Take back your
search results, lawfully.

Use Google's personal-information removal tools (the "Results about you" dashboard and the content removal request form) to request removal of your home address, phone, email, government IDs, and similar data from search results. This de-indexes the result from Google; it does not delete the source page. Essentras prepares and files these requests and pursues removal at the source where possible.

It depends. If the article is defamatory, you can file a legal removal request, which Google decides under local law and where a court ruling carries weight; if it infringes copyright, a DMCA applies; in the EU/UK, outdated personal data may qualify for erasure. If the article is truthful public-interest reporting, Google will not remove it, and the realistic strategy is suppression: publishing strong, accurate content that ranks above it. We assess which path is honest for your situation.

Where European data protection law applies, you can ask Google to delist outdated or irrelevant personal information about you from searches for your name, under GDPR Article 17, using Google's right-to-be-forgotten request form. You provide the URLs, the name searched, and your reasons, and Google weighs your privacy against public interest. You submit the request yourself, in your own name: Google says most requests come from the person affected. Essentras prepares the case with you and supports you through the process, and cannot promise a result.

Only if the review violates Google's policies, for example spam, fake reviews, off-topic content, or conflicts of interest. Google will not remove a genuine negative review simply because you dislike it. We identify policy-violating reviews and flag them through the correct process, and advise on responding to legitimate ones.

Mugshot removal usually involves a combination of contacting the host site, using Google's removal tools where the content qualifies (for example if records were expunged), and suppression. Outcomes vary by jurisdiction and whether the underlying record still exists. We assess your specific case honestly before quoting anything.

De-indexing removes a URL from Google's search results, but the page still exists and can be reached directly or via other search engines. Removal at source means the content is actually deleted by the website that hosts it. De-indexing is faster and does not need the site owner; removal at source is more complete. We pursue both where each applies.

No, and anyone who guarantees removal of any content is misleading you. Google and publishers make the final call, and truthful public-interest content generally cannot be removed without a legal basis. What we guarantee is using every lawful channel correctly and telling you honestly what is realistic before you commit.

It depends on what can be removed. Essentras lists Google review removal at $499 per review ($1,350 for 3, $2,000 for 5, $3,500 for 10), name removal from Google at $1,650 and 1 specific article at $2,200, each refunded per the terms at checkout if it cannot be done. Pushing lawful results down is priced per placement; published managed programs run about $1,500 to $10,000 a month (Everything-PR, Oct 2026). Our reputation management cost guide lists every price with its source.

Yes, when done through lawful channels: Google's own request forms, GDPR erasure requests, DMCA takedowns, and court orders. It is not legal or effective to hack, threaten, or file fraudulent claims. Essentras only uses lawful channels, which is also the only approach that produces durable results.
