When the search results turned hostile, we rewrote the story.

A category-leading online therapy platform was facing damaging press that had settled into the top of its branded search results. It needed to rebuild trust through earned editorial authority, not spin. So that is what we built.

// The challenge

Mapping the damage.

Negative press had taken hold in the top search results for branded queries. With no sustained editorial presence to counter it, the brand had little to push back with, and audience trust took a measurable hit, especially among prospective new users deciding whether to sign up.

// Our approach

Rebuilding through editorial.

We designed a sustained reputation campaign, not a scramble to bury links, built around three pillars that create genuine, durable credibility.

Pillar 01

Founder thought leadership

Op-eds and commentary from leadership in health and wellness publications, on the issues the category actually cares about.

Pillar 02

Expert quote placements

The brand’s experts quoted inside credible editorial coverage, positioned as trusted voices rather than advertisers.

Pillar 03

Natural positioning

The platform placed as a clinically credible option within medical and wellness roundups, in context, never forced.

// The results

The shift.

Over a six-month campaign, 20+ editorial placements displaced the negative search results and the brand regained page-one narrative control. Executive profiles were established as credible, trusted voices in the mental-health space, the kind of presence that keeps working long after the campaign ends.
