Why Clean Traces

What makes us different

Most ORM firms offer the same generic playbook. Clean Traces operates differently — with the technology, discretion and specialist expertise your situation demands.

🤖

AI-powered, human-verified

Our assistant responds to enquiries — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every case is then reviewed by a human reputation specialist before any work begins. Speed and precision, together.

🔒

Absolute discretion — always

We never disclose client identities, never discuss cases publicly, and operate through secured private channels. Many of our clients engage us without their own staff or partners being aware. Your reputation stays yours.

Results in 24–72 hours

For policy-violating content, our removal process begins immediately upon engagement. Most clients see confirmed removals within 24–72 hours. We keep you updated in real time at every stage — no waiting in the dark.

🌐

Every platform, one team

Google, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, dark web — most ORM firms handle 2 or 3 platforms. We cover the entire digital landscape where your reputation lives, from social media to the deep web.

📊

Honest assessment first

We will never take your money for something we cannot deliver. Before any engagement begins, we provide an honest, no-obligation assessment of what can be removed, suppressed, or countered — and the realistic timeline for each.

Industry Expertise

We speak your industry's language

Specialised knowledge of the platforms, regulations, and reputational risks specific to each sector. We've worked across all four — and beyond.

🏨

Hospitality

One bad TripAdvisor or Google review can cost a hotel six bookings per month. In hospitality, your star rating is your revenue. We assess policy-violating reviews for possible removal, help address fake competitor attacks through evidence-led reporting, and support your rating — so guests see your best side before they ever arrive.

TripAdvisor review assessment
⚖️

Legal

One false claim online can confuse hundreds of potential clients and derail years of professional credibility. Law firms and individual practitioners operate in a high-trust environment where reputation is everything. We assess defamatory or harmful content and advise on available options, work to identify anonymous posters where possible, and help suppress damaging search results before they become career-defining — for the wrong reasons.

reputation management for lawyers
💼

Finance

In a volatile economy, investor and client confidence depends entirely on what Google says about your firm. A single negative article or disgruntled review can override years of sound results. We suppress negative financial coverage, manage review platforms, and ensure that when clients and investors search your name, they see credibility — not controversy.

Real Estate

Buyers and sellers research agents extensively before making contact. A competitor's smear campaign or a disgruntled client's fake review can shut down your pipeline overnight. We help address coordinated fake review attacks through evidence-led reporting and reputation recovery, working to restore your ratings across Google and property portals, and present the best version of your agency to every prospective client searching online.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Can you remove any review?
Not all reviews qualify — only those that violate platform policies such as fake accounts, spam, defamation, or competitor attacks. We provide an honest assessment of your options before any engagement begins — removal, suppression, or rebuilding. No false promises.
How long does content removal take?
Policy-violating reviews are typically removed within 24–72 hours. Cases requiring escalation take 3–7 days. SEO suppression strategies take 30–90 days to fully materialise in search results.
Is the process completely confidential?
Yes — 100%. We never disclose client names, never discuss cases publicly, and all communications are through secured private channels. Many clients engage us without their own staff being aware.
Which platforms can you remove content from?
Google Reviews, Google SERPs, Trustpilot, TripAdvisor, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, Yelp, news articles, blogs, forums, and dark web content. If it's harming you, we can assess it.
Do you offer pay-on-results pricing?
For certain removal cases, yes. We discuss pricing models that align our incentives with your outcome — one-time removal, monthly retainer, or results-based. Contact us to discuss what fits your situation.
What if content cannot be removed?
Suppression is the next best option. By consistently publishing optimised positive content on high-authority platforms, we push negative results off page one — where 94% of people never look. Most will never find it again.
How does the website assistant handle my enquiry?
The assistant collects your details, answers FAQ questions, and guides you toward a confidential assessment by the Clean Traces team. automatically. A human specialist reviews every case before any work begins.
Do you handle personal as well as business reputation?
Yes. We work with executives, professionals, public figures, and private individuals who need personal reputation protection, anonymous poster identification, and private information removal from Google and the dark web.
