infographic: successful negative seo case studySome of our clients are more visually-oriented, and so we have put together an infographic, based upon a real-life case study, which illustrates the effectiveness of negative SEO services we supply to our clients for the purpose of online reputation management, search engine ranking, and to help them prosper in their business.

Quick Summary

  • Negative SEO Works: This real-world case study shows how targeted negative SEO efforts successfully reduced search rankings over time — proving that harmful links and content can damage even well-optimized sites.
  • Positive SEO Isn’t Always Enough: The site had strong on-page SEO, quality content, videos, social signals, and premium hosting — yet still lost ground due to external negative factors.
  • Harmful Links Have Real Impact: Toxic backlinks from low-quality or malicious domains can undermine months of legitimate SEO work — especially if left unchecked.
  • Results Take Time: Like traditional SEO, negative SEO isn’t instant. It often requires ongoing campaigns — weekly or monthly — to influence rankings significantly.
  • ️ Reputation Management Is Critical: If damaging content or backlinks are affecting your brand or personal reputation online, proactive ORM strategies are essential to protect your digital presence.
  • ️‍Monitoring Matters: Regularly audit your backlink profile and online mentions. Early detection is key to preventing long-term damage to your website’s visibility.
  • We Can Help: If your business or personal brand is under attack online, we offer expert negative SEO protection and reputation management services tailored to your needs.

This test was done on one of our own sites, which we ranked for a few keywords related to the travel industry. We’d ranked the site for several months prior by using a mix of brand and keyword related links.

The site had approximately 5,000 words of well-written text, proper onpage SEO, a couple YouTube videos linking back to the homepage, social signals, a premium theme and hosting…everything someone would normally have in place on a regular website.

You can clearly see how, over time, the effects of the links built decreased the website’s ranking in the search engine results.

Like positive SEO, negative SEO does take time to see results–sometimes it is a one-shot deal like the one illustrated below, but often it requires a bi-weekly or monthly campaign.

If your reputation is at stake, and you are tired of having damaging personal information online about you or your business, order right now and let us help you repair your image and regain your dignity.
