Situation Analysis
A notable figure in the New York financial sector faced a barrage of negative online press, which was amplified by the sensational nature of search algorithms. Full Stack Clarity was tasked with managing the online reputation of this executive, who was also a prospective political candidate.
The Challenge
The client’s high-profile status attracted intense scrutiny, resulting in negative coverage from top-tier publications like the New York Times and Bloomberg. This negative press was further fueled by political bloggers and activists, creating a skewed online narrative.

Solution Set
Sentiment Analysis and SEO Strategy

- SEO Implementation: Developed an SEO strategy to demote negative articles from the first two pages
of search results.
Content Creation and Knowledge Panel Optimization
- Notability Engineering: Enhanced the client’s notability by creating newsworthy stories and leveraging media relationships for article publication, including a feature in Forbes.
- Wikipedia Development: Constructed a factual and verifiable Wikipedia page using the newly generated content as references.

Outcome
- Search Result Transformation: The negative articles from Bloomberg and the New York Times were significantly suppressed, with their visibility reduced to under 1%.
- Knowledge Panel Success: Successfully established a Knowledge Panel, dominating the client’s search results with accurate information.
- Digital Footprint Control: Increased control over the first page of search results from 10% to 60%, replacing negative imagery with a curated image carousel.
