Getting Started

Getting Started & What to Expect

What a first conversation looks like, how fees typically work, and a realistic sense of timelines.

First Step

A Short Conversation, Not a Sales Call

The best way to start is a short conversation about what's actually happening: what platform the content is on, what it says, how long it's been up, what you've already tried (if anything), and what outcome you're hoping for. From there I can give you an honest assessment — including telling you if I don't think there's much that can realistically be done, which happens more often than people expect.

Fees

How Engagements Typically Work

Fees depend heavily on scope: a single-platform removal request looks very different from an ongoing search suppression campaign or an expert witness engagement in active litigation. Simple documentation and platform removal requests are often handled as a flat-fee engagement; larger reputation and suppression work is typically scoped and quoted after the initial conversation; expert witness work is billed on an hourly basis consistent with standard expert engagement practice.

Timelines

What's Realistic and What Isn't

Some platform removals happen within days once a proper report is filed. Search suppression is a longer game — meaningful movement typically takes weeks to a few months, not overnight, because it depends on new, legitimate content earning its own visibility rather than simply demanding that a search engine remove something. Legal processes, including John Doe subpoenas and any resulting litigation, run on their own timeline, generally measured in months.

Anyone who promises an overnight fix for search suppression, or a guaranteed removal regardless of the platform's own policies, is setting an expectation I can't responsibly match. I'd rather tell you the realistic range upfront.
