How do you manage reputation for a property with negative press history?

A property with a negative press history carries a record that ranks long after the underlying issue is resolved, because old coverage does not expire and AI engines treat it as available source material. The work is to make the present more visible and authoritative than the past.

How the present outweighs the past

1. Publish current, authoritative content. We build factual content covering recent improvements, renovations, new management, resolved issues, current performance, so that Google and the AI engines have fresh, accurate material to weight against the stale negative coverage.
2. Refresh the entity signals. The canonical facts get updated so they reflect the property as it is now, not as it was when the incident broke.
3. Correct wrong coverage at the source. Where the old coverage is factually wrong rather than merely unflattering, we pursue source-level corrections with the outlets.
4. Monitor AI answers for lag. We track AI engine answers with AIQ, because a model that still leads with a years-old incident is doing damage the property has already earned its way past, and that lag is exactly what the monitoring catches.
