    Usually investors/VC’s bring in specialist ORM+PR companies to manage this. Its not just about outranking in desktop/all search but news too. And that means a constant production line of content

    >timeline is measured in months not weeks

    You can drown a page in weeks/a few months – its news thats the hardest

    >the negative article has genuine engagement (200+ comments, shared across twitter/linkedin, cited by other articles)

    Google deosnt care (good news) but if staff keep Googling it, it re-enforces the CTR

    >its on medium which has stupid high DA

    It is but the page doesn’t share the domain name’s “DA” – you just have to have more TopialAuthority.DA for the person’s name

    >what ive been considering:

    Its a good list -abutally I’ll give you 7/10 on this front but you’re really 40% there.

    Here’s some things to add

    * Multiple domains
    * Not just videos + socials – you need YouTube ACCOUNTS
    * Actually if you search my handle – you;ll get an idea
    * But you’re missing a PR agency effect

    > build actual E-E-A-T signals. timeline probably 6+ months though

    There are no EEAT signals – even with 200 searches a month, 1) they’re not a Google known entity – and if they are you need schema) and 2) EEAT doesnt work that way at all

    to partner with any third party reputation management service that basically does #1 and #2 at scale. Some quoted 4-6 months and $15k
