Why Australian Search Results Still Show Old Crimes — And What You Can Do About It
You’ve moved on. You’ve served your time. You’ve changed your life.
But when someone searches your name, all they see is the past.
Google still shows old crime reports, court cases, and negative articles — even if they’re years out of date. It’s unfair, damaging, and in Australia, it’s completely legal. That’s the harsh truth.
At Reputation Station, we don’t accept that. We fix it.
Why Google Doesn’t Let the Past Go
In Australia, there’s no “right to be forgotten” like there is in parts of Europe. That means even if you’ve rebuilt your life, past criminal records or related articles can still sit front and centre in search results — for everyone to see.
Google’s algorithm ranks content based on relevance and authority — not fairness. So if your name appears in an old news article, even one from 10+ years ago, Google will keep showing it unless someone challenges it.
That someone is us.
We Suppress Old Criminal Content — Permanently
We specialise in pushing outdated and damaging content off page one of Google, so people searching your name don’t see it.
We don’t just post a few blogs. We launch a full-scale SEO suppression campaign designed to bury the negative result and replace it with content that tells the story you want the world to see.
Results start showing in the first few weeks. Full page-one suppression usually takes 3–4 months — and we handle everything start to finish.
You don’t need to relive it. We make sure you don’t have to.
Your Past Shouldn’t Define You
Everyone makes mistakes. But only some people get stuck with theirs at the top of a Google search forever.
We’ve helped Australians from all walks of life — professionals, parents, ex-offenders, and everyday people — get their names back.
Quietly. Discreetly. Effectively.
