My firm has specialized in SEO for 22 years, and for a few years now one of our largest and ongoing jobs has been just such work for a celebrity CEO.<br>

<li>The core of "Reputation Management" is SEO because search engine results are usually most damaging and
<i>enduring</i>. Sure, social posting and other public replies help, but Google and Bing listings often persist for months and years. <br>
</li><li>The cost of success in suppressing damaging search engine results varies enormously depending on the accumulated value ("PageRank") of pages ranking well for important searches. UC Davis, for example, famously paid $170,000 to suppress search results showing
police pepper-spraying protesting students, and got zero results, absolutely nil (Reported in Time Magazine). That publicity (total PageRank) would have required millions of dollars to countervail.<br>
</li><li>Even the easiest such jobs will run north of $5000. </li><li>If legal action for take-down orders is viable, that is often more cost-effective.</li><li>There's a small chance the the EU's "Right to be Forgotten" laws will soon require Google and and other search engines to exclude US results, but don't count on it. US laws are very unlikely to follow the EU because, emerging from the drive to keep freed
slaves down, our system aims to jail and otherwise damage lower and now middle class people as much as possible for as long as possible. </li></ul>

In a ~20 minute talk, I can give a general sense of costs, but ultimately one has to assess the SEO strength of the offending web pages in order to budget for success. One takes it in stages because results of the first round of work clarify how much more will
be needed.
