About
A quiet advisory for a loud internet.
Neumann Paige works with individuals and organizations whose careers, licenses, businesses, or reputations can be affected by what appears online — in search and in AI-generated answers.
Who we are
Independent. Discreet. Senior.
Neumann Paige is a small, senior advisory practice focused on a single question: what do search engines and AI platforms currently say about you, and what should they say instead?
We are not an agency in the traditional sense. We do not sell subscriptions or measure our work in press releases. Every engagement is led by a principal who owns the strategy and the outcome from the first conversation forward.

Founder and President, Neumann Paige
John Gottschall founded Neumann Paige after more than two decades in online reputation management. His career has centered on the quiet work of shaping how professionals appear in search results and, more recently, in the answers generated by AI platforms.
Over that time he has advised attorneys, physicians, financial professionals, executives, public figures, and other professionals whose livelihoods depend on how they are perceived online. The engagements are rarely alike; the discipline is.
His work spans search-result suppression, original content development, earned media placement, digital asset creation, and broader search visibility strategy — the combination of tactics required to move first-page results and to give AI systems better material to summarize.
Neumann Paige is based in the Philadelphia area and serves clients nationally.
What we believe
Reputation is now shaped by two audiences at once.
The first audience is human: someone typing a name into Google, checking a Bing knowledge panel, reading a news result, or clicking through to an old court record. The second audience is a language model — ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, Perplexity — reading the same web and writing its own summary in response to a question.
Both audiences reach conclusions in seconds. Both are shaped by the same underlying material. And both increasingly overlap: AI answers now appear inside search itself, and search results now train the models that produce those answers.
Treating them separately is a mistake. We address them together.
How we work
A short list of principles we do not break.
- Confidentiality first
- Every conversation, document, and outcome remains between us and the client. Nothing is ever used as promotional material.
- Senior attention
- The person you speak with in the first call is the person responsible for your engagement — not an account manager two steps removed from the work.
- Realistic expectations
- We describe what is likely, what is possible, and what is not, before an engagement begins. Guarantees on search rankings are not real, and we do not offer them.
- Ethical methods only
- We do not fabricate content, impersonate anyone, or use tactics that violate platform terms. Everything we do is defensible in daylight.
Who we help
Careers where visibility carries consequence.
Our clients are physicians, attorneys, financial and wealth-management professionals, accountants, educators, law-enforcement leaders, executives, board members, and public figures. They are institutions with a board member under public scrutiny, and firms whose partners are being researched by prospective clients before a first meeting.
What they share is exposure: their livelihoods depend on how they are perceived, and the perception is now formed on a search results page or in an AI response — often before a phone call is placed.
- Confidential intake and situation review
- Comprehensive audit across search engines and AI platforms
- A written strategy specific to your situation — not a template
- Direct execution by the same senior team, with monthly reporting
