About Link Removal from Search

We have been removing harmful content from the internet since 2001. We get material deleted at its source and cleared from Google, Bing and AI answers — for people who have usually already tried the free routes and been turned down. One flat fee, payable only once the content is gone, and we tell you before you commit if we think your case will fail.

What we actually do

Removal at the source, not just a hidden search result

Most people arrive believing there is one job to be done. There are two, and the difference decides whether the problem is solved or merely postponed.

1
Source removalThe page, image or video is deleted from the website that hosts it. When that happens the content is gone everywhere at once — Google, Bing, other search engines, AI answers, and anyone who has the direct link. This is always what we pursue first, because it is the only outcome that is genuinely permanent.
2
DelistingThe content stays online but stops appearing in search results, either entirely or for searches of your name. This is the fallback when a host will not cooperate. It is worth having — most people only ever encounter you through search — but the file is still live, and we will always say so rather than let you believe otherwise.

A great deal of what is sold as “removal” in this industry is only ever the second one. If a provider does not draw this distinction for you, ask them which of the two they are actually doing.

How we work

Four steps, and you decide at each one

1

Free assessment

You send the link and a short description. We identify which removal ground genuinely applies — copyright, privacy, defamation, impersonation, harassment, data protection — and whether it is likely to succeed. This is where we tell you if the answer is no, or if you can do it yourself for nothing.

2

A fixed quote before anything starts

One flat fee for the case, agreed in writing. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no charges added later. You approve the plan and the price before we act.

3

We file and escalate

We pursue the host, the platform and, where they ignore well-founded complaints, the hosting provider’s abuse desk — the step most attempts stop short of. In parallel we deal with the search side: web results, image results, cached copies and AI answers each need clearing separately.

4

You pay once it is gone

Invoiced on results. If we do not achieve removal within the agreed window, you owe nothing. We then watch for the content reappearing, because mirrors and reuploads are the most common reason a “finished” case comes back.

Where we draw the line

What we will not do

Content removal has a genuine scam problem, and the firms causing it share a habit: they promise that anything can be removed. We would rather be the ones who tell you the truth and lose the job.

×
We do not suppress accurate journalismGenuine reporting carries a strong public-interest presumption, and rightly so. Age, factual inaccuracy and data-protection rights are real arguments; “this article is inconvenient” is not one, and we will not pretend it is.
×
We do not remove honest criticismClearly labelled opinion, satire and genuine customer reviews are not removable on any platform, however damaging they feel. Where there is no policy or legal hook, we say so at the assessment rather than taking a fee for a filing we expect to fail.
×
We do not file claims we cannot supportCopyright complaints on footage you do not own, or defamation claims about statements that are true, expose you to counter-notices and worse. We use the ground that actually fits your case, or none.
×
We never ask for your passwordsNo provider needs access to your email or social accounts to file a takedown, and you should refuse anyone who asks. Everything we do runs through official platform and legal channels on your instruction.
×
We do not act against people who have not asked us toWe work for the person the content is about. We decline requests to remove material concerning someone else where the requester has no standing to make them.
Who we help

The situations people bring us

Almost everyone who contacts us has already tried the obvious route and been refused. That is the normal starting point, not a sign your case is hopeless — most failed attempts were simply filed under the wrong ground.

Someone posted a video or photo of meFootage or images published without consent, by an ex-partner, a former colleague, or a stranger. See YouTube video removal and Google Images removal.
Intimate images and sextortionThe most urgent category we handle, and the one platforms act on fastest. Do not pay a blackmailer. See stopping sextortion and removing intimate images.
A false or defamatory articleClaims presented as fact that are demonstrably untrue, on blogs, forums or complaint sites. See defamatory article removal.
Mugshots and old recordsArrest photographs and court material that outlive the case — including charges that were dropped or never brought. See mugshot removal.
Personal data and doxxingHome addresses, phone numbers, identity documents and family details exposed on people-search sites. See personal information removal.
Deepfakes and AI-generated contentSynthetic video and audio using a real face or voice — now handled through platforms’ privacy processes rather than copyright. See deepfake removal.
Content persisting in AI answersMaterial that survives in ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity after the search result is gone. See AI search removal.
Right to be forgottenData-protection delisting for UK and EU residents, judged on public role, age and sensitivity. See right to be forgotten under GDPR.
Discretion

How we handle sensitive cases

Most of what we deal with is material people have not told their family about. That shapes how we work.

Nothing is published about your caseWe do not name clients, and we do not use cases as examples without written permission. A signed NDA is available on request before you tell us anything.
We are honest about what the other side seesSome processes notify the uploader that a complaint exists, and copyright notices name the claimant. Where anonymity matters more to you than speed, that changes which route we recommend — so tell us at the assessment and we will plan around it.
We flag amplification risk before you commitDrawing attention to contested, newsworthy material can occasionally make it more visible. That risk is low for the private content that makes up most of our work, but where we think it is real we say so first.
Payment leaves you a recordFees are taken through PayPal rather than direct transfer, so you have an independent record and route of recourse. Nothing is payable until the content is gone.
A deliberate absence

Why you will not find client names or testimonials here

Every other page in this industry leads with quotes and logos. Ours does not, and that is a choice rather than an oversight — so it is worth explaining, because we know how it can look.

Naming a client would undo the workPeople come to us about intimate images, blackmail, arrest records and false allegations. Publishing “we helped X remove Y” would put the very association they paid us to erase back onto the open web, permanently and in our own words. A removal firm that advertises with client names has not understood what it sells.
Anonymised case studies are unverifiable anyway“A senior executive in the north of England” proves nothing, and everyone in this market knows it. We would rather give you facts you can check — the exact removal grounds we use, the real timelines, the categories we refuse — than a paragraph you have no way to test.
Judge us on the terms insteadYou pay nothing until the content is gone. You get a fixed price in writing before we start. We tell you at the assessment if we think your case will fail. Those commitments cost us money when we are wrong, which is a harder thing to fake than a testimonial.
The same protection applies to youWhatever you tell us stays between us. We will not use your case as an example, in marketing or in conversation, now or later — and an NDA is available before you tell us anything at all.
Where we are

London-based since 2001, working internationally

Our office is on Upper Bank Street, London, and we have been doing this work since 2001 — through the arrival of the right to be forgotten, the rise of people-search sites, and now synthetic media. Removal filings are decided by platform and search-engine teams rather than by anyone local, so where we sit does not affect the outcome. The law that governs your case very much does.

Being in the UK means we work daily with UK GDPR and the right to be forgotten, which are among the strongest content-removal rights available anywhere and are routinely overlooked by providers based outside them. Clients in the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are handled under whichever framework actually applies to their situation — see the UK position and how it differs in the United States.
