Remove your name from Google
Control what Google
says about your name.
When someone searches your name, page one is your reputation. We remove the results that qualify under policy or law, and push the rest down with stronger, accurate content. Honest about which is which, no hacking, and a free assessment first.
Free and honest. We tell you what is lawfully removable, and what is not.
The key distinction
Remove what you can. Bury what you can't.
Most "remove my name from Google" cases cannot be solved by deletion alone, because the pages are lawful news or records Google will not touch. The real fix is a combination: remove the results that qualify, and outrank the rest with authoritative coverage so they fall off page one. We are upfront about which lever applies to each result on your page one.
How it works
Reclaim your page one
We audit exactly what ranks for your name and classify each result: removable, suppressible, or fine.
Personal-data, policy-violating, and unlawful results go through Google's tools, GDPR, DMCA or legal removal.
For lawful pages, we publish authoritative coverage and assets that outrank them and reclaim page one.
We monitor your name and keep page one clean as things shift.
Suppression runs on real coverage
The fastest way to push a result down is to put stronger pages above it. Coverage in established outlets, an authority panel, and owned profiles do exactly that. Our marketplace gets you that coverage with every price on the page.
FAQ
Removing your name from Google, FAQ
Can I remove my name from Google search results?▾
Sometimes the result itself can be removed (personal data, content that breaks Google policy, defamation, or material covered by GDPR erasure). When the page is legitimate news or public record, it cannot be removed, but it can be pushed off page one by ranking positive, accurate content above it. Most real cases are a mix of both.
What is the difference between removal and suppression?▾
Removal takes the result off Google entirely (only possible when it qualifies under policy or law). Suppression leaves the page online but moves it down and off page one by publishing stronger, more authoritative content about you. Roughly 95% of "remove my name" cases are solved with suppression, because the underlying pages are lawful.
How does positive press help bury a bad result?▾
Google ranks authoritative, recent, on-topic pages about you above weaker ones. Coverage in established outlets, a clean Wikipedia or knowledge panel, and owned profiles outrank a lone negative result over time. That is exactly what our marketplace and authority services build.
How long does it take to clean up my name in Google?▾
Qualifying removals can clear in days to weeks. Suppression is slower, typically 1-3 months to reshape page one, because it depends on new content ranking. We give you a realistic timeline after a free assessment.
Is this legal?▾
Yes. We use lawful removal channels (Google policy tools, GDPR, DMCA, court orders) and legitimate content publishing for suppression. No hacking, no fake DMCA, no impersonation.
What does it cost?▾
We assess for free and price per case, because a single qualifying removal and a full page-one suppression program are very different jobs. You will know what is realistic before you commit.
