Reputation Ace vs. Local Press: How We Beat UK News Articles in Google
It’s one of the most common problems we deal with.
Someone’s name appears in a local news article — maybe about a court case, an arrest, or a neighbourhood incident — and suddenly that piece is everywhere. Google picks it up, ranks it, and your name is now tied to something you want buried.
The press won’t remove it. Google won’t remove it.
But we will push it out of sight.
This is where Reputation Ace comes in — and where we win.
The Problem With Local UK News Sites
Local outlets like:
-
Manchester Evening News
-
Liverpool Echo
-
Kent Online
-
Wales Online
-
Birmingham Mail
-
Glasgow Times
…are often owned by major groups like Reach PLC or Newsquest.
These stories are written with your full name, often in the headline, and they rank well because they’re seen as “authoritative sources”. Even worse — they’re syndicated across multiple domains, amplifying the damage.
The result?
One local story becomes five or six links dominating your Google search results.
Our Suppression Strategy
Reputation Ace deploys a multi-phase suppression campaign designed to knock these articles off page one — permanently.
We don’t email editors or ask for removals. We outperform the articles with:
-
High-authority positive content targeting your name
-
SEO-engineered publishing networks
-
Link structure balancing to dilute negative article weight
-
Real-time monitoring and adjustments
Early results typically show within weeks, and most clients see the damaging links buried from Google’s first page in 3 to 4 months.
We’ve Handled Every Kind of Local Story
Whether it’s a story from 2019 or last week, we’ve successfully buried:
-
Local crime reporting
-
Magistrates’ court appearances
-
Arrest announcements
-
Anti-social behaviour articles
-
Minor offences blown out of proportion
We do it quietly, professionally, and effectively — with no legal conflict or public escalation.

You don’t have to live with a story that no longer reflects who you are.
We’ll make sure no one else does either.
