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, so we removed some of them and buried the rest under the truth.
6 to 0
Bankruptcy results on page one, three months
4
Aggregators removed outright
Held
Maintained across repeat checks
This counts bankruptcy-related results on the first page of Google for the client's name, and all six were legal aggregators republishing the filings. The count held across repeat checks after the engagement.
How to read this
All six were aggregators republishing the same filing. They weren't six separate stories. Four came down outright and we outranked the other two, which is why the result has held on every check since.
The problem
Six results on page one, every one of them the bankruptcy. A credit report forgets this faster than Google does, and a founder raising a next round runs straight into it in every diligence search an investor bothers to run.
What we did
All six were legal aggregators republishing the filing. We filed against the ones with a route and removed four outright, and for the two that stayed we built accurate current material about the work the founder does now.
Where it landed
Six to zero in three months. It's held across repeat checks since. The filing is still public where it always was, but it's just not the first thing anyone reads.
What does your situation need?
Every engagement starts from its own point and has its own scope, so these results belong to this one engagement and don't promise your case will run on the same timeline. See how we help justice-impacted people if you want to see the options, or pick the specific service below.
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. We removed them where eligible and outranked them 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 We do not publish a number we cannot show you the source of.
