Seeking Expertise in Suppressing Negative Search Results
Dear Forum Members,
I am reaching out to discuss an approach to managing online reputation and effectively suppressing undesirable search results. Recently, I engaged with a professional link-building team to address specific challenges related to search engine results associated with my name. Here's an outline of the situation:
I have certain negative search results appearing prominently when searching variations of my name: "Jimmy Gedeon," "Jim Gedeon," or "James Gedeon," particularly in Concord, NH. These include:
Personnel Appeals Board Documents: New Hampshire Personnel Appeals Board meeting notes (Docket #2022-T-025).
Legal Case Dockets: A case titled Jimmy Gedeon v. NZ. BEAUTE BAR, LLC from Hillsborough County Superior Court.
Federal Court Documents: Case records titled Gedeon v. United Healthcare Services, Inc.
Despite being public records, these results negatively influence perceptions of my professional image as a technology expert.
To counter this, the link-building team is implementing the following strategies:
Leveraging a mix of domain authority (DA 30-70) links to ensure quality and credibility.
Utilizing drip-fed backlinks to maintain a natural, organic profile.
Incorporating niche-relevant and general domains for diversity.
Focusing on do-follow and contextual links to boost the visibility of positive content.
Key targets for backlinking include:
My LinkedIn profile: Highlighting professional achievements.
Personal blog or article repository: Showcasing certifications, leadership, and expertise.
Articles on community/industry involvement: Emphasizing my positive contributions.
