Free confidential review of the content and what can be achieved.

2

Remove

We handle the removal work until the content comes down, with status updates throughout.

“We had content copied and put online. A couple of other removal companies tried and were unsuccessful, Content Removal got it taken down very, very quickly. Can't recommend them enough; they've been a lifesaver for us.”

Source first, then search

Gone where it lives, not just hidden

Source removal takes the page down from the site hosting it. De-indexing clears it from search when the host will not act. We assess both for every link and tell you which is realistic before any work starts.

What is negative content removal?

Negative content removal is the professional work of taking damaging material about a person or a business off the internet, or out of the search results where people find it. It covers articles, posts, reviews, videos, images and the pages that copy them.

There are two outcomes, and they are not the same. Source removal means the page itself is gone, for everyone, everywhere. Search removal means the page stops appearing in Google or Bing for your name, while it may still exist for anyone holding the exact link. For most clients the search result is what costs them deals, hires and customers, so both outcomes matter. Your assessment tells you which one applies to each link before anything starts.

Removal or suppression: which do you need?

Suppression pushes negative results down by building positive pages above them. It can help, but the content is still there, it can climb back, and it does nothing about the page itself. Removal deals with the content directly.

We lead with removal because it is the outcome that lasts. Where a link genuinely cannot come down, we tell you so in writing, and the remaining work becomes part of a wider reputation management plan, including press placements that strengthen what ranks for your name.

What does negative content cost you?

Investors, acquirers, senior hires, customers and journalists all search your name before they commit. One hostile article or a 'scam' thread on page one is often enough to slow a raise, kill a partnership or send a buyer to a competitor, and you rarely hear why.

It also spreads. A single complaint gets copied by scraper sites, quoted in forum threads and summarised by AI assistants. The longer it sits, the more places it lives. Handling it early is cheaper and faster than handling it after it has multiplied.

How a negative content case runs

It starts with a free, confidential Exposure Scan. A senior specialist reviews every link you send, maps the copies you have not found, and tells you honestly what can come down, what cannot, and what it will cost. Nothing is filed without your approval.

Once you go ahead, each link is worked and verified at the source and in search before it counts as removed. You see the status of every link as it moves. Afterwards, monitoring catches reposts and new content early, while it is one link rather than twenty.

Who we work with

Most negative content cases come from founders, executives, coaches and course creators and the companies they run. Common starting points are news articles, Reddit threads, fake reviews, exposé videos and defamatory posts. See our case studies for documented results.

Frequently asked questions

Can negative content really be removed from Google?
Often, yes. Many damaging pages can be removed at the source, and many others can be taken out of search results for your name. Which applies to each link is the first thing your free assessment tells you.
What is the difference between removing and suppressing negative content?
Removal takes the content down, or out of search. Suppression pushes it lower by ranking other pages above it, but the content stays live and can return. We lead with removal and use suppression only where removal is not possible.
Can you remove a negative news article?
In many cases, yes, either from the publisher or from search results for your name. See news article removal for how those cases are assessed.
A previous removal request was refused. Can you still help?
Usually it is worth a review. A refused public report is not the whole assessment. Send us the link and the response you received, and we will assess the case on its own merits.
How long does negative content removal take?
It depends on the content and where it lives. Some links come down in days, others take weeks. You get an honest estimate for each link in writing before you decide.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Every engagement is covered by NDA, and public 'removed by' fields show Content Removal, never your name.
