In Perth, your reputation is everything.
It’s a tight-knit business community, a word-of-mouth town.
People talk. People Google.
And when they Google you — a damaging WA Today article comes up.
Old, unfair, one-sided, taken out of context… doesn’t matter.
It’s right there, on Page 1.
And suddenly, everything you’ve worked for starts slipping away.
Sound familiar?
You’re not the only one. And more importantly — you’re not stuck with it.
📰 Why WA Today Articles Rank So High on Google
WA Today is part of the Nine/Fairfax Media network, which gives it a lot of weight in Google’s eyes. Articles from WA Today:
- Get indexed within minutes
- Appear in Google’s top results for your name
- Often show in news carousels and auto-suggests
Even if the article:
- ❌ Misrepresents the facts
- 📆 Is years out of date
- 🧾 Doesn’t include your side of the story
…it still dominates your digital presence.
This is especially dangerous in Perth, where communities are smaller, networks are tighter, and your name matters more than ever.

We’ve helped dozens of clients across Western Australia deal with this exact issue.
Real impact includes:

…that one WA Today article is hurting your future.
🤷♂️ “Can I Just Ask WA Today to Take It Down?”
Short answer? You can try.
But you’ll likely run into:
- “We stand by our reporting.”
- “The article is still in the public interest.”
- Zero response at all.
Even if you get an update or minor edit, Google still shows the original headline and ranking.
That’s why so many WA professionals come to us to take real, lasting action.
🛠️ Reputation Station’s Strategy for WA Today Articles
We’ve developed a proven process for removing, suppressing, or de-indexing damaging articles from WA Today.
Here’s how we fix it:
1. 🔎 Deep Assessment of the Article
We don’t just skim the story. We analyse the content, tone, legal implications, and SEO structure to understand:
- Is it defamatory?
- Is it outdated?
- Is it causing provable harm?
If there’s an opportunity for removal, we take it.
2. 📬 Formal Removal Requests
Where appropriate, we’ll handle direct takedown or redaction requests with WA Today editors or their legal team. We bring authority and legal weight to the conversation.
3. ❌ Google De-Indexing Requests
If the article can’t be removed, we apply directly to Google Australia to get it removed from your name search. This removes it from public visibility in most cases, even if it stays on the site.
4. 🔝 SEO Suppression Campaign
Our team creates and publishes positive, high-ranking content that gradually pushes the WA Today article off Page 1. This includes interviews, articles, bios, directory listings, and more — all built for Google dominance.
5. 🧱 Digital Footprint Rebuild
We don’t stop until your entire first page of Google tells your story — not theirs. Clean, credible, professional.
🧑🍳 Case Example: Hospitality Owner in Perth
A restaurant owner in Leederville was named in a WA Today piece about local food safety concerns. His business passed inspection, but the article left a lasting mark.
We:
- Submitted a redaction request (approved)
- Got the article de-indexed from Google
- Created a 6-piece PR campaign including video interviews and food reviews
- Took over all top Google search results for his name and business within 12 weeks
👩⚕️ Case Example: Nurse in Mandurah
A frontline nurse was wrongly linked to workplace drama in a community-focused story. She wasn’t the subject—but her name appeared in the article. The fallout? Relentless.
Reputation Station:
- Had her name removed from the article
- Rebuilt her digital presence with professional recognition stories
- Fully cleaned up her name on search within 2 months
