How to Bury Negative Reddit Posts That Are Hurting Your Brand

If your brand has a negative Reddit post ranking on Google for your brand name, it's costing you customers every single day. Here's how to deal with it.

Method 1: Outrank it with positive content

Create several new Reddit posts about your brand, each with dozens of positive comments under them. Keep creating these posts until they start ranking higher than the negative one.

Over time, the negative post gets pushed down in Google's search results until it's buried so deep that nobody will ever see it.

Google can only show 10 results on page one. If 5 of those are positive Reddit threads that you control, the negative one gets pushed to page two or beyond, where almost nobody looks.

This uses the same approach from the "How to Create a Reddit Post That Ranks on Google for Your Brand Name" article. Build 30-50+ comments on each post to maximize the chance of ranking. The more positive Reddit threads you create, the more you dominate the search results for your brand name.

Method 2: Get negative posts removed

There is also a way to get negative Reddit posts and comments removed entirely. Engain has a team of professionals who focus specifically on Reddit removals. We have a background in the ORM (online reputation management) space and have done this for hundreds of clients.

This requires deep expertise in Reddit's systems, reporting mechanisms, and content policies. It's not something most companies can do. Reach out to Engain's team for pricing on removal services.
