within 3–4 months.
You don’t lift a finger — we handle all copy, publishing, link-building, and monitoring.
