Political reputation can be very complicated. No one has mastered it, otherwise politicians wouldn’t have negativity surrounding their online presence. That doesn’t mean to say we can’t manage it effectively.

The good news is we handle cases like yours every day of the week. We know what we are doing and offer solutions that work.
Online Monitoring
As part of every campaign, we start by enacting monitoring on every type of media source so that we can find potentially negative content and handle it before it becomes a major problem.
This enables us to be proactive with our approach to your campaign, instead of reacting every time a new piece of content suddenly appears on page 1 of your searches.
Depending on the type of content published, we may be able to have it removed within a few days so the damage it could cause is massively reduced.
Proactive Campaigns
The most effective Political reputation management campaigns are the ones that don’t wait for something to go wrong before putting one in place.
This is why we always recommend having a plan in place for your political campaign, even if you don’t have anything to bury or remove. This leads to 2 positive outcomes:
- Pre-populate your searches with positive content
- Mitigate the damage future negative content will have on your online profile
For lack of a better phrase, don’t get caught with your pants down.
Immediate Content Removal
Once we have the monitoring and the proactive campaigns in place, this gives us the best possible advantage when it comes to harmful content appearing on your searches.
As soon as we get a notification about anything new appearing on your searches, we immediately categorise it (positive/negative/neutral)
If the content is harmful, we may then be able to apply to the website and/or relevant search engines to have the link removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add or remove work depending on my ability to supply content?
Absolutely. If you agreed to supply us content and then cannot, we can either post extra content elsewhere or even create new content ourselves (which is the typical solution we advise).
How long does it take to affect the searches?
The time taken is the number one question we get and it can be answered, just not broadly. For example, imagine a politician in a tiny town asking this question. The answer could be a few weeks to a month. Now imagine the same question when the politician is Donald Trump who is in national news every day for something he’s said. Now we are talking months/years of sustained work to mitigate any damage simply because there are a lot of angles to cover, a lot of news sources to beat, and a lot of social media platforms to outrank when they are all trying to be number one on your search term for that exposure.
