Case Study / Founder Putting a bankruptcy behind you.
A bankruptcy ages off a credit report in as little as seven years. Google keeps it on page one until somebody makes it move. A technology founder came to us with six results doing exactly that. Some of them we removed. The rest we buried under the truth.
6 to 0
Bankruptcy results on page one, three months
4
Aggregators removed outright
Held
Maintained across repeat checks
Count of bankruptcy-related results on the first page of Google for the client's name. All six were legal aggregators republishing the filings. Held across repeat checks after the engagement.
How to read this
All six were aggregators republishing the same filing, not six separate stories. Four came down outright. The other two were outranked, and the result has held on every check since.
The problem
Six results on page one, all of them the bankruptcy. A credit report forgets this faster than Google does, and a founder raising a next round meets it in every diligence search.
What we did
Every one of the six was a legal aggregator republishing the filing. We filed against the ones with a route and removed four outright. For the two that stayed, we built accurate current material about the work they are doing now.
Where it landed
Six to zero in three months, and it has held across repeat checks since. The filing is still public where it always was. It is no longer the first thing anyone reads.
A filing is public record. Being defined by it is a choice somebody else made.
How we measured it. All six page-one results were legal aggregators republishing the filings. Removed where eligible, outranked where not. Client specifics under NDA.
Every case study we publish is anonymized, and every figure on this page came out of the client's own account or a dated live check. We do not publish a number we cannot show you the source of.
