Your Credentials Speak. Your Search Results Should Too.
One outdated record or a handful of harsh reviews shouldn't decide whether a patient books, a client retains, or a board hires. We rebuild what search engines show — accurately.
The search results problem for professionals
Licensed professionals are held to a different standard than everyone else — one search decides whether a patient books the appointment, a client signs the retainer, or an employer moves forward. And the search results often don't tell your actual story:
- Physicians — a resolved board action or a cluster of negative reviews can dominate results even with hundreds of satisfied patients
- Attorneys — an old disciplinary complaint or a client dispute can outrank a spotless practice record
- Executives — one news cycle from a past role can follow you into every subsequent hiring and partnership conversation
What we do — and what we won't
We publish accurate, positive professional content: profiles on professional platforms, articles about your real work and credentials, and citations across our publishing network. Each piece competes for the queries your patients, clients, and counterparties actually search.
Built for the people deciding about you
- Patients checking a physician before the first appointment
- General counsel vetting outside counsel
- Search committees and investors doing diligence on an executive
- Medical staff offices and credentialing committees

What a hiring manager actually sees
When a recruiter searches your name, the first page of results shapes their impression. One negative review or outdated article can overshadow everything else.
- A single bad entry can dominate the search view, making it hard for positive information to be seen.
The professional-profile layer
Building accurate profiles on platforms like LinkedIn and publishing content about your real work enhances your online presence. This is a legitimate way to represent yourself professionally, not an attempt at manipulation or deceit.
Reputation for firms vs individuals
For law firms, the names of partners and associates matter as much as the firm's page. The same approach applies: creating a strong professional profile and ensuring positive content ranks highly in search results.
How CleanSlate plans fit this
Every plan starts with the same free scan and plain-English report. From there, plans scale by how much positive content gets built and how closely your results are tracked. See the plans and compare what each one includes — monitoring, content generation, professional profiles, and monthly position tracking.
What a hiring manager actually sees
When a hiring manager searches for your name online, they're looking to form a quick impression of who you are and what value you might bring to their team. The first page of search results is crucial because it's where the majority of recruiters will stop their search.
- The moment someone types your name into Google or another search engine, negative reviews or outdated articles can overshadow all other information about you.
- Search engines prioritize recent and relevant content, which means that newer positive updates to your online profile can push older, irrelevant items down the rankings over time. Our service helps by creating accurate professional profiles on reputable sites and platforms like LinkedIn and industry-specific networks, ensuring a consistent and current portrayal of who you are.
Each piece of information found during this brief search process contributes to the hiring manager's perception of your credibility, expertise, and overall fit for the role. This is why it’s important to have an accurate representation that highlights your professional achievements and positive contributions.
The professional-profile layer
Building a strong professional profile on platforms like LinkedIn or industry-specific networks can significantly influence how you are perceived online. These profiles serve as official biographies that recruiters and colleagues use to understand your background, skills, and recent activity.
- We help create these profiles with accurate details such as work history, education, certifications, and professional affiliations. This information is updated regularly based on the latest accomplishments and career moves.
- By focusing on publishing high-quality content that reflects your expertise—such as articles, case studies, or blog posts—you not only establish yourself as a thought leader but also ensure that search engines favor this type of recent, relevant material over older, less pertinent information.
A well-maintained professional profile is essential because it provides potential employers and peers with an up-to-date snapshot of your capabilities and accomplishments. This isn't about manipulation; rather, it's about presenting the most accurate picture of who you are professionally, which can significantly impact career opportunities.
Reputation for firms vs individuals
Managing an online reputation is equally important whether you're a solo professional or part of a law firm. For individuals in the legal profession, personal names often come up alongside references to specific cases or past roles that may no longer reflect their current standing.
- We help individual attorneys by creating and maintaining accurate profiles on platforms like LinkedIn and Avvo, ensuring these reflect recent work history and professional achievements rather than outdated information.
- For firms, we address both partner and associate names, as well as the firm's main page. The process involves establishing a strong online presence through relevant content that highlights the firm’s current services, expertise, and client successes, thereby pushing less favorable or irrelevant information down in search results.
The same principles apply: accurate representation is key. Whether you're an individual attorney looking to highlight your recent cases or a law firm seeking to showcase its modern approach and team members, the goal is to ensure that current, positive information dominates when people search online.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with employers or credentialing committees?
No — we work for the professional whose name is being searched. Our reports are for you and the people you authorize to see them.
Can you help before I apply for a license or a hospital position?
Yes — the best time to start is before the application, because credentialing committees search. We have worked with clients preparing for licensing applications, hospital privileges, and senior hires.
What does the free scan include?
A search of the open web for your name, a federal court docket check, and a plain-English report of every red flag found. No account or payment required.
Does this look fake to my industry?
It won't appear fake as long as the content is genuine and reflects your real experiences. Our service helps you present a professional image that aligns with how people in your field expect professionals to behave online.
I have a common name — does that help or hurt?
A common name can make it harder for positive information to rise above the noise, but our service helps you create content that accurately represents who you are and what you do. This is particularly useful when there's lots of unrelated content out there.
How is this different from PR?
Public relations typically involves managing media coverage and communications with the public. Our service focuses on enhancing your online presence through professional profiles and positive content, rather than traditional PR activities like press releases or media engagement.
Does this look fake to my industry?
The content we generate for your professional profiles is designed to be genuine and relevant. It includes accurate details about your work experience, education, publications, and other legitimate achievements. Industry professionals can easily verify the information you provide through official sources or direct connections.
I have a common name — does that help or hurt?
Having a common name presents both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, it may be harder to stand out amidst numerous results. However, this also means there's more room for improvement by adding accurate, relevant content about your professional achievements. By focusing on quality over quantity, you can build a stronger online presence that reflects your unique background.
How is this different from PR?
While public relations (PR) aims to manage the flow of information and media coverage for businesses or individuals, our approach focuses specifically on search engine optimization (SEO) techniques. We work on improving online visibility through accurate professional profiles and relevant content that aligns with your career goals, rather than trying to control press releases or news articles.
