At RBS Reputation Management, we don’t believe in offering a one-size-fits-all solution for all our clients. From our initial consultation to delivering the best possible and successful AP news defamation removal services, we try to maintain a higher quality level of service for all our clients.
Step 1: Audit & Assessment
During the initial stage, we conduct a comprehensive audit of your online footprint. For all our clients, we locate the AP news article in question and its third-party syndications that are majorly impacting their online reputation. Additionally, we analyze the search rankings of these AP news articles, their visibility across the search engine rankings, and the level of the reputational harm caused. This thorough assessment allows us to assess the AP news content for potential removal and identify whether the AP news article is defamatory, outdated, or has violated privacy.
Step 2: Strategy Selection
Based on the audit, we develop personalized AP content removal strategies. Initially, we directly contact the editorial team of AP or the newsroom representatives to request the complete article removal from their site or app. We collect and provide all the evidence to prove that our AP news removal claim is valid enough to initiate a complete removal. It allows us to show that the AP news article is not accurate or contains irrelevant content. We focus on pursuing the publisher to add a ‘noindex’ tag, which will eventually keep the article live but hide it from the Google search results. Apart from this, we leverage legal frameworks, such as submitting the DMCA takedown notices if the content severely infringes on intellectual property rights.
Step 3: Execution
Now it’s time to execute our AP news media coverage removal plan. We actively execute the chosen strategy to remove or suppress the AP news article. We send professional, legal, and administrative requests to the editorial team of the Associated Press. Throughout the process, we ensure that our strategy is aligned with editorial standards and legal requirements. We use Google’s ‘Remove Outdated Content’ tool or submit ‘Legal Removal Requests’ to delist the links that violate privacy or search engine policies. We publish high-quality content to outrank the negative link to the negative news and suppress negative search results.
Step 4: Monitoring & Prevention
Our services cover beyond just the strategic removal of the AP negative news article. After we successfully remove the news content, we ensure that the deleted news doesn’t reappear across the web. We thoroughly monitor the search engine presence of the AP news article using various SEO tools to track the status of the deleted URLs and ensure that they stay de-indexed. We also set up monitoring tools to track any type of new online mentions of your name or your brand name in the AP news, allowing us to initiate a quick, proactive intervention for your online presence.
