How Our Reddit Removal Service Helped a Health Brand Remove 8 Threads

Introduction

Managing your brand’s online reputation is essential, especially when harmful content surfaces in public forums like Reddit. In this case study, we explore how Media Removal’s Reddit removal service successfully helped a health-focused DTC brand, Remi, remove eight damaging Reddit threads from Google’s top search results. These threads were critically affecting the brand’s trust and customer acquisition efforts.

Facing severe backlash across multiple Reddit communities, the brand’s reputation was at risk, as threads criticizing product quality, subscription policies, and customer service were ranking prominently in Google search results. Read on to discover how we handled the situation step by step and achieved a successful outcome.

Client Challenge: 8 Reddit Threads Across Multiple Communities

Remi, a health-focused direct-to-consumer (DTC) brand, faced significant online reputation challenges. The company was dealing with eight individual threads across two major health-related subreddits. These threads were highly indexed by Google and prominently displayed in search results when users searched for branded keywords.

The threads included complaints about:

• Product quality
• Subscription policies
• Customer service

These issues were discussed extensively, leading to long, engaging conversations, and included branded search terms that were tied directly to the company. These Reddit threads were indexed on the first page of Google, damaging Remi’s brand trust and hindering customer acquisition efforts.

Our Reddit Removal Service Strategy

At Media Removal, we developed a comprehensive strategy to remove harmful Reddit content while ensuring compliance with Reddit’s internal guidelines. Our approach was tailored to the unique nature of Reddit’s platform and the health industry’s needs.

Step 1: In-Depth Audit

We started with a full audit of all Reddit threads and their indexed Google URLs. This step helped us understand the scope of the issue and identify which URLs were ranking in search results. We also mapped out keywords related to the brand that were being targeted in these discussions.

Step 2: Reddit Admin Escalation

Instead of contacting subreddit moderators, we escalated each thread directly to Reddit Admins, using platform-compliant takedown documentation. This ensured that our actions were in full compliance with Reddit’s content removal guidelines, minimizing the risk of further exposure or backlash.

We provided clear evidence of rule violations, privacy issues, and misuse of the platform to support our takedown requests.

Step 3: Google Deindexing Requests

Once the threads were successfully removed from Reddit, we initiated Google deindexing requests for each of the URLs associated with the harmful content. This ensured that the threads would no longer appear in search results, protecting the brand’s reputation.

Step 4: Suppression and ORM

To further mitigate the damage, we implemented a suppression content strategy. By creating and promoting positive content, we helped fill the gap in search results, ensuring that the brand’s positive image regained its prominence in Google’s search results.

Results Achieved: Full Control Over Online Reputation

Our Reddit removal service delivered impressive results for Remi, ensuring that they regained control over their online presence.

• All 8 Reddit threads were removed and deindexed from Google
• The brand’s name no longer appears in association with negative Reddit content
• Reddit search visibility for damaging keywords was reduced to zero
• Brand trust was restored and control over page 1 search results was regained

By executing our strategy through Reddit Admin channels, we ensured the brand’s reputation was protected without creating additional exposure or stirring up further controversy.
