We’re facing a litigation-related reputation attack. Can you help?

Quick answer

Yes - litigation-adjacent reputation work is one of our most common engagements. We coordinate every public-facing decision with your counsel and focus on the layers that work without public statements: entity strengthening, authoritative content on owned properties, source-level correction requests on factual errors, compliant Wikipedia work, and continuous search and AI monitoring.

Yes. Litigation-adjacent reputation work is one of our most common engagements. The situation usually looks the same: a company or individual is named in a matter that draws public coverage, counsel is restrictive on public statements, and the search results and AI engines keep absorbing the contested version of events while the legal process runs.

Counsel runs point on this work. We coordinate every public-facing decision, communications, content, and timing, with your legal team, and we concentrate on the layers that move the record without any public statement about the matter itself.

What we do while the matter is active

  • Strengthen the entity. We build and reinforce the connected web of references, profiles, structured data, and authoritative mentions, that identifies you to Google and the AI engines, so the platforms attach the right facts to the right entity instead of defaulting to the contested coverage.
  • Publish authoritative content on owned properties. Content about the broader operating record, on properties you control, gives the search and AI engines accurate, well-sourced material to draw on, without commenting on the litigation.
  • Request source-level corrections on factual errors. Where coverage contains documented factual mistakes, we pursue corrections through the outlets’ own published corrections processes, properly sourced, not spin, and not touching the merits of the case.
  • Handle Wikipedia the compliant way. Any Wikipedia work follows the disclosed conflict-of-interest rules: we propose changes on the article’s Talk page via edit requests for independent editors to review, with the paid relationship disclosed, rather than editing the article directly.
  • Monitor continuously. IMPACT™ tracks the Google results and AIQ tracks the eight major AI engines: ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode, so shifts in the narrative surface quickly and counsel always sees which version of the story is winning.

The infrastructure built during the matter is what stakeholders see for years afterward, so the active period is when getting it right counts most.
