Rebuild the name.

One story, one complaint page, one old record — and it sits at the top of your name for years. We work with publishers, platforms and search engines to take those pages down, and to make sure what's left is true.

What we do

Six services, because a bad review and a court record are not the same problem.

Each one runs a different playbook, with a different route to removal. The audit tells us which of these your case actually needs.

Content removal

News articles, blog posts, videos and complaint pages taken down at the source or delisted from search.

Explore 02

Review removal

Policy-violating and fraudulent reviews disputed and removed on Google, Trustpilot, Glassdoor and the rest.

Explore 03

Search suppression

When a page can't come down, we push it off page one and rank the material that should be there instead.

Explore 04

Privacy & legal

Court records, personal data, doxxing and right-to-be-forgotten filings, supported by counsel where needed.

Explore 05

Reputation management

Ongoing control of the first page: owned profiles, earned coverage, structured data and monitoring.

Explore 06

Crisis management

Live incidents: same-day triage, publisher contact, holding statements and containment before it spreads.

What we remove

Most search problems are one of eight pages.

Each type comes down a different way. The first job is working out which one you're actually dealing with.

News articles

Reporting that was thin, wrong, or overtaken by an outcome the publisher never covered.

Arrest and mugshot pages

Booking photos republished for profit, often after charges were dropped or sealed.

Complaint and scam-report sites

Anonymous posts on platforms that charge to look at them, let alone take them down.

Record aggregators

Court and public data scraped, resold, and frozen at the worst moment of the file.

Defamatory blogs and forums

Targeted posts, often from one person, engineered to rank for your name.

Leaked personal data

Home addresses, family details, phone numbers and doxxing threads.

Autocomplete and images

The suggested word after your name, and the photo grid nobody wants attached to it.

Archives and mirrors

Syndications, caches and scrapes that quietly bring a removed page back.

How it works

Four stages, in order.

You'll know the plan for every single URL before you're asked to pay for anything.

Stage 01

Audit

We map every page that ranks for your name or brand — search, images, autocomplete, social, and the mirrors behind them. You get the full list, not a sales summary.

Stage 02

Grounds

Each URL gets a route: defamation, privacy law, platform policy, outdated-content rules, copyright, or none. Pages with no route are marked as such, in writing.

Stage 03

Action

We file with the publisher, the platform and the search engine, and escalate — including through counsel — when filings are ignored or refused.

Stage 04

Hold

Removed URLs stay monitored. If a page reappears, gets syndicated, or a new one surfaces, we move on it before it ranks.

Removal routes

Six ways an article comes down.

There is no single button. Which route applies depends on the page, the publisher and the jurisdiction — and sometimes the honest answer is the last one.

Route A

Publisher negotiation

Direct approach to the editor or site owner, with the correction, the outcome, or the legal exposure they hadn't considered.

Route B

Platform policy filings

Removal under a platform's own rules: doxxing, non-consensual imagery, harassment, personal financial data, impersonation.

Route C

Right to be forgotten

Delisting requests under GDPR and UK data protection law, with the balancing argument written properly the first time.

Route D

Court orders

Where a page is defamatory and the publisher won't move, a judgment supports de-indexing at the search engine.

Route E

Outdated content

Pages already deleted or changed at the source, still showing in results — cleared from the index and the cache.

Route F

Suppression

When a page genuinely can't come down, we build and rank the material that should be there instead. Slower, and we say so up front.

Industries we serve

Every sector gets attacked differently.

Different platforms, different regulators, different rules about what you're even allowed to say in a reply. We don't run one playbook across all of them.

All industries

Legal & law firms

Opposing-party reviews, bar complaint amplification and distorted case outcomes.

Healthcare & medical

Privacy-safe responses across Healthgrades, RateMDs and Google, without breaching confidentiality.

Finance & insurance

Regulator-compliant replies and disclosure records that need context, not silence.

Technology & SaaS

G2 and Capterra disputes, plus what AI assistants now say when buyers ask about you.

Real estate & property

Agent ratings, listing accuracy and development-project coverage that outlives the project.

Hospitality & travel

Rating alignment across booking platforms, where half a star moves the calendar.

E-commerce & retail

Verified-purchase disputes and review-farm activity across marketplaces.

Education & professional

Dual-audience monitoring where students, parents and clients all search the same name.

Selected results

What the first page looked like after.

Client names withheld by default — most of the people we work for are here precisely because they don't want to be discussed publicly.

Client feedback

In their words, without their names.

They were the first firm that told me which pages couldn't be removed. That's how I knew the rest of what they said was worth something.

Our standards

What we won't do.

This industry has a real fraud problem — forged court orders, bogus copyright claims, invented reviews. Those tactics get discovered, and when they do, the client wears it. Here's the line.

File copyright claims on content we don't own.
Submit fabricated court orders or forged documents.
Write fake reviews, fake press or fake testimonials.
Impersonate you, a publisher, a platform or a court.
Promise a removal before we've seen the URL.
Bill you for work on a page we've told you can't come down.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Can an article really be removed from Google?

Three different things get called "removal". Sometimes the page comes down at the source and the result disappears with it. Sometimes the page stays up but is delisted from search under privacy law or a court order. And sometimes neither is available — in which case the honest answer is suppression, not removal. You will be told which one you are looking at, per URL, before you pay anything.

How long does it take?

Platform-policy filings can resolve in days. Publisher negotiations usually run two to six weeks. Right-to-be-forgotten submissions and court-order routes take longer and depend on the jurisdiction. You get a timeline per URL after the audit rather than one number for the whole case.

What does it cost?

It depends on how many URLs are involved and which route each one takes — a policy filing and a litigated takedown are not the same piece of work. Single-URL cases start at a fixed fee; monitoring and suppression are billed monthly. You will have a written quote before anything starts.

Is this confidential?

Yes. Filings are made in whatever name the legal ground requires — usually yours or your counsel. We do not publish client names, identifying case studies, or logos without written permission, and we do not discuss your case with anyone you have not authorised.

What if the article is accurate?

True reporting is far harder to remove and, in many jurisdictions, protected. What often still works: outdated-content rules once a case has resolved, minimising personal data inside an otherwise accurate piece, correcting specific factual errors, and suppression. If a page is not going anywhere, we will say so rather than sell you a plan around it.

Can court records and arrest pages be removed?

Often, yes — particularly where charges were dropped, the case was dismissed, the record was sealed or expunged, or a commercial aggregator is republishing data it has no ongoing right to hold. The route depends entirely on the jurisdiction and the status of the underlying record, which is the first thing the audit establishes.

What happens if it comes back?

Removed URLs stay on monitoring for the term of the engagement. Syndicated copies, mirrors, archive snapshots and re-posts are handled as part of the same case, not billed as a new one.

Do you work outside the US and UK?

Yes. Removal routes vary sharply by country — data protection law that works in the EU has no equivalent elsewhere, and platform policy is often the stronger route outside it. Tell us where the content is hosted and where you are based, and the audit will account for both.
