Boardroom and due-diligence-aware

We work with CEOs, directors, founders, and senior leaders across listed and private companies. Engagements respect the announcement, governance, and confidentiality considerations of the role.

Strictly confidential

Engagements routinely include internal legal, communications, and IR teams under their existing confidentiality arrangements.

Due-diligence aware

Familiar with how M&A, board appointments, and capital-raise due diligence look at executive search footprints.

Coordinated with counsel

We work alongside corporate counsel, defamation lawyers, and PR teams where their input is essential.

If any of these sound familiar, we can help

Most executives come to us with several issues at once. We address them in parallel. The longer damaging content sits on page one of branded searches, the harder it is to shift.

Old or damaging news coverage

Articles about historical proceedings, M&A activity, board departures, inaccurate reporting, or wire-syndicated coverage still ranking for your name years later.

M&A and due-diligence surfaces

Out-of-context articles or commentary surfacing during deal due diligence, board appointments, or capital-raise diligence searches.

Defamatory blog or forum content

Posts on LinkedIn, Reddit, Whirlpool, or independent blogs where defamation grounds exist under Australian law.

ASIC director records and commentary

ASIC register entries and associated news coverage surfacing on branded searches. Public records can't be removed but visibility can be reduced through suppression.

Personal data on broker sites

Your home address, family details, or contact information appearing on people-search aggregators you never signed up for.

Impersonation accounts and fake profiles

Fake LinkedIn, X, or Facebook accounts in your name posting content you didn't author. Platform removal pathways apply.

From assessment to outcome

Every matter starts with a free assessment by our Australian team. Within one business day you have a clear view of the realistic options across removal and suppression pathways.

01

Free assessment

Send us the specific content. Within 24 hours an Australian specialist outlines the realistic options.

02

Tailored strategy

Built around the specific platforms, applicable grounds, and your governance context. Coordinated with internal teams under their existing confidentiality arrangements where relevant.

03

04

Ongoing protection

Monitor for new content. Reinforce the positive footprint through tenure, role changes, and announcement cycles.

Build the search presence that outranks the damage

Public corporate records, factual news coverage, and historical reporting sometimes can't be removed. In those cases, search suppression is the path: accurate, authoritative content under your name that outranks the damaging results on the queries due-diligence teams and counterparts actually run.

Authoritative profile pages on high-domain platforms
Current corporate content under your name and role
Targeted SEO on the exact branded queries that surface damage
Continuous monitoring so new threats stay buried

Questions executives ask

If your question isn't here, ask us during the free assessment.

Can you address damaging news coverage on Google searches for my name?

Sometimes. Where coverage of historical matters, dismissed proceedings, or inaccurate reporting remains live we approach the publisher with right-of-reply or update requests. Where editorial cooperation isn't forthcoming, suppression pushes the article off page one of searches for your name. The free 24-hour assessment lays out the realistic options.

What about M&A or board due-diligence searches finding old content?

This is the most common reason executives engage us. Due-diligence teams search broadly, and old or out-of-context articles can derail conversations. We assess what's surfacing, identify removal pathways where they exist, and build a suppression footprint so accurate, current content dominates the first page.

Can you help with LinkedIn or other professional platform issues?

Yes, where platform policy or Australian law applies. Defamatory posts, impersonation accounts, and policy-breach content can be addressed through the platform's formal pathways. For posts that don't meet removal thresholds, suppression on branded searches reduces their visibility significantly.

Is the engagement confidential?

Yes. Confidential and no obligation. We work with senior executives across listed and private companies. The free assessment doesn't require you to disclose more than the specific content you're concerned about. Engagements often involve coordination with internal communications and legal teams, with confidentiality maintained throughout.

Do you work with my corporate counsel or PR team?

Yes. For defamation, breach of confidence, or matters with legal grounds we coordinate with your nominated counsel. For announcement-sensitive matters we work in parallel with corporate communications. We don't provide legal or PR advice ourselves; we handle the content and search-result side of the work.

How long do most engagements take?

Most engagements run 3 to 12 months depending on the platforms involved, whether legal pathways apply, and how entrenched the existing content is. The free assessment within one business day gives you a realistic timeline before you commit.

Outcomes depend on the specific content, applicable jurisdiction, available evidence, and platform or search conditions.
