Reverse Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a technique used in online reputation management to suppress negative results on Google Search and other search engines.
Reverse SEO involves using regular Search Engine Optimization techniques on web pages ranking (directly) underneath a negative search result. Doing normal, white-hat SEO on for web pages appearing under a negative result will improve the search rankings of those web pages, causing them to move above the negative result and thereby displacing the negative item from the first page and suppressing it far back on SERPs so that (virtually) nobody searching the name of your business will see it.
