Remove a URL from Google's index

People land on this phrase for very different reasons: a business owner wants an old product page gone, someone else wants a specific page about them out of search entirely. We handle the second one. If a URL is hurting you personally or your business, and it is outdated, private, defamatory, or breaks a platform's own policy, we de-index it from Google, Bing, and Yandex. If you are trying to manage your own site's indexing, that is a job for a robots.txt file or Search Console, not us.

What "remove a URL from the index" usually means here

If you control the page yourself, whether it is your own website or a listing you can edit, removing it from Google is a matter of a noindex tag, a robots.txt rule, or the Search Console removal tool, and none of that needs an outside service. What we handle is the harder version: a URL you do not control, on a site you cannot edit, that is still showing up when someone searches your name or your business.

That covers the same ground as the rest of this site: personal information exposure, outdated or defamatory articles, mugshot and arrest-record listings, and pages that qualify for a right-to-be-forgotten style outcome even outside the EU and UK. If one of those fits your situation, that specific page will walk you through it faster than this one will.

If your case does not fit those categories

We are not going to take your money for a URL that will not qualify. If the page is accurate, current, and about a live issue, or if it belongs to someone else entirely, we will tell you that at the assessment stage instead of stringing you along.

Send us the link anyway if you are not sure which category it falls into. We look at it and tell you plainly whether it is workable and what the closest fit is.

Where we draw the line

  • This is not a tool for managing your own site's indexing. Use robots.txt, a noindex tag, or Search Console for pages you control.
  • We only act on a URL that is outdated, private, defamatory, or policy-violating and connected to you or your business.
  • If your case does not fit, we say so before you pay anything.
  • This page is general information, not legal advice. If your situation needs a lawyer, speak to one licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

De-indexed or your money back

You should not have to gamble on this. So the risk sits with us, not with you.

  • We assess your links first and tell you honestly whether we can do it. That part is free.
  • You only pay once we confirm we can get the URL out of search.
  • If we take the job and cannot de-index it, you get a full refund.
  • If it reappears in search within 30 days, we handle it again at no extra charge.

Once a URL is successfully de-indexed the work is done, so that part is non-refundable.

Other things we handle

Who you are dealing with

I am Roman Sydorenko. I have worked in SEO and search since 2016, which means I have spent most of my career on the mechanics of how pages get into Google, how they rank, and how they drop out. De-Index is that knowledge pointed in the other direction.

I am not a lawyer and I will not pretend otherwise. What I do is run your case end to end: look at every link, tell you what is realistic, handle the work, and check it stays out of search through the 30-day cover that comes with it. You deal with me, not an account manager.

Frequently asked questions

Can you remove any URL from Google's index?

No. We work on URLs that are outdated, private, defamatory, or against a platform's own policy, and connected to you or your business. A current, accurate page, or someone else's unrelated content, does not qualify.

What if I just want to noindex my own site's page?

That does not need us. A noindex meta tag, a robots.txt rule, or the URL removal tool in Search Console handles pages you control directly.

Which page should I actually use for my situation?

If it is personal details, see our personal information removal page. If it is an article or news story, see content removal. If it is a mugshot or arrest listing, see mugshot removal. Not sure? Send the link here and we will point you the right way.
