Removing a defamatory Reddit thread and restoring sales confidence
Wonsulting Career acceleration company Wonsulting removed a recurring sales obstacle and strengthened its online reputation by eliminating a defamatory Reddit thread and rebuilding trust across search results.
A thread that followed them into sales calls
Wonsulting was dealing with a negative, defamatory Reddit thread that repeatedly came up during sales calls. It created hesitation, slowed down deals, and forced the team to spend time defending against false claims instead of focusing on growth.
They did not know how to eliminate the threat, or how to outweigh it if removal was not possible. We addressed the issue directly and then reinforced everything around it.
What we changed, not the algorithm
We did not try to bury the problem. We removed it and corrected the narrative. After the Reddit thread was successfully removed, a major source of friction disappeared from the sales process almost immediately. From there, we strengthened the reputation footprint.
- Branded authority in search: reinforced so the right pages define the brand
- Profiles working together: directories and listings aligned, not scattered
- Negative links contained: page-one negatives no longer frame the conversation
The same search, before and after
Instead of one negative thread defining the conversation, prospects now meet a consistent, credible brand presence across search.
How we approached it
“That negative and false post was coming up on sales calls, and since it was removed, that problem stopped. That alone was a clear win, and we really appreciate that.” Wonsulting
