Upon request, we may remove links to content from Google search results if the content is on sites that require people to pay money directly to the sites or to other agencies to get the content removed.
Requirements
For us to consider the content for removal, it must meet all of these requirements:
- You are the subject of the content in the submitted URL.
- The website is not a business review site.
- The website has removal practices that necessitate payment to the site, or other agencies, to have content removed.
Request to remove content from Google Search
You or your authorized representative can submit a request to remove links to the content from Google Search results. Any authorized representative must explain how they have the authority to act on your behalf.
Important: We only review the URLs that you or your authorized representative submit in the form.
What happens after you submit the removal request
- You get an automated email confirmation. This confirms we received the request.
- We review your request. Each request is evaluated based on the requirements above.
- We gather more info, if needed. In some cases, we may ask you for more information. If the request doesn’t have enough information for us to evaluate, like missing URLs, we’ll share specific instructions and ask you to resubmit the request.
- You get a notification of any action taken. If the request doesn't meet the requirements for removal, we’ll also include a brief explanation. If your request is denied and later you have additional materials to support your case, you can re-submit your request.
