The subject is an individual represented by a PR agency who faced negative press stemming from a court-case accusation, of which they were ultimately acquitted.
Search results for their name were tainted by this controversy.
Prior to this campaign, they had not undertaken any targeted SEO or Digital PR efforts to suppress unfavourable content.
With search results for the individual’s name impacted by negative press, we implemented a one-month reputation recovery campaign that would:
Meta-analysis of studies from 2000–2025 showing that digital perception has a measurable, positive impact on organisational value – driving sales, brand equity and even stock performance.
Analysis of 1 million US-keyword SERPs shows referring-domain count still correlates strongly with Google rankings (ρ ≈ 0.255), reaffirming backlinks’ critical role.
Top-ranked pages acquire 5-14% more followed backlinks per month compared to lower-ranked pages – demonstrating a clear link between ongoing link acquisition velocity and high SERP placement.
Publishing high-authority articles quickly ensures positive profile pages take over page one results, shaping first impressions and shifting attention away from outdated press.
A consistent cadence of placements supports all three findings – restoring trust, controlling branded searches, and protecting long-term reputation.
Strategic Foundation
Rank Engine’s Project Builder turns weekly campaign planning into a few minutes of setup.
Precise audience filters, URL targeting, and Smart Select criteria fed our AI agents the exact same blueprint – so every article and site-selection stayed perfectly aligned with the client’s message.
Key setup benefits
Smart Select was chosen – balancing the best outcomes for relevance, traffic, and authority. DA40 / DA50 / DA60+ options remain available when DA is the primary goal.
Global TLD targeting balances authoritative prospects with geographic relevance. This allowed for a mix of authoritative .coms as well as niche .au placements.
The target URL and anchor text were entered here. Clicking Add opens another placement slot – so you can set up additional articles/backlinks.
Clients who prefer oversight can tick either box to review article drafts or site choices before anything goes live. Left unchecked allows for fully managed publishing and the fastest turnaround.
The platform refines and expands any client-submitted topics, layering in deep research from the brief, industry news, and expert commentary.
If no topics are provided, the system analyses the client brief, scans current industry news, and reviews fresh expert commentary to surface the most relevant angles.
The platform generates an editorial-quality draft for each theme, integrating case studies, data points, expert quotes, and the client’s core expertise.
We embed contextual backlinks to the client’s pages, add relevant images, and include external citations, ensuring each article is rich, credible and visually engaging.
Our team then verifies all facts, polishes tone, and ensures brand mentions read as genuine insight, not promotional content.
Profile Target Selection
We focused on ranking ten key properties for the client’s name on page 1 of Google: their social media profiles and personal blog. These pages already appeared on pages 1–3, making them ideal foundations to strengthen.
To create full SERP dominance and reinforce page 1 visibility, our newly published editorials also secured spots on pages 2 and 3 – ensuring negative results were moved out of sight.
ANCHORS & URLS
Each editorial placement featured one primary backlink using the client’s name as anchor text, pointing to one of the target profiles. They also used our Additional URLs feature to include up to two extra backlinks per article – Rank Engine automatically selects descriptive anchors positioned naturally near the client’s name.
This yielded as many as 3 contextually relevant backlinks per article, accelerating link acquisition while maintaining authenticity.

Securing 100% positive page-one visibility means every search for the individual’s name now reflects credibility and achievements – not controversy – instantly rebuilding audience confidence.

A Digital PR campaign incorporates your brand (or your client’s) directly into the content, positioning it as a real-world example alongside relevant but non-competing brands.
You can also customise the campaign with article topics, quotes, and more.
An SEO campaign focuses on natural backlinking without directly mentioning your brand in the content. Instead, links are placed contextually within relevant content using your target keywords.
This format is ideal for SEO-driven campaigns that benefit from subtle, contextually relevant links.

They would be included as other relevant sources, with anchor text that we select.
Your additional URLs must be relevant to your PR Target and either:
We'll aim to include up to two additional URLs within an article. You cannot choose anchor text for these URLs.
The inclusion of these additional URLs is up to the publisher's discretion. While not guaranteed, we will make every effort to include your additional URLs.
