The Problem

One harmful URL on Google can quietly cost you more than you realise.

Before a client signs, an investor wires the funds, a partner introduces you, a date opens an app — they Google you first. A single defamatory article, leaked document, fake review or outdated court record can close doors you never even knew were open. Link Removal From Search exists to delete those URLs permanently from Google and every connected surface.

What We Remove

Every category of URL we delete at source — then delist from Google.

We remove URLs two ways: completely deleting the page at the source (publisher, host, platform takedown), then delisting it from Google Search, Images, AI Overviews and every connected surface. Both layers, one flat fee.

§

Defamatory Content

Libel, slander, false accusations, fabricated news articles and malicious blog posts removed under defamation and tort law worldwide.

Doxxing

Leaked addresses, family information, daily routine maps and any data weaponised to threaten you or your household.

Fake Reviews

Outdated Records

Old news articles, expunged or sealed court records, dismissed charges and outdated press that no longer reflect reality.

RTBF / GDPR

Right-to-be-forgotten delisting requests under GDPR Article 17, UK DPA, LGPD, CCPA, Indian DPDP Act and equivalent frameworks.

How It Works

From URL submission to permanent deletion — usually inside 10 days. The page is gone from the source AND from Google.

A clear, four-step process. You stay informed at every stage. We do the technical work, the legal correspondence and the platform escalation.

1

Send Us the URL

Share the Google search result hurting you. We accept screenshots, search-result links and direct URLs. WhatsApp or the form above — both arrive in the same inbox.

2

Free Removal Audit

Within 24 hours we identify the strongest removal route — DMCA, defamation, GDPR, platform policy — and send a clear, flat-fee quote with timeline.

3

File & Escalate

We submit every required notice to host, platform and Google directly. If the host refuses, we escalate to upstream networks, registrars, payment processors and counsel.

4

Proof + Monitoring

You receive a complete removal report showing the source URL gone (404 / dead-host proof) and the Google SERP cleared. We monitor for 12 months and re-file instantly if the URL or any near-duplicate resurfaces anywhere online.

Legal Routes

Four proven channels — for complete source removal and Google delisting.

The right route depends on the URL’s content, your jurisdiction, and the platform hosting it. We assess every case for the strongest available angle.

1
Complete source removalWe do not just delist from Google — we delete the page at the source. Webmasters, hosts, registrars, CDNs and platforms are pursued until the URL itself is gone from the internet, then Google drops it from search within days.
2
DMCA takedown to GoogleFor copyrighted content you own. Google must delist under the DMCA — typical response 3-6 business days.
3
Google PII removal“Results about you” policy covers home addresses, phones, IDs, financial data, login credentials and explicit imagery. Filed with full evidence pack.
4
Right to be ForgottenGDPR Article 17, UK DPA, India DPDP, Brazil LGPD, Turkey, Russia, Australia, Switzerland. We handle the submission and any appeal.

FAQ

Google link removal — straight answers.

How do I remove a negative Google search result about my business?
Yes — for some categories Google offers public removal forms (outdated content, personal information, doxxing, explicit images, DMCA). But most self-submitted requests are rejected because the legal basis is mis-framed or the evidence package is incomplete. We win where individuals are usually refused, because every notice is drafted by senior removal specialists to platform-specific standards. Important: we do not just delist URLs from Google — we delete the page at the source (host, publisher, platform) so it cannot quietly resurface elsewhere.
Can a business sue for a negative Google result?
Absolutely. Every route we use — DMCA, defamation law, GDPR Article 17, UK DPA, CCPA, LGPD, Google’s personal-information policy and platform terms of service — is a legal mechanism designed for exactly this purpose.
What types of business content does Google remove?
Most cases resolve in 7-10 days. DMCA takedowns filed with the host AND Google typically 3-6 business days; complete PII removals (source + Google delisting) take 5-14 days; defamation 7-30 days; Right to be Forgotten 2-8 weeks for initial decision, faster on appeal.
How do I deal with a fake one-star review campaign?
In most cases the platform never shares the reporter’s identity. DMCA notices are a partial exception because US law requires reporter contact information — but we can file through legal counsel to shield your identity entirely.
Can I remove a Glassdoor or Indeed review from Google?
We monitor every removed URL for republication and trigger new takedowns the moment content resurfaces. Monitoring is included for 12 months on every case as standard.
What does a negative Google result actually cost a business?
Often, yes — under Right to be Forgotten if the content is outdated, inaccurate, excessive or no longer relevant. We assess every URL for the strongest available angle before quoting.
Can I get press releases or news articles removed from Google?
Depends on number of URLs, jurisdictions involved and complexity. Initial assessment is free; you receive a flat-fee quote before any work begins. No hourly charges, no hidden escalation fees.
How long does business reputation cleanup take?
Yes. When the source URL is cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Bing Copilot or Google AI Overviews, we file source removal plus AI-provider opt-out notices in parallel so the citation disappears at the same time as the Google listing.
