Target of an Online Smear Campaign in Australia? Here’s How to Fight Back and Win


You can feel it before you even know where it’s coming from.

People stop calling. Clients hesitate. Someone makes a weird comment that only makes sense when you Google yourself — and there it is. A blog post. A Reddit thread. A bad-faith review. Maybe it’s all of the above.

Suddenly you’re not dealing with a bad link or one tough article — you’re dealing with a full-blown smear campaign. And it’s not just unfair. It’s calculated.

At Reputation Station, we help Australians who are being targeted online by malicious, coordinated attacks — from jealous exes, disgruntled competitors, personal enemies, and anonymous trolls who just want to watch your name burn.

If you’re under digital fire, here’s the good news: you can fight back. And you can win.


It starts with a lie, and it spreads fast

Smear campaigns always start the same way — someone decides they want to hurt you. Not with fists. With words, fake profiles, reviews, articles, social media posts, or twisted half-truths published just far enough away from the truth to do real damage.

They hit the platforms that Google loves:
Google reviews.
Trustpilot.
Twitter/X.
Reddit.
Blogspot.
Personal websites.
Complaint forums.

They post anonymously or under fake names. They stitch together something that sounds believable. They exaggerate, they twist, they get other people involved — and before you know it, your name starts pulling up garbage instead of your work, your achievements, your truth.

And worst of all? People believe it. Because when something shows up on page one of Google, it feels real. Even when it’s 100% false.


Smear campaigns are designed to make you feel powerless — but you’re not

This isn’t something you can ignore. The “just let it go” advice doesn’t work when the lies are ranking above your own business. When they’re getting clicks. When people are reading and judging you based on it.

What you need is a coordinated, professional, legal and digital response.

That’s what we do.


Here’s how we dismantle online smear campaigns

We don’t just go after individual posts. We investigate the full attack pattern. Where it’s coming from, how it’s spreading, what platforms are hosting it, how Google is indexing it, and where the pressure points are to make it stop.

We prepare detailed takedown reports — citing breaches of terms of service, defamation laws, coordinated harassment policies, and privacy rights.

We don’t just flag things. We escalate.

And while the takedown process begins, we build your shield:
Clean content. Real content. High-authority profiles and positive pages that rank higher, push down the trash, and restore your reputation one search result at a time.

The goal?
You Google your name… and the lies are gone.
Either removed, or buried beneath the truth.


This isn’t just about SEO — it’s about mental health, livelihood, and your right to be seen clearly

Online smear campaigns ruin people. That’s not an exaggeration. They’ve ended careers. Broken up families. Caused breakdowns. We’ve seen it.

But we’ve also seen what happens when people fight back — properly. With a plan. With the right support.

We’ve helped small business owners in Melbourne recover from coordinated fake reviews. We’ve helped professionals in Brisbane bury lies posted on forums. We’ve cleaned up reputations for influencers, public figures, and everyday Aussies who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is what we do — and we do it discreetly, legally, and aggressively.


You don’t have to explain yourself to strangers anymore

If you’re waking up with anxiety about what people might find online… if you’re sick of defending yourself against lies you didn’t write… if you’re ready to get your name back and put this behind you once and for all —

Then let’s start.
