A false thread about a founder
A Reddit thread calling a founder or a company a fraud, raised by prospects on sales calls. We have seen one deter leads for a payments founder until it came down.

The Dallas Regional Chamber counts 24 Fortune 500 companies based in the Dallas-Fort Worth region on the 2026 list, and 49 on the broader Fortune 1000. In a market built around headquarters, a candidate, an investor or a procurement team will search the company and the people who lead it before they commit. That is why executive reputation management carries so much weight here.
Reputation management in Dallas starts with knowing which results can come down and which cannot, and with avoiding moves that backfire, such as suing a critic under a strong anti-SLAPP law. The United States is one of the countries where we actively work, and we work with clients in Dallas and across Texas.

What we see ranking for Dallas executives and companies.
These situations often rank for leadership teams and growing companies.
Glassdoor reviews aimed at a leader
Fake or harassing employer reviews that name a CEO or a manager. Reviews that break Glassdoor’s rules can be reported and removed.
Repeated posts meant to harass
Someone posting about you again and again across social platforms to embarrass or torment you. Platforms remove it under their harassment rules, and in Texas it can also be a crime.
A home address posted online
An executive’s home address or phone number shared to invite threats. This breaks platform rules, and Texas makes it a misdemeanor when done with intent to cause harm.
Press coverage of a dispute
An article about a lawsuit, a layoff or a deal that went wrong, still ranking for your name. Publishers sometimes update or correct stories, and suppression handles what stays up.
AI answers about your leadership
ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews summarizing an executive from one old controversy instead of the full record.
Platforms where we protect reputations
The Texas rules that shape what can come down.
Federal law, such as Section 230, decides much of what platforms must do. Texas law decides what a lawsuit can achieve and what it can cost. This is general information, not legal advice. Media Removal is not a law firm, and for a decision about a lawsuit you should speak with a licensed Texas attorney.
A strong anti-SLAPP law
The Texas Citizens Participation Act lets a defendant move to dismiss a lawsuit based on their exercise of free speech, petition or association rights, generally within 60 days of being served, and discovery is suspended while the motion is pending. If the court dismisses the suit, it must award the defendant court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and may add sanctions. Some claims are excluded, including many commercial-speech claims. A lawsuit against a critic can end up costing the company. [1] [2]
Defamation is civil, not criminal
The Texas Penal Code has no criminal libel or slander offense, so a false statement that harms someone’s reputation is handled through a civil lawsuit. Texas treats statements that injure someone in their office, profession or occupation as typically defamatory per se, which matters for executives accused of misconduct. [3]
Repeated harassing posts can be a crime
Texas’s harassment statute makes it a crime, when done with intent to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment or embarrass, to publish repeated electronic communications on a website or social media platform likely to cause emotional distress, unless they relate to a matter of public concern. It is usually a Class B misdemeanor. [4]
Posting a home address to cause harm
It is a crime in Texas to post a person’s home address or telephone number on a publicly accessible website, with intent to cause harm or a threat of harm to that person or their family or household. The offense is a Class B misdemeanor, or a Class A misdemeanor if someone is physically injured as a result. [5]

Questions about reputation management in Dallas.
Cannot find what you are looking for? Send us your question and we answer within one business day.
Send your questionHow is reputation management priced for a company and its executives?
It depends on how many names are involved, the company and each leader, and how hard each result is to move. Your free assessment prices them one by one. Content removal is billed only when the URL is verified offline, with no retainer and no setup fee. For ongoing reputation management, the first month is contingent on the strategy we deliver in week one. If you do not see the path forward, you do not pay.
Do you need to be in Dallas to work with our company?
No. Platform reports, removal requests and suppression work happen online. Our main office is in New York City, and we work with companies and executives in Dallas and across Texas.
Should our company sue over a negative post?
Usually not as a first step. Under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, a defendant whose speech is protected can have the suit dismissed early, and the court must then award them costs and attorney’s fees. Most removals run through platform policies or publisher outreach, and for a lawsuit you should speak with a licensed Texas attorney.
Can you remove Glassdoor reviews about our leadership?
When they break Glassdoor’s rules, for example because they are fake, harassing or state false facts about a named person. Honest opinions from real employees usually stay up, and in that case we strengthen the accurate content around them.
How long until a thread about our founder stops showing up?
If the thread breaks a platform rule or the law, removal depends on how that platform reviews requests, so your assessment gives an estimate for that link. If it has to be suppressed, expect a process measured in months, because accurate pages need time to earn rankings above it.
Can this stay inside the leadership team?
Yes. Every client signs an NDA, and so do we.
