Content Removal
Content Removal Services
Remove what can be removed, and push down what can't be. Every case follows the specific process for its platform or record type.
Researched: October 2026
Quick overview
- Content removal covers six types of content: reviews, news articles, court records, mugshots, private images, and unwanted Google results.
- Each type goes through the channel its platform honors, because no single process reaches all of them.
- Removal comes first. When content can't be taken down, search suppression moves it off the first page.
- Private, non-consensual images qualify for free, purpose-built removal channels before any paid service is considered.
- Exposed personal data on broker sites is covered under Privacy Protection.
What content removal covers
Content removal covers everything you can point to and say "that shouldn't be there."
- A one-star review that's actually a competitor's fake account.
- A years-old news story that no longer reflects who you are.
- A court record from a case that was dismissed.
- A mugshot from an arrest that never led to a conviction.
- A leaked photo that was never meant to leave a private conversation.
Each of these lives on a different platform, under a different policy, with a different removal path.
That's why content removal isn't one service here — it's six, each built around how a specific type of platform actually works.
- Google's own removal tools apply to search results, not the underlying page.
- Review platforms like Google and Yelp have their own policy-violation reporting systems, separate from legal takedown routes.
- Court-record aggregators and mugshot sites often run opt-out processes site by site, with no single form that reaches all of them.
- News publishers respond to direct outreach and legal requests differently than a search engine does.
How we approach every case
Whichever service applies to your situation, the approach is the same: identify exactly where the content lives and how it got indexed, use the specific removal or suppression channel that platform actually honors, and confirm the result.
If removal genuinely isn't possible for a given piece of content (some public records, for example, can be removed from search results but not deleted at the source), search suppression is the fallback: pushing it off the visible first page rather than leaving it as the top result for your name. The two are often combined in the same case.
Review Removal & Suppression
We remove false and policy-violating reviews from Google, Yelp, Glassdoor, and 50+ other platforms. Where removal isn't possible, we use search suppression.
Negative News & Article Removal
Request removal of negative news articles through publisher outreach and platform and search-engine requests, with search suppression where removal is not possible.
Court Record Removal
Remove arrest records, court filings, and public legal documents from aggregator sites, or push them down in Google when removal isn't possible.
Mugshot Removal
Remove mugshot photos from mugshot aggregator sites and Google image results.
Private Image Removal
Removal of non-consensual intimate images and leaked private photos, starting with free official channels.
Google De-indexing
Ask Google to remove unwanted URLs from its index through its own removal tools and, where they apply, legal requests.
Common questions
Is content removal the same as suppression?
No. Removal means the content itself, or its listing in Google's search results, is taken down. Suppression means the content stays online, but it's pushed off the visible search results for your name by ranking other content above it. We start with removal wherever it's realistically possible; suppression is the fallback for content that can't be removed.
How do I know if I need removal or suppression?
It usually depends on where the content lives, not on how damaging it feels. Content on platforms with a real removal or opt-out process — most reviews, images, and some public records — is a removal candidate. Content that's factually accurate and hosted by a legitimate news publisher, or a public record that must legally remain available at the source, usually isn't removable — that's where suppression comes in. Your free assessment tells you which category your situation falls into before we recommend anything.
Do I pay if the content isn't removed?
Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed, since it doesn't delete content.
