What we remove · Six categories
Links that follow a name around, and the routes that remove them.
Every URL is different. A news article, a forum thread and a people-search listing are removed by different mechanisms on different timescales, and each is assessed before we quote.
News articles
Regional and national press, trade titles, syndicated wire copy and archived versions.
Forum and social threads
Reddit, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Quora and niche community boards.
Complaint and review sites
Ripoff Report, Trustpilot, Glassdoor, Yelp and similar listings that violate platform rules.
Personal-data pages
People-search aggregators, address and phone directories, leaked-document indexes.
Legal and court listings
Third-party republication of judgments, notices and filings where delisting is lawful.
Images and cached copies
Google Images results, cached pages and mirror copies that survive an original takedown.
By platform
Or go straight to the one you are dealing with.
Each of these covers the platform's own removal mechanism: the policy that applies, the request that works, and where it usually fails.
-
Remove a Reddit post from Google
A Reddit thread naming you can outrank everything else you have ever done. It is also one of the few places where the removal mechanism is written down and works.
-
Remove a Glassdoor review from Google
Glassdoor defends its reviews hard and publishes the grounds on which it will take one down. Those grounds are narrower than most people think and wider than most firms bother to use.
-
Remove a Ripoff Report listing from Google
Ripoff Report states that it never removes a report. That is true of the report; it is not true of the Google result, and the distinction is the whole job.
-
Remove a Trustpilot review from Google
Trustpilot removes more reviews than any comparable platform, because it polices its own guidelines and requires reviewers to evidence a genuine experience.
-
Remove a people-search listing from Google
Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages and the rest publish your address beside your age and your relatives. This is the category with the clearest legal route and the highest success rate — and the one that reappears most often, which is what the twelve months of monitoring are for.
-
Remove a mugshot from Google
Mugshot sites republish an arrest photograph regardless of what happened next, then rank it for your name. Charges dropped, case dismissed, conviction spent: the page does not change and the search result does not care.
-
Remove a news article from Google
The hardest category, and the one where the argument matters more than the pressure. A publisher responds to what has changed since it published; it does not respond to being shouted at.
-
Remove a photograph from Google Images
An image result outlives the page it came from, and it is the one people forget to check after everything else has gone.
-
Remove a cached page from Google
The page is down, the result is still there, and the snippet still says what it always said. That gap is a technical problem with a specific fix.
-
Remove a court record from Google
The court record stays. What comes down is the commercial site that copied it and now ranks above your name, years after the matter closed.
-
Remove an X post from Google
A post on X ranks for a name within hours and can stay indexed long after it is deleted.
-
Remove a LinkedIn post from Google
LinkedIn content ranks unusually well for a professional name, which is useful until the post is about you rather than by you.
