How Long Does It Take to Push Down Negative Content About Me in Google Search?

Why is negative content about me still showing on Google? 

Finding negative or misleading content about yourself or your business on Google can be alarming. Whether it’s outdated news, a bad review, or an unfair attack, seeing it linger on page one can feel like a never-ending problem. Many people assume they can simply request removal, but in reality, Google doesn’t just delete content because it’s inconvenient. Instead, search engines prioritize content based on authority, relevance, and engagement—meaning negative results often hold their ground longer than expected.

How is negative content hurting my reputation and opportunities? 

When someone Googles your name or business, their first impression is shaped by the results. If negativity dominates the first page, potential clients, employers, or partners may lose trust before even engaging with you. This can lead to lost opportunities, damaged credibility, and a constant feeling of powerlessness. Worse still, trying to ‘bury’ bad press with generic content often backfires, wasting time and resources without meaningful results.

There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline, but we typically see substantial progress within 90 days at Kalicube. The time frame depends on factors like the authority of the negative content, the strength of your existing digital presence, and how well your online assets are optimized.
