Why public-facing professionals come to ORMA
Public profile, taken seriously
We work with media personalities, commentators, speakers, consultants, and other professionals whose livelihood depends on what comes up when their name is searched.
Confidential engagements
The fact of engagement is itself confidential. Information flows on your terms.
Media-aware
Familiar with how interviews, op-eds, and TV/radio coverage compound on branded searches over time.
Booking-impact aware
Speaking, media, and consulting bookings are heavily influenced by first-page search results. We work the queries that drive them.
What we help with
If any of these sound familiar, we can help
Most clients 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Articles, interviews, or commentary that no longer represent your views, or were inaccurate at the time, still ranking on branded searches.
Defamatory social-media content
Posts on Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or independent blogs where defamation grounds exist under Australian law.
Impersonation and fake profiles
Fake accounts in your name posting content you didn't author. Platform removal pathways apply across all major social platforms.
Wikipedia and reference site issues
Inaccurate or out-of-date Wikipedia entries, IMDB, or industry directory coverage that influences first-impression searches.
Personal data on broker sites
Home addresses and family details on people-search aggregators that can turn online hostility into a physical-safety question for visible people.
Out-of-context quotes and clips
Old interviews, conference clips, or recorded commentary surfacing out of context. Publisher engagement and suppression strategies apply.
How we pursue removal
From assessment to outcome
Public profiles move fast, so 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 your news coverage, social profiles, and reference listings, spanning both removal and suppression pathways.
Free assessment
Send us the articles, posts, profiles, or clips. Within 24 hours an Australian specialist maps what's surfacing for your name and what can realistically be moved.
Tailored strategy
Built around your real platforms: news publishers, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and IMDB-style references, plus any active media cycle. Coordinated with your PR or media adviser where relevant.
Action
Publisher engagement on coverage, platform requests on social profiles, defamation pathways with counsel, and suppression across branded searches. Several fronts worked in parallel.
Ongoing protection
Monitor for fresh articles, posts, and clips as each media cycle turns over. Reinforce your authoritative profiles so new pieces don't take page one.
When removal isn't possible
Make your own profiles the story Google tells first
Factual news coverage, historical interviews, and accurate Wikipedia or IMDB entries sometimes can't be removed. In those cases, search suppression is the path: a current, accurate footprint under your name that outranks the older results on the branded queries journalists, bookers, and audiences actually run.
Popular questions
Questions public-facing professionals ask
If your question isn't here, ask us during the free assessment.
Can you address old quotes or interviews still surfacing for my name?
Often yes. Old interviews, articles, or commentary that no longer reflect your current views can sometimes be addressed through publisher engagement (updates, context additions, or removal where the article was inaccurate). Where the original article is factual but no longer wanted on page one, suppression strategies push it down on branded searches.
What about damaging social-media content I didn't post?
Defamatory posts, impersonation accounts, and policy-breach content on social media 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.
Do you work with my media adviser or PR team?
Yes. Engagements often coordinate with your existing PR adviser or media-relations contact. We handle the content and search-result side of the work; they handle media positioning. The two functions complement each other.
Can you help with Wikipedia inaccuracies?
Wikipedia is a special case. The platform's editorial rules don't accept direct edits by subjects or their representatives. We can identify factual inaccuracies, gather verifiable sources, and engage with the editor community through the platform's accepted dispute pathways. Outcomes depend heavily on the specific content and the available sources.
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.
Is the engagement confidential?
Yes. Confidential and no obligation. We work with media personalities, public commentators, senior consultants, and other public-facing professionals. The free assessment doesn't require you to disclose more than the specific content you're concerned about.
