Remove items from Google search
The best way to remove items from Google search
If you need to remove items from Google search, you have come to the right place. When something harmful appears online, it can affect your reputation, your work, and your peace of mind. It could be an old news story, a misleading article, or a link that should not still follow you around.
We help our clients remove items from Google search results. We deal with this every day and we know what works.
What we can help you remove from Google search
We can help remove a wide range of harmful Google search results. This often includes old newspaper articles that no longer reflect who you are today, reports that continue to appear long after the issue has passed, and stories that cause ongoing damage without serving any real public purpose.
We also deal with links that give the wrong impression. This might be because the article focuses on allegations rather than outcomes, leaves out key facts, or presents events in a way that feels unfair or one sided. Even when the content is not clearly false, it can still be misleading and harmful when it appears at the top of Google.
We can also help with defamatory statements, where the content crosses the line into serious reputational damage. In many cases, the issue is not that the article exists online, but that Google makes it so easy to find. The right legal approach can often remove the link from search results and stop it appearing when someone searches your name.
We focus on getting links removed from Google searches
Google often keeps showing pages even when they are outdated, unfair, or no longer relevant. Once something appears in search results, it can feel impossible to escape it, even if the story is years old or the information gives the wrong impression. In many cases, you may not be able to force the website to delete the article itself. Publishers often refuse, especially where the content came from a news site or public report. But our experience and many happy clients tell us that this does not mean you are stuck with it.
You can often remove the link from Google search results, so it no longer appears when someone searches your name. This is usually the most effective step, because most people never go beyond what they see on Google. We keep a record of Google’s removals, so if the link ever reappears, you do not need to start the process again.
How we help our clients remove items from Google search
We take over the whole process from start to finish.
First, we review what comes up when people search your name. We then work out the best legal route to remove it. Our expertise is in finding the right angle in your case, including points that may not be obvious at the outset. That is often what makes the difference between a refusal and a successful removal.
We have been doing this work for over two decades and we focus solely on this area of law. We know how Google handles these requests and how to present your case in the strongest way. We prepare the request properly, using your rights under UK data protection, privacy law, or any other legal route available. If Google refuses, we challenge the decision and push the case further. Where needed, we also contact Google in-house counsel directly.
Misleading or unfair articles
Removing misleading or unfair articles from Google search can be one of the most important steps in protecting your reputation.
These cases often involve content that is not obviously false, but still creates serious harm. An article may leave out the outcome of events, fail to mention that matters were resolved, or focus on allegations without context. Unfairness can take many forms. The wording may exaggerate what happened, the headline may suggest something more serious than the facts, or the article may give a one sided version of events that no longer reflects the truth.
It is not always easy to judge whether an article crosses the line. Many clients feel something is wrong but cannot clearly explain why it should come off Google. That is where we help. We have the experience and expertise to assess whether content is misleading, excessive, or unfair under the legal standards Google applies. We then present the case clearly and persuasively, supported by your rights.
These are some of the hardest links to live with, but they are often the ones where specialist legal handling makes the biggest difference.
