Remove a page or old information from Google search
If it's on your own website
- First we remove or update the page on your site (or password-protect or noindex it). This is the permanent fix.
- Then we can use Google Search Console's Removals tool to hide it from results quickly. That only lasts about six months, so step 1 is essential.
If it's on someone else's website
We can't remove it from their site, but if the content has already been removed or changed there, Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool can update the search result. Otherwise, contact that site's owner.
What to send us
- the exact search you typed into Google
- the link that shows in the results (copy it exactly)
- what's wrong with it (old address, staff member who's left, private info)
Google usually processes requests within a day or so, but it's not guaranteed.
