Sometimes it’s not just one post. It’s not just one review or a single nasty comment. It’s a pattern. A coordinated, targeted, relentless effort to make you look bad — online, in public, everywhere.
That’s not a bad review. That’s a smear campaign. And if you’re in one right now, you know exactly what it feels like. It’s like drowning in whispers. One minute you’re doing your job, living your life — the next, people are treating you differently. Clients stop calling. Friends pull away. People who’ve never met you are judging you based on something they read.
And worst of all? You didn’t start it. You didn’t deserve it.
But you can stop it.
At Reputation Station, we help Australians who are being targeted online — whether by ex-employees, bitter exes, jealous competitors, or just flat-out trolls — and we build a digital wall so strong they can’t break through again.
What does a smear campaign look like?
It starts small. A sudden burst of bad reviews. A post on a local forum. A thread on Reddit accusing you of things you didn’t do. Maybe someone digs up an old photo, spins a false narrative, and it takes off. Suddenly it’s not one thing — it’s everywhere.
Google picks it up.
Your business listing is hit.
People are sharing links.
Your inbox gets quiet, but your stomach doesn’t.
You’re left asking:
How do I defend myself without making it worse?
That’s where we come in. Not with loud denial. Not with drama. But with a quiet, strategic counterstrike that makes the lies disappear — or at least makes sure they’re never found again.
How we shut it down
No bullet points here — just real talk.
First, we find out where it started. Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it takes digging. We look at dates, patterns, language, IP data when available. Our tech team is trained to trace campaigns across platforms — even if they’re anonymous.
Then we isolate the content that’s doing the most damage. If it’s defamatory, privacy-invading, or in breach of platform rules, we go straight to takedown mode. We hit Google. Facebook. Reddit. Hosting platforms. We build legal angles. We use real case law. We know which levers to pull.
But not everything can be removed — and that’s why suppression is so important.
We don’t just delete. We drown out the noise. We publish search-optimised content — articles, bios, press pieces, features — all pushing your real story, all ranked to bury the bad stuff so deep it becomes invisible.
Smear campaigns survive in silence. So we shine light where it matters most: page one of Google.
Real people. Real reputations. Real damage — reversed.
We’ve helped a Sydney restaurant owner who was targeted by fake vegan activist reviews. A Melbourne consultant accused of lies by a bitter former business partner. A Gold Coast woman trolled across forums after breaking off an engagement. In every case, we saw the same fear in their voices at first.
But we didn’t just fix what showed up online.
We gave them back control.
That’s what this is about.
Don’t let the internet become your judge, jury, and executioner
If you’re in the middle of a smear campaign, don’t just wait it out. It won’t stop. These things only grow when left unchecked. And the longer the bad content sits on page one, the more people will believe it.
Let us help.
Quietly. Legally. Fully under the radar.
